[His whole demeanor has definitely changed, everything about him suddenly seeming sharper, more vicious, and his smile is kind of unsettling. But his voice is still light and amused.
Maintaining his balance after the parry doesn't leave much room for moving out of the way of the swipe, so he jumps instead. Assuming that his opponent had expected this and will follow up with another attack, he's already moving to evade the moment his feet touch the ground. With the reach of that spear, toward Hak seems to be the only sensible direction unless he wants to be put completely on the defensive, but he doesn't have much time to do other than flick his bokuto at the other man's hand in an attempt to loosen his grip for a moment.]
