Darth Strosius
Right across the side of the Sith's head came the deactivated side of his saberstaff. Aelys was pleased to see that the Sith retreated now that he had claimed the first strike. Letting his hand slide along the length of the staff again, he took a more comfortable stance, shifting to face the Sith as he tilted the sapphire beam at a forty-five degree angle in his opponents direction.
Save for shuffling forwards, Aelys didn't press the attack, instead watching the Sith retreat those handful of steps with an obnoxious look growing on his face. The first look that held a shred of emotion since the two had encountered each other. "It's a wonder you've survived this long." And then the Sith was moving, a bold overhand strike against an enemy with longer reach. Aelys shifted to his favoured side, his left - the Sith's right, the saberstaff rising up to meet the crashing blade as he stepped. Angling his staff to his own right, he shoved in that direction, across his own torso in an attempt to knock the Sith off balance before his left leg lurched out to kick at the back of his knees to trip him up.
"You're supposed to be a challenge." Years and years of terrorizing the Outer Rim and the Tingel Arm, and this is what the Sith had to offer? Aelys' features settled back into his mocking sneer. "You kill unarmed people well enough, but now you falter? Pathetic." All Aelys felt was disappointment. As if his entire life leading up to this point had been for naught.
