Xavier and Zelig fought. There was no emotion in either of them other than utter hopelessness. Anyone who was paying attention to them felt it. The two fought mechanically, blocking, punching, kicking, blocking. It was all the same. It was like a well coreographed fight scene from some movie. Then, for an instant, a flicker of awareness entered Zelig. He did an unexpected move out of the blue. Xavier was completely unprepared for it and caught the blow in the stomach. He fell with an 'omph' of surprise. Zelig froze in surprise and didn't notice the glint in Xavier's eyes.
"Xavier, I-"
He was cut off in mid sentence as Xavier swept his leg out and knocked Zelig off his feet. The blond boy fell flat on his back and then blinked to find Xavier's hand at his throat.
"Yield?" Xavier asked with a surprising twinkle of delight in his eye.
"I yield." Zelig acknowledged.
Xavier smiled a tiny smile and got up, helping his friend to his feet. Zelig stared at Xavier before smiling himself.
"That was a good round." he said.
"A very good round." Xavier replied.
The two slowly walked out of the obstacle course.
