To keep trying to improve in maybe eventually getting a win in said spars with his younger brother who keeps winning against Ed every time. He isn't aiming to actually hurt her or anything. He is used to fighting Al who doesn't feel pain though, in that suit of armor. The homunculi who keep showing up somehow or other, or Kimblee. So it's not that he's necessarily going too easy either. But at least trying to hold back in that he wouldn't seriously injure her if his attempts against her were to land. Were to hit.
He instinctively reaches with his right arm to block, as he always does in reflex. The auto-mail could always be repa -- wait no it can't, not here. Which is why and how he ends up shifting and then attempting to block with his other arm, wincing as it hits.]

[No, Ed. Nobody wants to incur Izumi's wrath and have to fight her.]
