[Gojyo's shout just made Saul grin. He'd heard it all before - young men who managed to nick him in battle and died with such shouts of triumph in their throats. With the ice stopping any bleeding and preventing the blade from doing any more damage, he pushed his own, still trying to snap Gojyo's staff. The fight was just getting good.]
Is that - UGH!
[Now that he was not ready for. Really, really not ready for. This wasn't the sort of thing his ice shielding would go up against, and sure as it would any man, the pain made him double over. In that blind instant he'd barely registered that Gojyo's blade was gone, although his power didn't need his directing to freeze the wound over. He stumbled back slightly, staying on one knee, battle-cool reasserting itself just in time to notice that Gojyo had his weapon at hand again.]
Dome, you're a credit to your teachers.
[He stayed in a defensive crouch, waiting. Now with a better idea of what each of them could do, he could plan his next move in earnest.]
