Do you want me to? You needn't talk about me as if directing the question to someone else.

I figured you'd want to choose how far the blade was redirected. The way I enjoy a combat roleplay, someone will state their attack and assume certain options and results within it, and the opponent is always able to choose one of those, or pick their own to surprise the reader. As long as it is within the grace of logic. That's what I did, and I'd have felt no anger or disapproval if you wrote Sigurd's response as a dodge, and accepting no damage from his sword in the first place. Although I wrote there was a chance it'd strike him back, that's to enthrall whoever reads the fight. "Oh no, is Sigurd going to be his own demise!" They might think, before you choose to prove them wrong.
