He doesn't blame her for seeing him how she does. He might, eventually, see what he can do to at least improve her opinion of him, but just at the moment it's not even so much as a conscious thought. Right now there's only the anger and the pain left behind by each blow he doesn't manage to block, and he's more than willing to let that carry him forward. (He always has been, to be perfectly honest, and the fact that this had been meant to be a simple sparring session doesn't so much as make a difference.)
It's only once she does step back that he lets go of that anger a little. Lets himself step back - albeit more metaphorically than physically - as he takes in the situation as it stands; there's a moment or three of silence and then he speaks up.
"Feeling better?"
It's a question he'd last asked to someone very different, under very different circumstances, but it seems suited to the moment; while he knows they'll both be sore and bruised in a day or two that's very much not what he's asking about. Even if he can only hope she understands his meaning.
