Jekin Tolar (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=679642)<br/><br/>Jekin's instinct was to pull back just a step with his left leg, leaving his lightsaber bearing hand forward and his blaster pointed at Merryn but close to his body.  He slipped his finger out of the trigger guard and ignited his crimson bladed lightsaber at the same time.<br/><br/>He started to circle around to his left, further protecting his blaster hand.  Though the weapon remained pointed toward Merryn, he kept his finger off of the trigger.  In a real fight, he would have to wait for her guard to go down before he could fire the shot that would end this 'dispute'.  Even against someone who did not have a lightsaber, sticking his hand out ahead of his lightsaber was asking for it to get hit by an errant shot or even his own blade!<br/><br/>"Don't let her split you two up!" he said, before lunging with a burst of unnatural speed.  He feinted a half-finished swing with his lightsaber at Merryn as he rushed forward and Kailen advanced, trying to twist around her left side and get behind her.  It was a classic Ataru trick: make your foe look one way so you can go the other!<br/><br/>Once he was behind her, though, he did not follow through with the attack that the 'classic' maneuver normally was followed by.  Instead, he kept his blade up and ready to guard himself.  It was equal parts concern for the superior he was so bonded to and knowing that she would be ready for the obvious.  If he was going to win, it would not be with a careless slash or an opening jab that she expected.  No, he wanted to stay well out of the way of the two who knew how to work together.  The more room he had to move, the safer he was!
