And last time she died because she was slashed along her shoulder plates – about where she now hurt Hammerhead.

Make use of a wall? Also, he just had two accelerated peacemakers slice him like there’s no tomorrow, and both of those are gone. So maybe some foot soldier getting half a chance at one hit would be better than that Gnome continuing to poke around in his back with her daggers for as long as it takes him to get to where he’s going?

It’s not that I don’t find his reaction understandable (he probably does want to get out of the fight, and it’s that kind of moment where most people would not stop to think), but he’s not totally rational here, is what I was saying.

Even Hammerhead can’t afford to just lie down in the middle of an up-close fight.
