His hunch was correct- Fleuri's foe seemingly commanded hounds to peel off from elsewhere in the procession to target him, coming at him from opposite sides.  In addition to the dogs, the hounds' handler was coming forward with a large axe, evidently being not the type to hide behind his pets.

Not counting any other fae that might step in, or any more hounds that he might call to his side, that meant three foes to worry about, each coming from a different angle.  With the threat of even more hounds potentially being called to attack him meant that Fleuri would need to swiftly fell them as they came lest he be overwhelmed- all while dealing with the attacks from their master.

As the canine fae and the faceless axeman closed in, Fleuri lunged forward and spun in a circle, twirling his sword around, timed to strike the dogs and then come back forward in time to meet his foe's axe.
