( Fortunately for Vanis, Hwylryn also knows nothing of weaponry and combat - what he had said to Blade in that regard was entirely true. If he understood weapons, why enlist Junior - why construct a hellish trap to assist his brutish pushing and grabbing and pulling?
So, when Vanis screams - in anger, in agony; perhaps the same thing, really - Hwylryn is already on alert, but lacks the particular prowess to disarm him, especially with a child mid-breakdown held tightly in his arms.
All he does is twist to turn his body away from Vanis - taking the brunt of his entire attack along his shoulder, back - wherever Vanis manages to get it, it's free real estate for his namesake, his wrath. )
There's the spirit. But you have the wrong target!
( He speaks through the pain - or, perhaps he's not in as much pain as he should be? Intriguing. Hwylryn's only complaint is Vanis's choice of target, not his anger - which he finds quite captivating, actually. )
