[Once Ryoji is a safe distance away, Diarmuid bows to him and drops into a relaxed fighting stance with one blade at the ready in each hand. He closes his eyes a moment, focusing, before launching himself into action. His motions are purposely slow--one so that Ryoji can see what he is doing and two so that Sephiroth will hopefully get a false impression of how fast he is.
The blades dance around Diarmuid's body as he moves each strike flowing together one to another. At times, the blades seem to have only a very tenuous connection with his hands moving from one to the other and back again in the blink of an eye. He even actually throws the blades once or twice, tumbling and rolling to place himself into position to catch them before they come anywhere near touching the ground.]
