Given how reticent he is about using Ea—in the previous scene, he explicitly says "I won't use it on you because that would sully it"—you'd think he wouldn't resort to it unless he absolutely has to. Hell, when he takes it out, he literally says "I did not think I wouldhave to use my sword against you".
