[The mutual enthusiasm was appreciated as Sanzo could not help but feel the corners of his lips tug up in a feint smirk. This was it, this was the thrill he had known his entire life, the thrill he strived for. It had been so boring, these past few months, living on with no one out there posing any sort of physical threat to him.

Stepping back, Sanzo was quick to dodge the straight forward uppercut tossed at him. Making brief eye contact with Giovanni as he stepped back and quickly spun around. Planting his fist firmly in his other hand for support before aiming to drive his elbow into Giovanni's side. No force withheld, he was planning to hit him with every bit of momentum he had.]
