Or at least should be. Certainly he may have Emil trying to scramble a defense, but with his reach, fighting in close would be much more difficult. Thankfully, Enno's sword has a bit of design made for such moments, if not intentionally. Letting go with one hand, he shifts his grip up to the unsharpened area beneath the two smaller parrying hooks and twists the weapon rather like one might a polearm. It is not his usual style, really. This much likely comes through in how awkward and hesitant the motion is. Mostly, it is to create distance again, with which he's moving for another wide slash to cut off Emil's oncoming attack. Though, through all of this, there is a small smile showing; Emil is making him have to think rather than just move through the usual motions.]
