Ken had hoped for something...better than that. He had abandoned his spare saber as soon as he possibly could. He forced himself to go onto the defensive. A creaky and shaky at best due to his inability to properly compete with an enemy with such a controlled forceful assault. Ken was not a defensive duelist. He wasn't even a duelist at all. His skills, his strengths, and his life revolved around the force. The beauty of it was more than anyone could convey with a saber. Still he had Org to thank for forcing his eyes open to the fact he couldn't let his saber skills go rusty when practicing the force. He...he simply had no choice but to take the blows in a shii-cho oriented defense. He blocked with simple but precise blows his green saber darting like a light in the dark. He felt her emotions, raw and uncontrolled, and he knew this was not the Aria he had expected to see. This girl was not a jedi. Ken felt disgusted that someone with such skill could falter in the face of her emotions like this. Ken was prepared to give one last desperate move in a bid to call upon his deep connection to the force to end this without blood shed. 

However....Aria stopped suddenly which left Ken back pedaling still. He looked at the girl as she shouted out in defiance of something. However despite much the jedi code meant to him, the way in which Aria had conducted herself was not for him to pass judgement on. His job was too help others, fellow jedi included, but a failure of this magnitude was for the master to handle. Ken held his saber in his hand firmly still and looked down in barely held back disgust at the young woman. He didn't say anything but his eyes conveyed everything. The disappointment, the disgusted feelings of a padawan failing her most basic lesson, and his distaste for her giving into her more primal feelings. Ken held steady for a moment ready for anything. But after a moment he walked back over and put the training saber he got away. He looked at Zhar with a look that simply said 'I'm finished here' and without saying one more word he left the training center. Ken wanted nothing more to do with Master Zhar's game. Ken was no pawn for a master to throw at a learner unready for the lessons of a jedi knight. If Ken had his word in he would completely disown Aria as a jedi in any form for it. But that was not the way of the jedi. Peace, collection, serenity. Those were the jedi's prime emotions. Ken would not let his own petty feelings get in the way of his judgement. He needed to either find Master Org, or a quite place to think. The most likely chance was the latter. The force was an ever living entity and it could calm the deepest of strife.
