Rage. Good. This is exactly the sort of reaction he needed from one such as [member="Nox"] . One he could edge on. Cause mistakes. Become predictable. When the blast came, the Sith chose not to take it head on, but rather shift his weight to the side. Turning with it, he let the blast slam into his shoulder, and while it smarted, it allowed him to remain where he was.
And press forward. As the blast passed by, his form bee lined for hers, speed from both his rage and his joy flowing through him. Quickly the distance would be closed, in seconds, and his golden saber would come around as a mere flash. Three cuts where only one could be visible, as Vapaad was known for. The strikes were non lethal of course, he was far to curious on Nox's training to end her now, but they would certainly be painful should they connect.
