[Once Mondo backs off a little, Rude resets his stance back to its initial position, feeling a slight ache forming with the arm he used to block the stomach punch. Not bad for a high school punk, but then again some of their best Turk candidates came from the streets.
He'll let Mondo come at him again; it's only fair given that the kid's injured and Rude's not actively looking to pummel him. Just a bit of roughing up, that's all. When Mondo tries to open the attack with a kick though, he may find that Rude's already been anticipating the move the instant his foot left the ground. Taking time to strategize works both ways and just as Mondo was trying to find an opening, Rude was also going through possible attacks and counter-measure in his head.
Now Mondo's a powerhouse so blocking wouldn't be too good a move. He might've considered grappling but there's a risk of injury to his hand. So that just leaves him with dodging and striking first. He...could possibly do the latter but again, Mondo's injured and Rude doesn't exactly want to land the kid with anymore than bruises.
So this time, he elects to dodge.
The kick to the shin is evaded by lifting his leg up and planting it firmly back on the ground once the kick's been dodged. Rude then follows up by ducking his head under the fist swing and planting his own punch to Mondo's stomach. If it hits, then he's going to take advantage of the situation to add an extra right hook to Mondo's head.
