Since I never gave my answer for the victory pose, here it is... however due to the victory fanfare I had playing up in my head, I realized that Blaike's victory pose would take too long to play out... but here it goes anyways.

Upon winning, Blaike casts aero as he lets go of his sword and promptly crosses his arms or grabs the tip of his hat. Because of the wind magic and rule of cool, this does two things. The aero he casted puts his sword back into it's sheathe and also picks up his cape and rests it on his back.
