The man allowed the tackle to be made, with no resistance, dropping his long sword after his cut had been made. He gripped Jezin's arm with his new freehand, making sure to pull Jezin down with him, allowing Jezin to sit on the lower half of his chest. The man then raised his other free arm, placing his forearm in the direct path of the dirk. This time, when the dirk penetrated the torn sleeve of the robe, it made solid connection, prompting a low grunt, and blood to spurt out onto the blade. After the grunt, however, the stab seemed to mean nothing to the man. The man had allowed himself to be tackled easily allowed him to placed both his legs on the inside of Jezin's. With a jerk, the man sent a knee towards the crotch of Jezin, while placing a foot on the lower torso of Jezin, and pushing upwards. If this failed, the man reached out with both hands, attempting to place them on either side of the bodyguard's face.
