[ In many ways Ernesto was one of the luckier ones to have fought in the True Bolivarian army, because he managed to spend his time there without receiving any debilitating injury that would give Eustace that chance he's looking for. He's had his fair share of wounds in his lifetime, and a plethora of small scars here and there to show for it, but nothing particularly serious.
It means that Eustace isn't going to get that lucky break in Ernesto's movement he hopes for. Hell, if anything he's ducking and dodging in a way that suggests he's not as unaccustomed to this as his reluctance to fight might suggest.
But he's not some kind of infallible fighting god, and a smart and well timed move can get him even if he doesn't want it to. The kick takes him down, and all Ernesto has time to do is start to roll as he falls, landing with a harsh grunt on his shoulder, instead of cracking his head on the cavern floor. ]
