Wash doesn't know what he expected - he's been skirting his breaking point for days and just shoved York to his own respective breaking point, and here they are, breaking down all over one another, a string of firecrackers, a chain reaction of explosions with the promise that, when all is said and done, something will be completely wrecked in the end-
And Wash has survived too goddamn long for it to be him. Let York get wrecked for once in his life. See what it feels like when the luck he was always so goddamn proud of runs out.
(He's not thinking rationally, he knows, and he doesn't care. Rationality is caught in fire, burning up and too hot to touch, and he's not about to bother with it.)
The table flip is a surprise, and he takes a step back; the followup attack is not, but his block is too slow and he takes the punch full in the jaw, half-twisting from the force of the blow and staggering-
Go with the inertia-
He drops low, weight on one leg while he lashes out with the other, attempting to sweep York's feet out from under him.
