Just like a boxer, and running on sheer muscle memory at this point, Tobias ducked the backhand, feet sliding into a boxing stance as he did so. His left arm was pierced aqt the forearm so he could still use it as a functional defensive arm. It was only a shame the arrowhead was on his side of the arm, risking hitting that would have been a good deterrent. In his boxing stance, left side closer to the assassin than his right, which was his offensive arm now (it wasn't usually. Tonias was left handed), Tobias aimed a quick jab at his foe's upper gut. He was too slow in this state, trying another strong punch would get dodged again. This quick punch wouldn't hurt much but might wind his opponent, fortune letting.
