Fortrakt’s foreleg went to the left side of Marco’s head, but the human’s arms were faster. His left arm formed a triangle, hand covering his ear, while his right hand held it firm from the elbow. Not only did he block Fortrakt’s attack, but it also, apparently, counter-attacked, judging by the way the tiercel’s head snapped backwards. It took a moment for Gilda to realize that it was the raised elbow during the defensive motion that did the damage.
