Braced as he was for the full impact of the bird's dive, Elidibus was able to turn away the talon's grasp by angling the shield just so. There might have been one effort to slice at the bird but it's arrested; Takechirou's sudden engagement with the downed avian is decidedly hampering any clear attempts to land a blow.
The Ascian disengages a few steps back. He almost knows before his gaze falls in Kiyoiri's direction but he'd been keeping part of his awareness on the child, given her protector had certainly not been bird-stepping through the air with his master on his back. It seems this attention was merited; but more to the fact it allows Elidibus to quickly cover the short distance to stand between the swift wing and Kiyoiri, sword thrust upward should the bird have continued its efforts to claim the healer for a meal.
