[ Whether or not Knives hears that first part is irrelevant as that looming disaster above them just remains there. But at the name 'Vash' his head will turn sharply to regard Nen and it's those eyes that might be indicative of Knives' overall feelings in terms of getting him involved. They look both furious and worried at the same time. Vash didn't need to get involved in this, he was perfectly capable of handling this on his own. His brother would only get hurt if he tried to help. ] Don't involve Vash. [ He says that but his voice is wavering, the poison is...getting to him rather quickly, and his face is still flushed, probably even more so now, as he raises his free arm to the sky, the blades shimmering as they turn their trajectory downward. ]
Not until they're all dead. [ He'll murmur before he lowers his arm and...those millions of knives rain down from the sky to completely decimate the hoard of scorpions now at their feet. Any that manage to live through Knives' attack get promptly sliced in half by his bladed tendrils. It's only after a moment or two that Knives will fall onto one knee and the arm wrapped around Nen will loosen enough so that they can easily break free. Normally he wouldn't show this kind of weakness to anyone, not even Vash, but that poison sure is doing a whole lot. His breathing might be getting shallower as the knives regroup around him and reform the characteristic cloak about his body. His plant markings are still illuminated over his skin, but the threat has been neutralized so he's still trying to process the high that he was just on.
He needs a moment to catch his breath, he's fine though. ]
