"You shoulda been seen it when he kicked me down because he was so intent on having dibs on this here ax when we found it," Ethan simply said to Vlad, gesturing toward his weapon,
"I'm a gentleman of principle, like all men who have any right to call themselves men are, and I'm simply not a person who responds well to such a vulgar little imp like him, nor am I someone who goes against his own spoken word. I don't usually fire first, but when I do fire, no one ever forgets, I'll tell you that much."
Still, he said little more than Grell spoke to him in an unusually soft tone, almost... vulnerable. Almost... like Brona. And like
her. Ladies could be such beautiful, tragic creatures.
Ignoring Chucky's initial words, equating them to a barking dog at this point, he sighed toward Grell.
"Look... I don't know what you're ever on about when you talk about this... Grim Reaper and Death Scythe shit, but..." He took Grell's hand in his, looking her in the eye,
"I can get the gist that you..." He cleared his throat,
"... don't mind having me around, and... Well, I do--" He began, before being interrupted when Chucky decided to make a break for it and make his move, quickly prompting Grell to counter-act in response as well.
That didn't take long.
In the event that Grell's maneuver might have failed and Chucky's knife stabbed into his knee, Ethan didn't audibly react even as he was wounded, except for a small, muffled groan, before he looked down at Chucky, poised eyes staring right into the doll's being.
"... Doesn't hurt nearly as much as a bullet. Sorry."
Without allowing himself time to reel over in pain,
Ethan kicked Chucky down on the ground before the knife could go too deeply in, practically stomping on him a bit, before quickly reaching down and grabbing the doll by his hair and flinging him into the nearest wall! If the best weapon his enemy had was a knife... Well. He'd fought infinitely worse before. A minor stab wound was nothing. Even if it might be a bit annoying to walk around for a little, until he at least channeled the pain out.
'Tis just a flesh wound, after all.
