"You know," Codax began, as he watched the rooftops. "I really don't want to do this, seeing as how I'm not a murderer. However, you have nothing but your hooves. I have a sword. You put the facts together." He finished, drawing his sword, and stabbing it into the hoof of Cloud. The pain, of course, caused her to drop him, and he fell, with his sword, onto the rooftop below.
It wasn't a long drop, as Codax had been waiting for the right opportunity, however, being an earth pony, and having no way to break his fall, he landed roughly, twisting his back leg. It didn't break, but he wouldn't be able to run at full speed for a while. He slowly climbed down the side of the building, after sheathing his weapon, and began to limp down the alleyway, away from the streets.
