"Got it." Peripheral vision, okay. He's got some that'll make it useful but the whole of his left is one large blur of nothing. The back thing- it feels a little like judo, a little like akido, and enough like a warning for him to want to not. The rest of him is pretty confident if he gets in low and loops his arm around Mal's ribs that leverage is lost. So. He does that, comes in close and low, arm hooking around his ribs. Or at least trying to.
