Anytime someone is holding a live blade or a charged/chambered firearm, he expects the absolute worst case from them. So when he feels the sheet level of force behind her blade as they clatter together, the sharp rapport of metal clashing against metal, his grip tightens and his smirk grows into something absolutely fierce.
Because this woman?
For all her petite size, there's an inhuman strength behind the heft of her sword.
His own blade deflects hers, pushes with an equal force hard towards the opposite side to see if it'd be enough to force her into losing balance, even as he kicks out hard with a heel towards her knee. Opponents rarely concerned themselves with rules of engagement or fair fights.
Not when they have a killjoy intent on ending their pathetic existences there before them. Best see how she responds to a bit of dirty tactics while he's at it as well.]
