The moment the Heavy Infantry man turned around, Balthier slinked back behind the container. Although he was marginally too slow, as two bullets still hit him. One bullet scraped past his cheeck and shattered his jaw bone, while the other one imbedded itself in his shoulder. Crying in pain, Balthier dropped down to the floor. Eventually he managed to stand up and move along the container, to the back of it where he slumped down to the ground and held his jaw while waiting to heal.
Seeing Fennrich attack the snipers, Edgar did want to risk shooting at them again in fear of missing and hitting Fennrich instead. He tucked the crossbow away, then began moving towards another container.
