[The shield is successfully wrenched to Cid's side, but the thing about being able to summon a shield to yourself is, well, the shield is summoned. It's instinct more than a conscious decision, but the shield quite suddenly dissipates on Paul.
That blade aimed at his leg is another story. Though he sees the movement quite clearly thanks to his Garlean third eye, dodging it is another skill entirely, and unfortunately for Cid he isn't nearly fast enough. The blade hits its mark even as he tries to roll himself out of the way, a long gash down his leg.
Before he can hit the floor, the shield is re-summoned, but the noise it makes upon the impact to the ground is a very good sign that breaking his fall with the shield was almost certainly not a good idea. He's already scrambling to his feet, though the wound is more than enough to slow him down.]
