[it was a stupid mistake. a very stupid mistake. impressively so. out of pure reflex, while engaging the uvi, flynn attempted to block an attack with his shield. which would've been fine, fine if he actually had a shield. alas, his shield was who knows where along with the rest of his gear.
long story short, the attack landed a direct hit on his left arm and resulted in a nasty-looking gash. the rest of the battle went off without a hitch, at least.
he arrives at the marketplace with the goal of simply passing through, briefly taking note of jude but not giving him much of a second thought. some palai might've been chased out of their homes or perhaps there were some additional residences beyond here. whatever the case, defending the weak comes first; dealing with his injury comes later. deep and bloody doesn't amount to life-threatening. this is fine. a knight must defend the weak first and foremost. it'll stop dripping blood soon enough. probably.]
