[Flinging up his shield at the first sign of movement, Hei barely keeps it between himself and the girl. The sheer impact of the sword against the shield was enough to numb his fingers, but out of pure perseverance, Hei kept his grip. It didn't help though as Saber aimed for the unprotected area of his legs. Knees buckling, Hei fell on the ground, half gurgling in surprise. He waited only a second though to show his surprise before he rolled to the side in a lopsided roll as he took the shield with him. He doubted it was going to save him, but he did expect that the movement would make it a glancing blow, rather then a direct one. He at least trusted his timing that much. It was the follow-up he was uncertain of.]
