Cyrus's response was a simple one, "If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead already." he specifically used the word kill, not fight, because unless it was a specific occasion, he always and forever would fight to kill. He was the Reaper after all, and that name didn't come about for no good reason. He'd earned it from others through his own actions during the war.
"If you're looking for more munny here, I doubt you'll find it. We're here to put a stop to a War, and most of them don't look like they have much. Plus the man organizing everything is quite... enthusiastic about his beliefs. Somehow I doubt he has any use for a couple of sell-swords whose loyalty can easily be bought by a more generous offer." That was all he was going to say to these two. After that he simply returned to the spot he'd come from among the group, ignoring whatever reply they might give him. Because unless they were foolish enough to pick a fight with him, then they probably weren't worth it.
"Apologies," he said to the everyone else, "I thought the man was running away from something serious. But it was just thugs, nothing more."

It's him changing his mind because I asked for it to be that way. I asked Apollo if we could go ahead and end the fight there so it wouldn't drag out too much and he obliged.
@floodtalon
Read the second paragraph very carefully. Arthal immediately changed his mind after issuing the challenge. So no, you're the one ignoring things.
The change tones as he saw the blast coming, he was encircling himself with only one course of action he broke his Master's Enlightenment and slammed the blades together taking to the sky he soared up as quickly as he could outrunning the blast before slowly coming down. Redemption dissipated from his hand threw off his cloak cracking his neck he held Knight Seeker carefully with one hand. "No spells, no magic, blades only." He ordered, a proper duel fought in the style of the first wielders.
Redemption was gone only the Keyblade tied to his heart remained, the elf. "If we fought with me using me full potential you would lose." He said in very rough and dry voice. Arthal was in truth of two minds since the death of his master, the calmer more fun side that he had been up until Thon's death and the more serene and emotionless side. Cyrus could feel he that this new power could equal and even surpass him should it choose to fight him. This was the strength of a Master yet he could also sense that in truth this was not Arthal's heart.

I swear Azazel is purposely not paying attention to things around him. Does he not realize the fight's over? Because it is.
The elven master still sounded conceited, even after he finally decided to take things more seriously. Was it really so hard to admit or believe that someone stronger than oneself could be out there? Even Cyrus, for all his skill and experience from the war, knew well and good that he was far from the strongest in the universe. But such an argument was not worth making, especially when his goal was never to defeat the elf in the first place, only to see what kind of person he was. If the elf truly didn't understand that, or simply didn't wish to, then it was no concern of Cyrus.
Now that he was seeing some of the other wielders up close, he began to realize that his original assessment was not entirely accurate. Apart from the elven man there was also an elven woman, and she could very well have been as old and learned as her male counterpart. Also, he realized that there were no actual children among this group, some of them appearing only a handful of years younger than Cyrus himself. Even still, he didn't recognize a single one of them from the war, so his assessment that they were likely all rookies was still very likely true.
Cyrus might have given a reply to the elven man, but found himself interrupted by the brief scuffle between three of the others present. Well, it began as two, but the elven woman had stepped in and that seemed to be enough to settle things for now. But something else caught Cyrus's eye, a civilian fleeing from something. It could have simply been Heartless, but on the off-chance of something more dangerous lurking nearby, Cyrus took it upon himself to investigate the direction the fleeing vendor had come from. It didn't take long to spot the problem. Keyblade Wielders, but not the usual helpful sort. From their tone, to even the way they stood and moved, their disposition was perfectly clear. Mercenaries, Cyrus had put up with his share of their kind through out the war. Not all Keyblade Wielders desired the power of the X-Blade, some just used the war to put munny in their pocket. These sorts of Keyblade Wielders were scum as far as Cyrus was concerned, for what kind of self-respecting Wielder of the Key would sell his strength to the highest bidder? To them Cyrus had only one thing to say.
"Holding those blades gives you no right to terrorize the innocent." he told them, plain and blunt as usual, "If you crave battle so badly then go find some Heartless and fight to your heart's content, at least then you would be doing something useful."

They are sellswords. Who will do any job good or bad for the right money.
Don't mercenaries usually get more work out of war? Seems a bit counter productive for them to have any desire the stop the very thing that's likely getting them so much profit...
^ Beware the nice ones. They tend to be the most psychotic when they do finally break.
@Akayaofthemoon She reminds me of the various White Mage characters from Final Fantasy (Which I admittedly have always had a soft spot for). And believe me, in a party like this one, that's a real breath of fresh air. She's been the most likable to me thus far for that reason alone.
@Rex Crap, did I call him Rex and not Seth? I'm sorry about that, I'm usually pretty good about avoiding that kind of mix up. Guess I slipped today. And as I said above, no need for apologies from anyone, that was just an innocent observation on my part. Nothing more.

Oh I'm not asking for apologies, just making an observation. And besides, I'm pretty sure Bellasiel is, so far, the only one not being a jerk. Here's what I'm gathering from the characters based on their dialogue and actions thus far (Bear in mind these are simply my own personal impressions so you may want to take them with a grain of salt):
-Daichi: So far he sounds like a self-entitled thug and bully that really could stand a slice of humble pie at some point.
-Zero: At this point I can only assume he's an emotionally stunted drone who apparently isn't capable of making decisions, instead just blindly deferring to his prince.
-Rex: Okay, now Rex himself isn't actually that bad a guy from what I can tell, but holy crap his Keyblade is a friggin' psychopath, apparently.
-Azazel: I could be misreading something, but he's coming off as a hypocrite. I mean the guy inwardly mocked Arthal and Cyrus for using magic in their fight when, you know, he's a friggin' mage who, himself, has been using nothing but magic to do anything for himself.
-Arthal: Admittedly I didn't exactly get the best first impression of him, at first believing he was an arrogant prick. But since the fight with Cyrus Apollo's posts have made it clear that that was all a facade. However, that small glimpse of his real personality he showed at the end of the fight showed him to be... an arrogant prick, absolutely convinced that there was no possible way Cyrus could hope to beat him to the point he even said as much.
So yeah, those are my initial impressions of the characters I find to be less than likable at the moment. If I'm wrong about anything feel free to correct me, of course. After all, those are just my own personal first impressions and therefore totally subjective and debatable.
