"You first, Floyd!" Jade hisses through his teeth at the slam against his knee. The blow isn't hard enough to hurt him, but more pressure and something will give. Someone's going to get hurt a little too much.

And usually, Jade would have given in by now, probably before the fight started. But he's strained and irritated and it's making him unusually stubborn. So instead he decides to loosen his grip slightly, enough so that he actually can pull Floyd's shoe off, and then... throws it at his face, hoping to stun his brother enough that he'll loosen his grip and Jade and can slide away.
