"You- you- I'll get you for that! I'm a dragoon, don't you get it!?" Kain is still doubled over in pain, and unable to block her next kick. He cries out in anger and frustration. Is he going to let some rude, undisciplined dwarf girl beat him!? No chance, he'd never live it down!

So after another moment of wallowing in pain, he decides to act. He isn't completely skilled in the dragoon jumping yet, but he's got a start on his training, and that's good enough for now. So he makes a small leap toward her. He doesn't quite make the height of a proper dragoon, but it's still a chance to close the distance... and attempt to land so he can knock her over in the process.
