He still grinned listening to him saying he'd make him bleed. It was a challenge almost to him, and a welcome one at that. Though he never changed his style as he went about avoiding and blocking any of the strikes. Though it was easy to tell Mizuki was getting annoyed at this and quickly. Though Thalion never thought he'd pick up on a few of the more subtle movements he did when avoiding.

The sudden kick wasn't expected as he winced a little and tried to force himself to correct the sudden error in his stance but found himself needed to avoid the blade all at the same time. Though he quickly noticed he had failed to avoid the blade completely.

His eyes narrowed a little before he grinned and turned the blade in his hand and seemingly changing his stance suddenly. "Ok so a little better... guess i'll stop toying with you now." His expression was a little dangerous looking as he moved a few steps slowly before dashing forward with a equal grace to the way he had been avoiding the strikes and blows all this time.

Though he still seemed to purposely aim for the blade Mizuki held, giving the other the false thoughts he was standing his own against him, this would all come in due time to the strike he needed. But for now he ensured that all Mizuki could do was block the strikes, if he had both blades out this would have been over as soon as he moved to attack. But he was holding that handicap still, maybe another time Mizuki would be prepared for that but for now this was good enough.

Neimi stood there with Raden and flinched each time steel struck upon steel as if she expected the worse knowing that Thalion had a temper and losing was in his vocabulary, then again neither was death. Though she knew he wouldn't kill Mizuki it still was a chance that they could both get hurt from this.

"Come on Mizuki, you wanted me to fight.. I don't see you doing too much now." He taunted a little still keeping his onslaught of strikes going never missing a beat, even with Mizuki trying to avoid moving in a pattern he was still forcing the other where ever he wanted him to go. He had a purpose to all of this movement and trying to back him into a corner, he wanted to pin him against one of the near-by walls.

The choices were to ground or pin him to get the match to stop with minimal bloodshed and he knew that. So that's what he was aiming for. Though it had been a while when someone had forced him to strike back,he hated seeing his own blood.
