Kian was prepared for the attack to be intercepted. He was prepared for the attack to be finessed aside with a flick of the wrist, as was typically the case in fighting Makashi users. But what Kian wasn't prepared for was the sudden reappearance of the second lightsaber. As it slapped into his opponent's hand, the other lightsaber intercepted his attack and, with a rotation of the wrist, drove Kian's attack out wide opening Kian up for the attack.
Kian saw the precariousness of his situation.
Kian saw the blade as it descended toward his elbow.
Kian saw the only real option he had. One of the benefits of Kian's philosophy of combat was its reliance on simplicity. He tried hard to keep things straightforward and simple, and in this situation, it would save his arm. Pulling his arm back toward, Kian lined up his forearm with the descending blade, putting the cortosis arm guards he wore between the blade and his flesh. Kian wasn't one to rely on armor and he wore very little. His robes were armorweave, meant to aid in protecting him on the battlefield but without weighing him down. But his armguards were the one thing he wore that was somewhat extravagant for a Jedi.
And right then he was very grateful he had them. Shoving his forearm into the attack, he hoped that the strange looking weapons that served as a lightsaber for the Vong/Sith warrior, operated similarly to a regular lightsaber. If so, contact with the cortosis armor could short out the blade. It was a trick that would likely only work once, if it worked at all.
Kian wasn't willing to not push the offensive though and as he thrust his arm at the blade, Kian pulled his lightsaber across, jabbing the tip of his blade for the armpit of the Sith before him. Kian hoped to find a soft place in the armor where he could score a hit. The blood on his shoulder had slowed, but the pain continued to throb and Kian was certain he'd be spending some time in the bacta tank.....assuming he survived the battle.
Another part of him wished to look away, to gauge how the fight between [member="Ryan Korr"] and [member="Matsu Xiangu"] were making out, but he couldn't afford the slip in concentration and for some reason the room was beginning to get very, very hot. Kian was suddenly grateful he was wearing light, armorweave robes and not heavy armor.
