[ There is a clash - Gorgug's axe hitting the metal of Fabian's sword as he holds it up to block the blow, though his sword does dip a bit as he does so. Fabian is, after all, well aware that he's never going to win from Gorgug in any strength competition.
It's also why he knows he has to avoid getting close enough to Gorgug that the other can grab him. There's no way he's escaping from that. And even though Fabian still doesn't feel the sense of danger he probably should be feeling when Gorgug's eyes darken like that, even though he knows it wouldn't be a problem in the long run if Gorgug did get his hands on him, he's still in this spar to try and win it.
So when he realizes Gorgug's arm is suddenly much too close to his sleeve, Fabian casts a quick enhancement spell on himself, his shoes glowing with magic as he moves out of the way with an inhuman speed at the very last second. He moves a few quick steps, getting quite a bit backwards to try and stay out of grabbing range. ]
Come on, Gorgug! Don't be so slow! [ Look, Gorgug hasn't told him to stop poking.
And if that's his duty here, then-- he shall. He's not sure if Gorgug is aiming to get even angrier than this, after all. ] Maybe if you are just a little bit faster, you could even hold mine!
