Blade stopped looking down, and instead looked across the river.

After a short time Blade stopped paying much attention to it.

When the girl entered and walked toward the bed Blade stopped her.

The blades stopped cutting before they cut anything but skin.

Then Blade stopped for a moment to stare at her.

Blade stopped dead and held his staff ready until the crashing died away.

There was another wait until the blades finally stopped spinning.

Blade fired on the run, missed, and stopped for a better shot.

A few had fallen when Blade stopped them, but only one stayed down.

Blade stopped cursing and turned to the people around him.
