I was a bit confused a to what exactly i should describe, and since it isn't of utmost relevance, i didn't go into detail. At this point, it's already assumed that Gigue is going to tough out spikes of pain and then collapse right after the half minute mark is reached.

If he rolls onto his knee, it the pommel would probably hit the ground, and in fact, almost wrench the sword out of the wound; so that's why i described it as 'hanging loose' in the wound. But i wasn't quite certain.
