Leaning forward while attacking is kind of the norm. 

Edit: It is also not mentioned anywhere whether Meats is leaning forward or not. Regardless, saying that an attack would miss without making any attempts at dodging it is bad form. If I say Mordem launches an attack against Meats, you can't very well go and say that it's going to miss without Meats actually doing anything to make that happen.

Edit Edit: The elf girl walked towards Bah'Ron, right? The one currently chilling on the ceiling?
