He extends his sword out, ready to receive the initial blow... but then she changes directions and - though he admirably tries to dodge the attack by sidestepping it - she just barely gets him, jabbing him in the side with the tip of her wooden sword.
He wrinkles his nose, displeased with himself. That's what he gets for not thinking ahead. Still, at least he's realized this now. )
