Quentin twisted and writhed frantically, lightsaber blurring as he fought to defend himself from the Baronet's twin lightsabers. He was good with a lightsaber, but this sort if stand-up fight wasn't his strength. He'd trained to work through misdirection and surprise, striking unsuspecting opponents whenever possible. "It doesn't require strength to surrender yourself to the darkness, Aldane," he replied. "All it requires is a certain petty cowardace."
"Cowardace?" Aldane replied with a thin smile as he advanced. "Do tell. Pray, explain how I am a ciward as you retreat before me."
"Cowardace," Quentin reoeated. "Being unwilling to stand for something. Being unable to accept responsibility. Being unable to accept that someone is better, and unwilling to piut in the difficult years of practice and training to achieve." His lightsaber screamed as he deflected a strike. "Being unwilling to accept that the title of Baronet was not yours, and unwilling to..."
"It was mine!" Aldane roared, hammering at Quentin's defenses. "It..."
"The fourth child of your house," Quentin cintinued. "Until yiu started murdering your family, rather than claim the title by merit."
"It should have been mine!" Aldane shouted. "I was smarter, mire skilled, more..."
"The only thing you excelled at was treachery," Quentin mocked. "Too lazy to show merit. Too self-absorbed to prove yourself. A petulant child, demanding that you be given the world simply for being soecial." Quentin riposted, and drive Aldane back. "The ancient Sith would despise what you are - they, at least, were not dilettants."
"ENOUGH!" Aldane roared, the dark side erupting from in a wave of concussive firce that hurled Quentin the length of the room. Caught off guard, Quentin smashed heavily into the wall and hung there for a moment before dropping limp to the ground. "What do you know of power, Shadow? Coward, am I? Dilettante, am I? Let me show you power!"
He gestured, reaching out with the Force to trigger the SIN implants embedded in Kaydia's, laughing as she writhed and screamed under the aginizing mixture of pleasure and pain. "Where is your power now, Jedi? Your righteous strength? What good your training, if you cannot protect her?" Another gesture, and he laughed as the current in the SIN doubked. "You will hear her scream often, Jedi! You will watch helpless as I use her as I see fit!"
His cold eyes bored into Linira's. "Come here, love," he purred. "Bring Kaydia to me." He smiled. "I'll even share her with you, this time."
"Cowardace?" Aldane replied with a thin smile as he advanced. "Do tell. Pray, explain how I am a ciward as you retreat before me."
