As soon as the person outside the cabin opened the door, the steel spike left Winters's hand.
No one expected someone to open the door at that moment, Winters and Bard shouted out at the same time.
If the person outside had waited to hear their warning before dodging, it would certainly have been too late. The person acted just before they yelled out, leaning to the side to avoid the flying implement, averting the danger.
This sharp little thing flew out the door and embedded itself in the wooden partition opposite the cabin door. The person outside reached out and pulled it down, holding it as he walked into the cabin, smiling, "Well, you land ducks are trying to go up against us sailors in a fight?"
Winters jumped down from the bed, stepped over to the other man, and steadied his shoulder, saying with relief, "Lucky you reacted quickly, Cage, very lucky. I'm so glad you're not hurt, I won't play like this in the cabin ever again."
