You didn't give me much choice!

(He had to use his dominant hand, pull out some tricks... there really wasn't much chance to slack off and hide his ability. If he hadn't spent so much energy just trying to not get hit, he probably would have opted for a more direct and aggressive strategy against Felix instead. Actually, he should have done that from the beginning. He should have known better but he's been able to get by for so long with mostly speed and just enough skill, he'd fallen back on the usual strategy,)

... I guess I miscalculated.

(No further explanation there. Ah, but now Felix is coming at him verbally and while he isn't wrong, Claude isn't going to admit to any of that. At least buy a guy a drink first.)

More like I didn't want to get hit again. You almost got me in the face! (He brings a hand to his cheek, rubbing it as if just thinking about what could have been hurts him,) What would I have done then? It's my second best asset, right after my mind, you know!

(Yeah, he's definitely going to play this off.)
