When Severin stepped away, appearing quite pleased he wouldn't have to wrestle the monster that Tamhas was, Rafael started to limber up himself. However, the banter was enough to bring a grin to his face. "Oh, don't be too flattered. I just don't usually wrestle as part of a team. Wouldn't want to risk crushing our friend here under you."
The Sandoval, though, was not idly talking or just standing there. He was watching the man before him. Yes, he was large and outweighed him by more than a comfortable margin but he was also picking up on things. He was limbering up, the sign of a man actually trained and not just some bruiser; the way he moved from one foot to another, that slowness was deliberate and affected. He had seen how he moved, surprisingly nimble for a man his size. But when he removed his shirt, the bulging of muscle led Rafe to seriously consider he might have made a mistake.
However, he followed suit and proceeded to remove his doublet and his shirt, revealing arms, chest and arms that were corded with taut, lean muscles and he stretched further, letting the cordage of his muscles play beneath his skin as he entered the circle. And when he said there was no more time for talking, Rafael came forward.
He did not expect there to be any rules; that is beyond avoiding crippling or killing one's opponent. And as such, he came in low, ramming his shoulder at his midsection and reaching down with his arms to lift Tamhas' feet clear off the ground.
