Wasn't there a whole ship like that? Prisoners always struggling against the current [And he starts at this point--] and getting more baloney stacked on their sentence sandwich.
[If Trevor's going to cajole like that then fine, Walter will make a legitimate attempt to use the element of surprise as he would were he serious. It's less fast than he'll become - about as much as if Walter did lunge a stab holding the knife with all the strength of his arm.]
[Walter is quite rattled by the lack of sound from blade impact, signifying Trevor did fully dodge. He stares where the dagger was, a bit obscured by the fluttering cloak, and then thrusts his hand out to guide his focus as he tries to get it to chase the man. Even its very tip touching would be fine to start. How fast can Trevor jump around anyway?]
Trevor grins, and he's off and running, bolting first away from Walter so that he has to follow the commotion to keep line of sight. He takes refuge in the long columns around the entrance hall, withdrawing his short sword to block when he can't fully jump over or slide under the knife.
And he's fast. It's rare that Trevor gets a chance to exercise his monster-slaying speed, so Walter's never seen him move this fast in his life, and that includes when Trevor wants to go get drinks]

How would this be a trap? If I fail to block it, it's a lesson for me to get better. Our whole lives here are dangerous, Walter, for fuck's sake.

[He suddenly moves when Walter does, throwing his cape up as a method of distraction and dodging to one side.]
