( Cid can't help the response and he means it. Just looking at this newcomer lets him know that this isn't someone to be trifled with; the young lady knows how to use a sword and it's evident in posture alone. Good, a decent fight will be worth it, as long as he doesn't end up recruited at the end of it.
The fact soldiers are exchanging bets also doesn't go unnoticed; this ought to be good. Cid idly twirls the sparring sword in his right hand, giving a quick smile before settling into a fighting posture. He'll wait for Diana's first attack in order to try and understand their routine, to see what kind of attacks would come his way, though once things start it'll be easy enough for Diana to notice that Cid favours his right hand side, as if his left arm just isn't up to par. Other than that he's on form, military training with a blade kicking in no matter the situation. )
