[ Great. Just the person he hadn't wanted to see while in this wretched city.
His eyes widen at her sudden appearance and the way she catches his blade with her hand. It's enough to stop him from applying more force to slice through her fingers, killing intent immediately dulled by her interference. While they may be enemies on the battlefield, that doesn't mean he can just forget the moments they've spent off of it, and some of the ferocity in his heart immediately dies off.
Not that that means he's just going to let her stab him. He immediately takes note of the differences of these swords compared to the one that had rendered him to a useless heap before, and with that bit of information clicked into place, he moves. Rather than stepping back or letting his usual armor take the hit, he quickly sidesteps the attack, watching as the blades pass by him.
And then his other hand comes flying down to try and clamp itself over her wrist. Sorry, he's not in the habit of grabbing swords by the blade so this will have to do. ]
Ciel! [ he snarls, eyes tracking after Liem as he hurries away. ] Liem doesn't belong here. You know that.
