More splinters lodged in Farfarello's heel, but he ignored these as much as he had the ones in his arm. Caim was clearly learning, though, as his next strike aimed to take out one of Farfarello's legs, limiting his mobility. Farfarello launched himself into a back flip, the drawer hitting him in the shin hard, drawing blood, but he managed to land on his feet on the bed.

The lack of springs in the mattress meant Farfarello couldn't use the slight bounce to push back into another flip, and he had to settle for dropping into a crouch where he landed. His leg was bleeding, and he could tell the bone was bruised as well. The bruised limbs would eventually swell, stiffen up and slow him down, even if they didn't hurt, so it was time to end this fight. He'd allow Caim to tackle him, if he tried to do so, as this would get Caim within range of claws and boxcutter both.
