I don't see how her sidestepping around to the right, his left, would angle her blade away from him unless he does something else with his knife. It sounds like he's tapping it on her inside so he could try to push it away but is just tapping it right now so her blade would definitely get a chance to at least start sliding directly his way as stated.

Let me explain: Vos has his left foot leading, meaning that his torso would be angled diagonally from his front-left to back-right, and if she steps to his left, the dagger being the pivot point, then her hilt moves to his left and point to the right, bringing the blade parallel to his torso.

Let me know if i misunderstood something.
