[ Link maneuvers away from the blade of the spear with a second quick dart backwards to safe range. He recognizes it for what it was — an experimental jab, meant to feel him out, and no different from Link's experimental move into range.
But, Link does not stop with that dodge. It gave him a vague idea of his reaction speed with that spear held out in both hands. His boots scuff against the grass and dirt as he continues his paces around Dimitri's left side, banking on a presumption that his dominant side would be the right, and tries again, moving with more urgency and intent this time. He is trying to move into the spearhead's striking range, and then past it, to force Dimitri to either step backwards or put himself at risk of a hit. ]
