But even as he's questioning Yuri's sanity, Lloyd's not about to pass up an opportunity like this. He lunges forward, fully intent on taking advantage of Yuri disarming himself. Unfortunately, he's not fast enough to land his attack before Yuri's sword is back in his hand and oh shit-!
"Whoa!" Lloyd squawks when he's nearly impaled then and there, only saved by a last minute twist that leaves him too off balance, too vulnerable, and he knows it. In desperation, he gathers his mana for a hurried Beast, trying to fling the energy at Yuri to push him back before the other swordsman can take advantage of his mistake. He's forgotten his own stipulation on Artes in the face of self-preservation.
Except once again, no mana comes to his call. To Yuri's eyes, the whole move will look like an inelegant attempt to block. Lloyd's eyes widen when nothing happens, Yuri's blade flashing toward him fast. Metal crashes, and Lloyd just isn't prepared. The next second, one sword goes flying from his grip.
