[Zuko may be lacking in a variety of social skills, but when it comes to martial arts, she's had years of training and experience. Fire Nation priorities, man.
She's better at this than Rin, which is fine when she has those flames to avoid, too. Bending them away herself is preferably a last resort, since it probably means Rin has lost control.
When their swords meet, she can sense that Rin's stance is off. She immediately pivots, only one of her swords holding off Kurikara as she comes around to stand practically side-by-side with Rin, bumping shoulders with the girl to throw her even more off balance.]
