Since I don't think he ever actually told her about the meteor sword >> ...

[Her swing misses, and presents her with something of a problem- she could try to block his counterattack, but bringing the hammer back around to do so would force her to actually fight defensively for once. Nor did she have any reason to consider simply getting out of the way. So, naturally, she opted for the option that under normal circumstances would be perfectly safe. It just isn't this time.

Rather than use the hammer, she takes one hand off it in order to block his swing with her upper left arm- and regrets it pretty much immediately, letting out a sharp cry in pain as the blade actually does do its job. She may not be in any danger of losing the arm, but having a sword slice nearly an inch into the forearm is a problem even for her. And her surprise at actually being injured is enough to ensure that when she swings the hammer back around toward his side, her aim isn't quite what it should be. Even if it did connect while he was momentarily exposed, she was much more liable to strike him with the shaft than the business end.

Either way, it'd give her some breathing room while she tried to shut out the stinging pain from the gash in her arm. The bleeding she could deal with later, assuming the cold didn't end up addressing that problem for her.]

ohohohoho

[He was honestly expecting her to dodge the sword, because that's what a sensible person would do. Of course, he'd forgotten that Loom isn't a sensible person, and lo, the sword goes into her arm. It's his distraction in her getting actually hurt that means he gets hit with the shaft of the hammer.

He lets out a soft oof, rolling out of the way to catch his breath. He flashes her an apologetic look, but is smart enough to not actually apologise. She'd probably take it as an insult. He even considers asking her if she wants to get it looked at, but he doubts time outs are allowed in these sorts of things. Regardless, he catches his breath, waiting for her to make the next move. ]
