[Spike grins as the blade grazes him.] A very palpable hit, love. [But instead of stepping back like a sane person, he moves forward into the blow and scores his own palpable hit (nat 20, dmg 30 and she's lucky you can't get penetration on subdual damage because HE ALMOST DID.)
The problem is, of course, that all the intent not to hurt her in the world doesn't make up for 30 damage. Spike drops his sword with a howl of pain and steps back (dmg 5), clutching his head.]
