(Don't know Fire Emblem (whatever Anime/Game/Movie it is). I only know that skills beats all because skill is badass. But then according to what you say, that the rationale for spells too?)

Sorin and Ariana left the city gates. Sorin didn't bat an eyelid upon seeing Zero and his female followers, although his walking stance changed by an inperceptible amount, in case anything went wrong. Magic allowed him to use his bare hands, thus there was no need to drop into sword drawing stance. He would have to stop Ariana if anything went wrong. (It's not because he wants to help Zero if Ariana goes berserk. It is in everyone's best interest to stop her if that happens.). Sorin continued walking, raising his hand as a greeting (he dosen't talk, it is not a sign of friendliness, but just recognition.)

Ariana, on the other hand, instinctively placed her right hand on her blades sword and her movements changed rather drastically, as if readying herself to draw her weapon and dodge should the need arise. She followed Sorin, but her pace slowed slightly.
