Kadaj grinned brightly at Grimmjow's comment, and then turned his attention to Yylfordt. It sounded like he'd wounded someone's pride more than he'd wounded him generally; his cuts had been minor, and he might have a couple of bruises to contend with where Kadaj had landed a kick, but it wasn't enough to do real damage, at least not to someone with hierro of any degree.

"I'll take you full release next time," he said, calmly, and matter-of-factly. Part of him wanted Yylfordt to endure his defeat properly, and part of him was eager to move on to tougher and stronger matches.

He'd pushed Yylfordt, but he could probably push himself further.
