[While Galen had been fully prepared for an attack by Kid, he really hadn't prepared for what kind of attack. He had been expecting something much worse, and so had been running through every counter-curse he could think of. And then Kid used something as mundane and novice as that, and Galen was so surprised that he didn't even think of the basic shield charm that could have deflected it.
He gritted his teeth as the spell sliced through the skin on his upper back, creating a cut that was several inches long diagonally down his back. If that was all... he'd received far worse from Vader. He could feel the blood soaking his robes, and trailing down his back.
He looked down at the floor behind him just in time to see a few drops of his own blood hit the ground, and he knew instantly there was no chance of keeping his cover. He whipped around, knowing that by the time he'd thought of an appropriate curse, Kid would have already attacked, so threw up the most powerful shield he could muster with 'Protego'.]
