[ think of jaq's head moving to the side so that piter's forehead hits gravel as his refusal. think of the knee in piter's gut as a sort of signature on that formal refusal. no. unconsciousness doesn't sound too acceptable right now. not when literal life is on the line.
playing nice is out of the question, huh. sounds good to him.
he moves to roll away, then-- towards his stunner; knife still in his grip. he knows that the stunner will be what keeps him alive in this situation. knows that is what will make sure he doesn't kill piter.
after all, it's more about capture than anything. it always has been. ]
