Pondered

Akash hadn't been happy with me when he eventually regained his consciousness. 

He had claimed that me using the weak point at the back of his neck had been inherently dishonourable and that it had been rude of me to hold back for so long only to blitz him at the end of the fight like that. 

I had wanted to tell him that the reason I'd held off was that I was dealing with my debuffs and that I hadn't actually been trying to mislead him, but that would be way more explanation that it was worth. 

How was I meant to explain that my abilities had been hampered because I hadn't been able to shower or eat for two days while I was unconscious? And that practising my magic for an hour had somehow brought all of those abilities back?

Somehow, I didn't think that he would go for it.
