I /think/ you'd be wanting to do a Defy Danger!  Defend is usually more involved with putting yourself in a combat in such a way that you throughout the combat can defend somebody.<br/><br/>For example: You walk into the room, see some baddies.  'I get into position to block anyone coming at my friends, I'm in front and tanking this bitch.'<br/><br/>The issue with using Defend in this position is that it 'deflects an attack meant for them to you' as kind of the core idea behind it?  So it'd be like, "I SNEAK MY NECK INTO HIS GRASP!"<br/><br/>That said, I'm RIGHT about to read and post, so I may be missing the intent on it!  Sorry I've been a bit slow, I'm getting back on the train of writing every day! :)
