The bullet flew towards the broken panel of her armor but the aim was off. It was too high. The pellet only creased the surface of the plate upon her shoulder, leaving a streak of black powder in it's wake but no damage of any value and no injury to the target.
Even if he been able to keep the gun in his hand after Elissa's dagger wrenched it away from him it was useless now. The flintlock musket only held the single shot. With it's payload gone the weapon was little more than a paperweight.
The whole of his action had been a clumsy last ditch attempt to save her from herself, thinking her recent bought with a gun might have been a deterrent for her attack. He had been wrong. In her madness even the fear of another gun shot had proved ineffectual... and he was paying the price for that now. Doubled over in pain from the accuracy of her knee he was now open to an attack himself.
