[ Eustace will be glad to know that Ernesto isn't hiding some great magic up his sleeve, as much as he wishes he was right now. The only thing he has going for him is some proficiency in weapons, and unsurprisingly Eustace is denying him the chance to show that off.
His smile is tense at the refusal, and he braces himself as he readies for that inevitable attack.
The lunge is the most obvious for something like daggers too, and fortunately it's also theoretically the easiest to dodge, because a person's body can only come at him so fast. The problem is that something being the "easiest" to dodge and a person's speed having "limits" in theory really doesn't mean much in practice. Eustace lunges, and Ernesto has a split second to try and pivot his body out of the way, barely swinging around to avoid getting stabbed.
He's steady on his feet as he backs up out of range of any backslash that Eustace might try. ]
So what's the plan? If you can't make us join, then you'll kill us?
