Asher had been pissed since the blow to the head, so if that had been Ray's goal then he'd reached it fairly quickly.

"You're even dumber than you look!" Asher hissed, but as dumb as he thought Ray's idea was it didn't stop him from hitting him. It wasn't making him feel any better, but he thought maybe there was a small chance that one of those punched would be the one that knocked some sense into the other man.

The blows stopped abruptly once Asher's arm started to get tired, and he shoved Ray off of himself.
