I think a lot of trained individuals pretty much blank out their emotions during a tough fight...Anyways...Scaevola won't ever intentionally show his true appearance, though there have been situations here or there when he's been forced out. If he does, on his own, it means he knows one of them (his enemy or himself) won't be leaving the battle alive.

Actually it's pretty much impossible to consciously be emotionless unless you're some kind of Buddhist supermonk. You can suppress your emotions, you can even ignore them to the point that you don't even realize they're there, but there is always some kind of emotion that, if read, can broadcast your intentions. Melody fights ENTIRELY devoid of emotion, because she no longer thinks. She just becomes a creature of instinct.
