[ Well, it was about the surprise, or so he thought. Instead, it looks like Spy expected it, he just can't get out of the way. That's just as good, in Scout's mind.
He steps back and to the side at the jab to his stomach, causing it to glance off his abdomen in a way that stings a bit; he'd have avoided getting winded if Spy wasn't pulling his punches, but boy, that'd be a hell of a bruise. At the same time, he throws an elbow at Spy's face, a feint that might cause the other to flinch back enough to expose his throat for Scout's forearm. Of course, even if he isn't trying to send the other man's windpipe into spasms, there's still a bony edge in his arm that's not as yielding.
Scout's personal hand-to-hand fighting style is quick and brutal, a flurry of attack before he's trying to put himself at a distance. While he's strong, Scout knows his speed is his greatest asset, which is why he's trying to bounce back after throwing his forearm, so he can circle Spy. ]

Too slow, Smokey!
