Being pulled down does startle Tidus some, but it's better than the sound of swooping that pasts by their heads, loud in their ears, Tidus not seeing anything until he manages to pull himself back up and the light that shines from Inigo's blade illuminates the street.

There was no being subtle now - but then, the large winged eye flapping in place only so it can turn back to them is far from inconspicuous. Tidus stares at it, stunned in a second of confusion that's dispelled with Inigo's call, and as the fiend - the fiend - wraps it wings back around itself in that called-out rebound.

There's no time to exchange anything else, the fiend swift in its sweep in, this time attempting to knock into them full force. It may be thinking they'll try ducking again, but there's a chance they have with both their blades if they're quick enough; Gibbers inside his blade to activate its water-element, and Tidus slashes out before it can hopefully get its knock in.
