Leon's eyes widened in surprise as he heard the dull clunk of his knife clattering against heavy plate armor. [i]Plate[/i]? Who walked around wearing plate armor? Although he was more surprised when the man tried to hide it from some reason and pretend to be hurt, foolish man, the act wouldn't have fooled a blind man. Seeing Charles grab a hold of something in his cloak and thinking that he was reaching for a dagger Leon slunk down setting his body low to the ground making it easier for him to dodge as he closed the distance between him and the butcher. However to his surprise the man pulled out a strange contraption he had never seen before, but given the man was pointing it at him it was most likely some kind of hand-crossbow so Leon jumped forward angling his body to avoid the shot.

 What he hadn't been expecting was the loud bang and speed of the projectile as it whizzed through the air and slammed into the side of his leg. Luckily his preemptive jump and leather armor kept the damage small and through the searing pain it seemed he only had a small hole in the the big muscle of his leg. Leon grinned viciously as hot blood ran down his leg, this would be fun he hadn't been injured in a while, even if the wound would no doubt take weeks if not months to heal before it fully healed. The force of his jump still carried him into Charles and unless the man was fast enough to move out of his reach immediately after firing his strange tool they would topple to the ground together. Here Leon had the advantage since he already had two knives in his hands and was stabbing towards what he knew to be weak points in plate amour, the armpit and the neck, as they fell to the ground.
