[Ren relaxes very slightly when Hibari completely avoids getting hit. It's not like he hadn't been expecting it, but it's still a relief to know that he won't need to be sending Hakkai a very panicked text. And that he can keep on doing that. That makes things easier.
He has a retort on his lips and ready to go, but saying he's honored when he should have no idea how good Hibari is might raise some awkward questions, so he just smiles instead.
Letting his shinki--and therefore, himself--get trapped is not an option, so he swings the axe away again and ducks low to try to avoid Hiabri's punch (if it grazes the top of his head, that's fine, he's had worse), and then launches himself forward with a punch aimed at Hibari's stomach.]
