He moves as his count hits zero and he hears the fwump of her trap being placed.
She’s the distraction he needs in that moment: a split second of time that allows him to stab the frigid blade of his glaive into Roderick’s torso. The man cries out and there’s pain, but there’s anger and shock just as much. A creature that didn’t expect to be hurt is even more deadly.
Garner tanks the glaive free and there’s no spill of blood he can hear. Not that he has long to think on it as he hears the man turn, ostensibly to keep both threats in sight. There’s no sound of a weapon though, no retaliation to counter he can hear even as braces to meet it. Instead, there’s only the feeling of an odd burning sensation building quickly in his shoulder.
