I pictured this language to be quite a fast one, and I thought that speeding up the dialogue would generally end up with a late flash in regards to registering the fact that Atharavv almost hit Arrious. It works quite awkwardly in English logic, but hearing the emphasis of "Almost" at the end would probably be the last word, which could probably emphasis the fact that it was a near blow, and not a blow intended to harm, like "He almost hit him".
