[ Well now. Things are getting interesting, aren't they?
He should get a clear glimpse of the approving smile on Saber's face while she reverses her grip on her sword, bracing the flat of the blade against the opposite arm like a shield to better defend against the return slash. Retreat isn't an option- he has the longer reach; she'd evade the kick, but not the sword - so of the two, it's only common sense to take the negligible injury.
So when the kick connects, she winces a little, but doesn't budge an inch even as Mugen strikes Excalibur with enough force to make her whole arm ache upon impact. That's the nice thing about being short, you don't have to sacrifice too much position-wise to maintain balance, aside from a slight widening of the stance.
He's strong and clever. Saber would be lying if she didn't admit to thinking she had him pinned a second ago. ]
Well played. [ An easy compliment, delivered in a tone like they're merely discussing the weather. Saber takes two generous hops backwards out of his range now that the immediate danger of being sliced open has passed. ] A second longer and I would have had your head.
