[X starts at the click and then Armin's halfway to his face. Good reaction time, no fear when facing someone stronger- if Armin was a reploid, X could probably avoid a blow by breaking his arm or dropping his shoulder to catch the blade on the hard part of his armor, letting it glance off and counterattacking- but at his speed and considering the hardness of his bones, X would definitely break something. That won't do.
No more time to think. The strike comes so X catches the blade and it bites through the softer parts of his hand down to the metal of his skeletal structure. X grimaces, shoves his hand to throw the blade aside and drops to avoid the second swing, aiming a kick at Armin's gear to try and dislodge the chord. He should first try to eliminate Armin's means of escape if he wants to apprehend him.]
