The shot to the groin does not go unnoticed - he'll pay for that later, same with the fist to the right kidney that lands over an older scar - but Skellig doesn't react.
After another few blows, and more shouting - some of the villagers are trying to get closer, to maybe help break up the fight - he simply hauls back and clocks Akatan hard with a stiff right-hook in the face.
With the way the man hits the dirt underneath them - it's obvious that Akatan is going to need a minute before he gets up.
Skellig pushes himself off, to his heels, then climbs to his knees - shaking slightly, though that's more the adrenaline surging than pain or weakness. He can't see out of his left eye, and it causes his balance to waver slightly before he shakes his head and adjusts his hearing.
