[ the bullet grazes matcha as he pulls hiryuu close and away from the bullet - as if to protect her - which hilariously is the movement that saves him. his free arm is hooked around her waist now, grip firm and unyielding.
he's close enough to maki that she can grab him - but he stands his ground (success on strength, effectiveness 4) without being pulled, swinging the tail end of the lance back to try to jab her in the gut and create distance between the two of them (success on strength, damage 6) while looking for the fucking shooter with his eyes ]
[Maki releases his neck to entirely dodge his jab with the lance (success, 6 saved) and as she turns side she instead attempts another stab with her knife, towards his lower back this time (success, damage 7)]
