Not that it distracted him from her attempted assault, to which he remains standing completely still and unaffected. It's as if this situation's unfolded for him countless times, which it has, with brute force coming at him and literally passing right on through. Able to choose whether or not he's tangible to the world and other people, he phases through her punch with a quirking smile.
But rather than let it end there, he waits for the swing to go through, solid again and grabbing the back of the punch throwing arm as well as snagging her other shoulder in an abuse of position. He doesn't attempt to really immobilize her, but pull her back against his chest so that he can whisper to the shell of her ear.] Very nice first try.
