Sim watched the other boy with amusement, maybe even a little awe. He was much more of the 'swing blindly and bite the ear of your opponent' sort of guy but he could appreciate the skill involved in kung fu shit.

He remained doubtful with Jake's explanation, from the thousands of advances she had spurned she just found him repulsive. It made him feel bad, which Sim was totally out of his depth with, and shook off the feeling. "One day she'll get tired of slapping me and let me put a hand up her shirt" he joked, regaining his composure.

That was more like it, swapping stories and beer. "Hey man, as long as you're buying" he joked again.
