[ he hadn't really expected her to fall for the feint, but if she had, it would've filled him in about her experience. the fact that she caught the trick means she really does know what she's doing, has faced opponents before; doesn't get frazzled just at the idea of having opponents. especially armed ones, when she's not.
she moves and he moves in turn, keeping his eyes on her, focused on learning her fight style. it feels a little weird to do this with a stranger, especially one just using her bare hands, but training is something very familiar to him. he's able to relax into the spar, focus his attention and forget, briefly, about everything around them. he'll try a couple more experimental jabs as she lets him, waiting to see how she'll make her move.
percy, for his part, moves with clear training -- both in terms of having been taught, having that certain degree of control, and with experience, more than used to fighting for his life. he's educated in the ancient greek style, quick on his feet. ]
