There's still a prickle of unease at the back of his neck he can't quite place, so he doesn't relax just yet.
A few more attacks in quick succession, this time mirroring Yuan's tactic -- redirecting momentum around and through whenever Nethan's blade is blocked, just to see how Yuan will react. He'll need to attack sometime.]
