Julian paused for a moment when King suddenly pulled out a knife, but that hesitation didn't last very long before he took a deep breath to calm his nerves and quickly snapped a feint kick towards King's knife wielding hand. In the next moment, he snapped down and suddenly sent his foot flying for King's knee instead, as he hoped to catch his fellow Julian off guard with the attack. Were that to fail, he would reach out and grab King's hand with his own moderately sore arms in order to prevent himself from getting stabbed.
