( That little bit of foreshadowing doesn't come soon enough for him to predict Tylor's next swap - the blast slides right past the broad side of his blade and hits him square in the stomach, the pain of the earlier blow and the blast itself winding him. Ow.
He kicks back in a swift step to shove some distance between the two of them, bringing his blade around with a defensive, broad swing - not a skill in itself, but a normal attack meant to fend Tylor off as he regains his footing.
The moment he does, though, he kicks off on his heel - to the side. The way he begins to life his blade at a particular angle is familiar: he looks like he's going to try for another Death Bringer from Tylor's flank or rear real quick to offset the advantage he suspects Tylor has in melee, and he's closing in fast. )
