( Cockiness, respect, it's a bit of both when it comes to Cidolfus Telamon. Green eyes are watching carefully for the first move and he can't help but feel a thrill of his own when Diana takes it, bringing his own sword up to block. Others would be more keen to dodge and run around the battlefield but for Cid he knows that's just not on the cards; smoking and the slow petrification Ramuh takes upon him ensures that. The fact he's not as young as the rest of his group isn't even going to cross his mind and when Diana's blade meets his own he can feel the vibrations up his arm.
This is going to be interesting, a fight with just blades and nothing else. Back home it would have been blades and then lightning if the need had called for it, and should things have escalated all the more it would have been down to Cid to call upon Ramuh to take the reins, to bring judgement in the form of levin light to all those who dared. Though that would mean more petrification and ultimately, it's poor form to zap someone during a sparring match, powers or no.
Cid shoves forwards before taking a step back to create some space, already swinging his own weapon almost horizontally in front of him; he needs to see how this newcomer will move before going in for attacks that will land. )
