Andragnath was far from a combatant- at her core she was a traveler, a simple scholar and theologian. She was here, in core, to do field research on how the Sith operate on a grand scale, how they treat their enemies and how they deal in warfare. To say that today had been an educational experience would be an understatement, as during that brief moment where she was tumbling through the atmosphere- she was given a chance to see the destruction that the Sith had wrought. Miles of burning buildings and laser cannon blasts- hordes of shambling figures choking the streets. Both military and civilian targets were reduced to ash.
She did not come here to be a warrior, but to be an observer- she was hopeful that she wouldn’t find herself in a situation like this- but the spy was upon her faster than she was able to react. A mess of grapples and powercells charging, for the briefest moment she thought that this was where she would meet her end, if he had been a more ruthless opponent it would have been. Her mind was swimming with the destruction, chaos, and sudden assault. Still disoriented from the landing itself.
Arm pinned, she let out a gasp through gritted teeth out of pure instinctive shock, her fur stood on end as the blaster’s barrel found a home against the back of her neck- the lightsaber still humming in her hand. She had options, and they all ran through her head at once.
The obvious one would be to flick the snap-lock on her saber and let the hinge swing back, cleaving the man from bottom to top with very little effort. But there was no hate in the Force, only desperation… undercurrents of hope.
He didn’t wish to be in this situation either.
The molten presence of the Force erupted through her body in a wave, and while rough and forceful, it was a poor excuse for an execution of the ability. The equivalent of a rather strong shove emanating from the center of her mass. Hopefully, it would send Damian to the floor, or at least give them some distance.
Should it break his hold, she would turn to the man, holding her saber low- with the tip nearly kissing the ground, a traditional fool’s guard.
“I’m not your foe. Lower the blaster.”.
