Thor chuckles, smiling back just as broadly, a friendly snarl of his own. "Good thing we're only sparring." There's no telling how rowdy this fight would get if they weren't both holding back.

Face to face, strength against strength, whoever relents first is going to lose ground. But something has to give, and Thor is a risk-taker. While Aslan is hopefully distracted by the trash-talk, Thor abruptly pivots to the side in an attempt to wrench the Lion around, off-balance, and legsweep a hind leg out from under him.
