Mytho's steps are soft, yes, but Fakir's spent the last ten years listening for them, and he knows what those footsteps sound like. Fakir finishes the sequence (guard, step, step, guard, parry; beware the pile of stones that might once have been a wall) without openly acknowledging Mytho.
Fakir's swordwork isn't bad today; he's concentrating, and he's been practicing fairly constantly for the last few weeks, so he's moving like a fighter rather than a danseur.
When Fakir lowers the tip of the Lohengrin sword before Mytho's feet, though, his grace is all ballet.
