[He needs to end this fast, before the situation escalates too badly-- like it can get much worse. Knocking Perry out, that's the best way out of this, he figures. Then he doesn't back down and neither of them beat each other half to death. Just a couple clean blows to the head, then he'll... fuck, get someone to help him drag Perry to the infirmary or something. It's that or get him in a choke hold, but that's putting him too close for comfort to a raging berserker.] What, you want us to beat the shit out of each other? Kill each other? You'll still be here when it's done, and I'll still be there to piss you off.

[As Perry starts to get to his feet, Arthur reaches around, pulls his glock from its holster, and ejects the clip in a quick action. Using Perry's struggles to his advantage, he moves around to strike the weapon against the back of the big man's skull while he still can, before Perry regains those extra inches he's got on him. Of course, this also puts him back in grabbing range, and there's always a chance that Perry's fast enough to get him before he gets his inmate.]
