As Eva charged forward, he allowed his long sword to be disarmed from him. The man then bent his knees, ready to jump into the air, but as he did so, an arrow collided with the man's knee, striking it's way clear through the flesh, causing him to buckle. Before Eva could strike, the man rolled to the side, dodging Eva's strikes in the process. The man came to skidding halt as he ended his roll. The man slowly stood up, and looked at the two of them, before changing his gaze to where the Princess had ran off too. The man, despite the arrow hit, seemed somewhat unaffected, although it was obvious he had been somewhat hurt. The man weighed his options for the moment. He had taken far too much damage as it was, and he knew he wouldn't be able to last much longer, and catching up to the Princess was pretty much out of the question. He started a slow backpedal toward the safety of the thick garden, watching the two of them carefully as he made his slow retreat.
