Despite the mask on his face, Cain had done a fairly good job of reading Tsolan. Form the very first movement of the rogue's arm, the sith was already reaching down for his saberstaff, prepared for combat. What he wasn't prepared for was the unexpected attack of his friend Alexandra. In fact, it wasn't until he was fully airborne that he finally realized what had happened. It did so well at surprising him that he lost his usual concentration, causing his force signature to flash, flipping sides for just a moment. Just a moment then Tsolan regained his composure.
As his feet thudded against the ground, his soul was once again covered in its dark cloud, Vulpesen having been once again consumed by the wolf. "Bad move kid." The voice was a growl as the ex-jedi unhooked Tenebri Anime. For some reason it wasn't until now that he realized the little known name of his saber now had a completely different meaning. As a jedi, it had meant tht he accepted his passions yet allowed them to fuel the light, as was the gold and black saber colors he had used. Now, with a blade of blood red it simply meant that his soul was black. Heartless and calculating, the only reason he didn't strike out at [member="Alexandra Cinthra"] was because he knew that had it been a real attack, he'd likely be spasming from lightning. "Alex, duck!" He doubted she would need much command due to the leg sweep, but just in case, it was best she knew that playtime was over and Vulpesen would not give the luxury of sparing any pain.
Lifting his hand, Tsolan concentrated his rage and sorrow into his fingers. He had learned the lightside variant of this ability, now he simple needed the sith side. Of course, such a thing wouldn't be difficult and it wasn't but a moment before black arcs of lightning raced form his fingers, aiming for the chest of the ex-sith. He wouldn't try to kill the ignorant child. Not yet, but he sure as hell would remember this pain for a while. As for the saber headed his way, Tsolan still had one free hand which snapped his saber from his hip, igniting the red blade in front of himself to defend.
