'Artemis' had made sure that the cards she had chosen were played carefully. She didn't wish to spoil any of her tricks and surprises to keep things interesting. That, and if Cloud should find himself as her opponent again, he wouldn't be able to predict every move in her skill set. Even if he were to attempt to provoke a third round of their spar, the dark keybearer wasn't going let herself loose and reveal the full extent of her power. Selena didn't want to be compared. to any other keybearer; her power and skills were her own and through blood, sweat and tears that she was where she was at today.
While the dark keybearer heard the initial sound of the sand being scrapped under someone's, presumably Cloud's, shoes, she didn't turn her head toward him or reopen her eyes. It wasn't until the SOLDIER had to ask her if she minded that if he tried something that 'Artemis' did reopen her eyes and glance back at him. Something about a new technique that she was about to become a guinea pig for? He was correct of course, a spar would be an ideal place and time to try out a new technique before trying it out in a battle field where it was possible that it may not work or even grievously mess up on it. It certainly had to be interesting if he couldn't use a inanimate test dummy for it. "O-okay?? Answered 'Artemis' as she tilted her head to one side, What was he planning?
She soon found herself observing the SOLDIER, keeping herself on high guard for whatever new trick was to come. However, the Nostalgic Harvester was dismissed, favoring to wield the Heartsickness in the grip of both of her hands as she had always done in the years before. 'Artemis' was preparing herself for a worst-case scenario. The dark keybearer watched and waited. There was the glare and the flash of his eyes from his Intimidate, but there was no initial strike of fear snaking up her spine and making its way to her head and heart. She waited and raised her blade into a stance and her own guard up, wondering if there was more to the new technique and that it was just a facade before the real thing strikes. Nothing? 'Artemis' rose a brow, confused by the development. "I'm waiting."
