What does it mean to wait after a fight?

This entry describes waiting after a fight as the interval between the heat and the next talk, used so neither person speaks only to win. It notes that the wait is a pause with a return, not a disappearance, and that leaving without saying when one comes back is a different act.

What this entry does not do

It does not replace the entries on a time-out in a fight or on flooding, and it does not say a person must wait through fear or harm.
