[ why not his hand. if john actually reaches for that, dave will give him his right hand, sword in his left. he can use either, but given a preference he always goes left handed for sword.
frequently he uses it with two hands, but he can do one. ]
...Unfortunately, I think he's already here.
[ they need to get away from the door, dave realizes. it'd be easier if he could get john at his back with a weapon, or an actual wall, but it's too easy to get penned in at a wall anyway; with bro, with lil cal, you have to always be moving. and dave can't move as fast as he can move with john there, because he can't leave john behind and undefended. john's a weak point right now. he drags john out further, hand too tight, and can't decide where would be best for this.
there's a flicker-flash out of the corner of his vision again and dave flips his blade around to guard against it. it's not bro, he doesn't think - or it isn't bro that he can see. there's a glimpse of the goddamn grin lil cal has and he hates that puppet so fucking much. some amalgamation nightmare of an adult man lil cal, with a sword.
fun times, and nearly impossible to see right up until dave has to start flinging his free arm around to block strikes with his blade, backing up a step into john and then trying to stand his ground. ]
