the sapphire frog sailing at boots 's arm , lapblood 's body twisting into the air , her tail catching boots on the behind and catapulting her up over gregor 's head , hamnet 's voice as he caught her , the frog landing , leaping again directly for lapblood 's face , gregor 's arm in motion , his sword skewering the sapphire skin inches from lapblood 's ear .
