[ In his defence, it's not like he'd try to be chatty in a fight if he was himself, anyway. Not without good reason, or not without something being said to him that would really throw him off of his game. And with Ernesto — a man who had already come dangerously close to killing him — he would have been even less likely to oblige; more likely to try to turn any attempts at levity into an opening for him.
Here it's just mindless, which works both for and against him. For because he really can just attack with impunity; against because there's no strategizing on his end. He's just gonna do shit and keep doing shit until something finally stops him.
So he advances on Ernesto, letting his sword strike him with minimal reaction on his part but a baring of his teeth, lips curled back to expose all his fangs have to offer, and makes a move to grab at an ankle, a wrist — something, anything he can wrap his claw around, dig into, see where his strength will take him from there. As long as he gets ahold of him. Makes him stop backing away, forces him to deal with him, so he can kill him already. ]
