[Altaïr had calculated his move in an instant based on his assumption that the other man would continue to fight — an assumption he'd considered safe based on the fact that clearly, he has been doing quite well for himself so far.

They've only just met, but in this time and place they're comrades of sorts. Altaïr can feel his own strength surging as he whips around and charges at the ghouls with his sword, giving them a much more immediate threat to focus on. With luck, it'll buy them a little space.]
