Oh yeah, the more leather and studs, the more he looks like a punk, the better he feels. And he's got a lot more fuckwords to yell, more anger to throw out and around. Gokudera is a very angry young man, and it definitely makes it easier to fight if he's feeling annoyed. He's drop kicked a five-year old before. There's very little holding him back except that he can't bust out his weapon system, and doesn't want to make any of the aliens or people who put him in this ring angrier at him.

A burrito might help, and also a clear head. Right now, he's just letting anger take the wheel.

And he is not comfortable fighting hand to hand with someone he's never seen before. In fact, given Peter's hair color, he's reluctant to truly land a hit. The antagonizing doesn't actually make him angrier, and there was an apology. He's even more unwilling to hit him, and would offer a hand up, but nope... Peter's already on putting space between them.

"C'mon, are you going to try to hit me, or what?"
