[It was easy to slip away from Lily on Nar Shadda, and even easier to find herself a ride to Korriban. Her nerves while approaching the planet she knew Draco was on were the hard part, at least until after she landed

[The sound of fighting down a corridor draws Draco's attention. Planning to avoid it, he peeks around the corner. The sight of bald heads only serve to justify his decision and he takes another moment to make sure neither of the things have spotted him, and to laugh at the poor sod caught fighting them.

He stops when he catches the sight of blonde hair (which is ridiculous because blondes are dime a dozen at the Academy) and his gut twists sickeningly. Claire.

He turns away, listening to the fight and willing himself to just continue down the corridor. No one would know. He doesn't need to get involved in this-

With a hiss, his lightsaber flares on. Wordlessly he throws himself at one of the bald creatures (whatever they are, they're not human) using the Force to push the other off Claire.]

[What in the -?

She pauses only for a moment, to see who had interrupted her attempts to be strong and useful. She sees the mask and offers a critical stare, but the Gentlemen charging forward for another round of attacks cuts the moment short.

She opens her mouth to call out to him, but realizes that inside here, her voice is gone. That's...pretty freaky. She's going to blame it on these guys. She's thinking that removing their heads is the best way to go, just like with her, and steps into a series of motions that ends up with her pressed up against a wall. Furious for looking weak in front of a Sith, she just taps right into that anger and uses the Force to shove the creature away from her. Unfortunately for her, the blast was a little stronger than she expected, and the wall behind her ends up cracking as well.

She glances up at it before moving back into the fight, once again attempting to get in a good enough swipe to cut off its head. ]

[He loses his balance as Claire throw the other monster across the room, causing him to miss. Frowning he twists the blade and turns it to stab the bald thing through the chest (like he stabbed Hatter, and like the Sith stabbed him that night all those months ago-)

The momentary pause gives the creature time to reach up and claw at Draco's mask. He flinches away, but not before he pain bursts across his forehead. He kicks the body off his lightsaber (how did he miss the scalpel it was holding?) and sweeps the blade around to catch it in the neck. The creature staggers back a few steps and falls over.]
