Shortly after he had began to reach out through the Force, seeking the Presences of the beings who would become his prey, the beings who he would send to the great Nath; Lord of Death and the Dead, Xavka span around in surprise, the only sign of the shock that he felt being the momentary and slight raising of his eyebrow-less brows. Bellow his feet, racing up through the stairs of the building that Xavka had taken recent temporary residence in, was a Presence that sung fiercely within the Force, tinged with the very Dark that Xavka himself drew upon. If it were not for how impossible fast the Presence was gaining altitude, advancing upon his position on the two hundredth floor, Xavka would of paid them no mind. Instead, he would have turned his ethereal sigh, gifted through the Force,out past his present location, never noticing the being who sought to confront him. Their eagerness and haste had ripped from them the advantage of surprise.
Schooling his features into a mask of dark serenity, Xavka anchored his Presence bellow the perception, camouflaged within the swirling Dark and the ripple of the Force that covered the city planet of Coruscant - even if his opponent was coming to confront him, he would stick to his code and remain as unseen, unfelt and unheard as he possibly could. His actions showed not the gathering maelstrom of emotion that he was conjuring within himself, the passion and anger, emotion spanning from the purer to the darker, emotion of all sought that Xavka used to broaden his connection to the Dark. He sought to be prepared to act in any way, whether through the Force or body, and it was in the moments as his opponent sped up the stairs at an impossible, to those without the assistance of the Force, pace that he prepared.
As the Presence came to a stop outside his door, Xavka waved the fingers of his left arm slight, locking the door, a blockade that would only hold back his target for mere second, but mere second more than if he had not taken such actions. At the same time, Xavka raised his right hand behind his head, gripping the cowl of his robes between sharpened claws and pulling it forwards over his orat, thus cloaking his face within shadows. The only visible sight of his face were his slightly glowing eye that shone with a malicious and controlled feral anticipation for the fight ahead.
When the door to his room was torn from its hinges, Xavka didn't flinch as his pupil reacted instantly to the on pouring of light, transforming almost instantaneously from a large orb that consumed the majority of his iris to a slim slit not unlike the pupils of most felines. Instead, he stared directly at the man that stood before him, absentmindedly making a note of the amount of strength he held. As his vision cleared up from the shift in illumination within the room, removing the blurry sight he had momentarily had, Xavka took in the appearance of the man stood before him. He was tall, almost as tall as Xavka was, and powerfully built, but beyond that, Xavka could make out no other features, the light streaming out from behind the man casting him into a shadowed silhouette.
As the man spoke, Xavka continued to show no reaction, letting what he assumed to be a taunt slide past his notice, refusing to let it cloud his common sense. Instead, he merely replied in a static tone, his gravelly and deep voice growling out into the room. "A..." Xavka faked a small pause of thoughtfulness, palming a length of rope within the right sleeve of his robe as he did so. "Ah, my apologies, I do not seem to recognise what inconsequential breed you happen to be. Would you instead be willing to provide me with the name of the man who's life I shall soon be ending?"
