While he wasn't paying that much attention, he sensed a stirring in the crowd when they didn't immediately move in and pummel each other. It seemed that the other weapon was also uncertain of what to do now that he wouldn't simply rush in and engage to show off his arm. However, his arm was a weapon upon a weapon; he used it when it was most beneficial for him to complete his mission. Right now, he was studying his opponent, so there was no point wasting himself on flashing it about.
Like now. He threw his metal arm up like a shield of his own in front of his head, knocking away the shield before he realized his slight error. He watched it ricochet away and return to the other weapon's hand, and he knew he should have caught it and perhaps used it for himself. Next time, he thought.
While the man was slightly distracted getting in place to grasp the shield, he drew a knife and threw it with deadly accuracy the distance that was between them.
