Hanky noticed this change and assumed Gid had managed to see through his ploy...
...
...
Unfortunately for him, if he was just a BIT more patient, perhaps he could've managed to avoid the absolute BLOODBATH awaiting him...
...
By shifting ever so slightly, Hanky assumed a stance...
...
...
One with no emphasis on attack and completely focused on defense....
...
It was perfect!
...
...
Just...
...
A defense as flimsy as this, from someone with no experience fighting?
...
...
Makes sense why Hanky's morale was low...
