A chill ran down Gael's spine as he watched Charlie, and then he was rushing towards the older man, attempting to help him up but Charlie got up on his own, "I'm okay," he said as he put his fists on guard right away, nodding his chin to Gael to continue the last round.
Reluctantly, Gael brought his gloves back up too. He didn't mean to hit the other that hard. His heart pounded in his chest, worried that if he had hit harder, he could've done a lot more damage than what just happened. Something about what Charlie said hit a nerve on Gael that he forgot to hold himself back.
As Charlie began striking again, he told Gael: "I think you know better than to show pity to your enemy, Son. There can always be someone older than you and you just have to do what you need to do to protect your family. Even if they're someone you've trusted for a long time."
