The castle hadn't even finished shaking before I was moving, my lightsaber flashing back into it's hidden compartment as I rushed through the castle, fanning my jetpack to get over the crowds that were gathering. {Becca, get Korre to the fallback position. I have no doubt in my mind that explosion was his doing.}

"Which is why it's all the more important that you keep a level head, especially around Gendry. Based on his reaction to seeing you, he has no idea he's a clone, anymore than we did before Naberrie found you in that lab. So take that, and if the two of you ever fight, use that. Play him like a fiddle." I hand the blade back to Iwan. "Better?"

I catch the blade midspin and spin my own blade several times before disarming him, using the Force to catch the hilt as it flies through the air and catch it in my hand. "No, because I'm afraid of what Gendry will do to you if he gets to you! Anger, that's his trick to beating his opponents. Getting inside their heads."

I don't follow up, but I do circle around him carefully. "No matter how much you hate that clone, you have to keep your cool, Iwan."

I catch his blade and deflect it with a flick of my wrist before slamming my fist forwards, enhancing my strength with the Force. While the blow wouldn't cause serious harm, it would hopefully serve as a wake up if it connects with his chest.

Before he can finish his study, I lance forwards, a thrust leading my charge. However, before he can parry it, I arrest my momentum and spin, instead aiming a kick at his gut.

I adopt a ready stance, my saber in front of me. "Don't worry about Organa's soldiers, because this isn't about them. You and me."

"And I told you that we aren't able to handle him on our terms here in Castle Organa. If they'd been caught outside the base, Organa wouldn't question what we do with him, but this isn't our base. Unless all hell breaks loose, Iwan, we. Play. NICE." The last three words were firm and harsh. "You lash out at him, you give him an out, a way to get free and get to Korre. You want that on your conscious?"

I let the last sentence ring for a moment before I drop one of my hilt's free from it's hidden compartment, the orange blade springing to life. "Saber out, now."

Once they were out of the room, I turn back to Armond. "I need to speak with Iwan. By your leave, Lord Organa." Bowing before I go, I head after Iwan, who is waiting exactly where I told him to go. "What happened?"

"Not even the Mando'ade would grant a man such as Gendry a trial, Lord Organa, and they are nothing if not honorable." I stop next to Iwan, who's fuming visibly. "You, training field. NOW." Approaching Lord Organa, I speak so that only he and the guards near us can hear. "This is a man who's favorite thing to do is play on an opponent's honor and traditions, use them as weapons to break them down and kill them. I know that I ultimately can't stop you or sway your decision, but I also don't want to see you die because of him. Consider that before fighting him yourself."
