Well, that had the desired effect. It slowed Leela down so Leia could get her bearings straight. Even though she was still on the ground, Leia had enough self preservation to stay alive. Which meant that when she saw Leela go for the knife, the princess rolled and grabbed it. Yes, her blood was staining her clothing. Staining the ground, but Leia couldn't be bothered by that. All she could be bothered with was surviving.
Gasping in pain from the movement, Leia pushed herself up and swayed, vision swimming from blood loss. Okay. This was bad. There was no way she could defend herself against bugs in this condition. This was just not her day. So not her day. Right. Getting herself steady. Focusing her vision, Leia fixed her would be assassin with a hard glare. She had the upper hand now. She had both weapons and Leela was bleeding. So was Leia but Leela didn't have a means to attack her anymore. And that was how Leia wanted it. For the fighting to stop.
