[ No - no, he doesn't want to be cornered. And this is about where instinct kicks in, Manzant's steep learning curve taking over. Royce is small and weak and underfed, but he's used to his body being this way. He knows how to move and he knows how to get up in someone's space without effort - he darts forward, sinking down and then up, slashing the razor through the air at Alfie, not caring so much where he lands the hit. As long as he does.
And then he'll aim to hook Alfie's feet out from under him with his own, so he can get at the door.
Not that it matters. His hearing isn't as good as it's supposed to be, and he misses the click of the door locking as he sweeps his leg out to knock Alfie down. ]
