Corvilis seemed to enjoy running his mouth and wasn't quite as clever as he seemed to be. Sure, backing away and fleeing could be seen as a weakness but the kid had to realise he was the weaker of the two and he was being given an easy out. Prolonging their exchange raised the chances that D'hys would change his mind or find a new way to instill fear.
However, the Flight victory the day before was still leaving Zeianth in a smug and good mood which meant D'hys was feeling some of it. It was easy enough at this stage in their bond to block it out but D'hys enjoyed their connection and sharing good moods. So Corvilis had been blessed with a slightly mellowed yet angry bluerider.
"How kind of you," D'hys drawled, not really impressed by the gesture. He saw it for what it was; a way to save his own skin and keep some marks rolling in. "I will take that offer and politely remind you how if you take one wrong step, I will know and I will use that against you and not need to pay you for your services after that."
Again he grinned. "But no bad blood and all that, right? I'll be in touch when I have something for you to do." Instead of letting Covilis flee again, D'hys ended the conversation with another step back and turned his back on the kid, showing how little of a threat Corvilis posed to him, and made his way down the hall.
