The extra time is a blessing, letting Trevor position himself between the tiger and the scaffolds that still stand, so that the only places it can go are at him or back into the now largely empty stands. The tiger’s movement is less graceful now, its tail damaged by the strength of Alucard’s tug and useless to balance it. But being between the trapped acrobats and the massive undead tiger also means that his own movement is limited. The whip’s great advantage is that he can keep horrible things at a distance and now, that isn’t an option anymore if he wants to control the damage. If he has to stay close, the whip becomes much less useful.
Which means it’s time to knife fight a tiger. And if you were to ask him this morning what he thought he was going to be doing with his evening it would be- probably listening to Sypha’s radio shows over dinner. Not this.
The silver knife, at least, works. It hisses as it sinks into the tiger’s flesh, slicing the tendons of one of its front legs. The other swipes at him, claws digging into his shoulder this time. ]
