Interestingly, Saïx made no move to avoid the Paraloop this time. He'd done this enough times to know that he would feel nothing of the attack. Pain was only a distant memory right now. All that mattered was the feel of the sword in his head and the rage coursing through he veins.

He was not, however, expecting the moment of disorientation that came with it. It had been... quite some time since he'd fought someone whose attacks could cause such an effect, and for a brief moment he stumbled and almost fell over, before righting himself again.

His opponent had beckoned him forward, and he would answer that call, sword swinging once more as he drew in close once again.
