the metaphor would have worked better if you didn't follow up with calling it "sparring"

i'm not sure how you think this won't keep him from throwing his fist in your face first thing, though
yeah he said it first, and self-defense is one thing, but throwing water in his face isn't exactly a defense

sparring is the act of trading blows
you went from saying "it's not fighting" to still saying "it's fighting"
i can't be blamed if you don't use words with meanings correctly
