Torkin Jordiac remained still until it became obvious that he was quickly becoming surrounded. He prepared himself for a nice battle with the pretenders. A group this large of well trained fighters would pose a threat to him; this ragtag posse didn't stand a chance. But just before he could move from his cocky thoughts into action another presence flooded the Force. Suddenly he felt a message directed to him. It wasn't words necessarily that he got at first but rather an urging to remain calm and wear he was. Then a name; Tey Shaak. The hope that fluttered inside of Torkin surprised him somewhat. Apparently he had been more worried about the coming battle than he thought.<br/><br/>Was he worried about losing he wondered; or rather about how dark he would lean in the process.<br/><br/>Either way he felt much more secure in the fight and in his ability to stand up as a Jedi with the simple addition of one Tey Shaak. Torkin didn't even know if Tey knew him or not but he held a high respect for the Knight. He was well thought of as one of the better swordsmen in the order. For his part, Torkin knew his job just got substantially easier. There was a doubt of why the order wouldn't trust him alone. But then he hadn't said he was here to take over, just to help. This was still Torkin's mission and he would do his best to lead it as such. Stepping out he used the Force to shove two members of the group who were standing too close together, into the wall behind them. The impact was great enough that they should be down for a while. Still with no words exchanging he put his back to where Tey Shaak stood as he lunged forward against another attacker. His strength had always been more in the area of Force power but fighting along side Tey Shaak, he found himself willing his sword hand to become stronger.
