*She stares in amasement at him*

No. But apparantly you do.

*she lashes out with a foot and sends his sabre skittering across the floor, then transforms and pins him to the gound in large cat form. She lunges for his throat*

*drawing on the force, he bunches his legs up and kicks out, sending her sliding accross the floor*

*pulls his lightsaber to his hand, and stuffs it into his pocket*

*stands*

If I can stop you clawing my throat out without hurting you, how do you think you'd fare if I was armed, pissed off, and prepared to use the power of the darkside?

*scowls*

Because that's what Miasma is. He's everything I could be if I turned.

*rather than the fear Annat seemed to be hoping for she looks contemplative for a while*

*about twenty stand armed and ready around the Mess' interior gantry*

*counts the number of enemy, works out his chances of survival*

Crap.

*they step away and another being with a head wrap appears. The colour change symbolising rank*

GUARD: This way. *motions to the lift*

*walks towards the lift as a guard picks up his lightsaber*

*guard reattaches it to Annat's hilt presumably smiling under the wrap*

*raises an eyebrow and steps into the lift*
