[ That shift of his expression is somewhat satisfying, because it proves that Achilles has been successful in his effort to legitimately affect him.
Up until now, Hei was faking, playing the part of a stranger who probably didn't consider him as anyone of importance or threat. More than being interested in his flirtations, Achilles thinks he likes this side of his former Master the most. Dangerous, wild, and impossibly beautiful.
The moment his eyes darken, life seeming to drain right out of them, Achilles prepares himself. He is the man most known for his swift feet, but without his divine speed he is only as fast as what is humanly possible. He anticipates an attack, but he is a split second too late to react as Hei suddenly thrusts his leg out - the distance between them is so little that he succeeds without a misstep.
Achilles' balance is thrown off as a result, electric pain shooting up through his leg that he has to grit his teeth through as the other man begins lunging at him. Pankration has honed his reflexes, and grappling with other men is nothing he isn't privy to. Hei's arms will by grabbed by strong hands, and instead of pushing him off, he tries to throw him up mid-fall and somersault backwards so that he's changing their positions when they land. If they land. ]
Tch! [ There's no air left in him to spare for taunting or banter. Right now he has to make sure he gets the upper-hand in this. ]
