I nod at the name, taking in the fact that he calls himself 'mad' in stride. It's not the worst thing to call yourself or to get called; I'd been called crazy, suicidal, and reckless during Initiation alone. At least he owns it.

"We can tap out," I say. Not that I think either of us will want to but it's important to me that it be allowed, if only because it means we're not among Dauntless and people like Peter, who punched me unconscious just for the hell of it "Next time, I'll even bring my sword."

I circle slowly toward him, waiting to see how he moves.
