[Dave never cared much for pretending to be mature, but his frame of reference for maturity was bleak anyway. Bro could be as childish as he was, and he hadn't seen an adult for years before arriving here. He isn't really used to being judged or pitied for his age, he just do what he do.
And what he do now is getting more muddled up, he doesn't feel like this is a friendly spar simply because he doesn't trust Thane at all. He doesn't know him, he doesn't know what he wants, but he needs to act fast. When Thane charges him, he lifts a leg to kick him square and hard in the chest, perhaps with more force than either he or Thane had been expecting. He might be skinny, but he's got a damn powerful kick in him.]
