Kal stood up, trying to show confidence, this stranger was FAST. He would do his best to represent the Sethi.
He had seen that Jorran opened his side a little while attacking. If he could parry his blow he might be able to land a good counteratack. As he ignited his blade, Kal cleared his mind of anxiety. Standing up in a defensive position, his blade low, waiting for the attack.

"Be sure to use the non-lethal setting on your blades." Arais reminded Kal and Jorran. Not that he had to, at any rate. The crystals used in their lightsabers by default produced a blade that temporarily disrupted the target's nervous system, rendering them numb, but still conscious. That is, unless a blow landed on the spine or head. In that case, unconsciousness was the usual result. To actually harm each other, they would have to consciously alter the flow of the force through their blades and make them lethal.
"Fight to the best of your abilities." That said, Arais took at seat next to Miera and waited for them to begin.
ooc - Initiative :
Jorran - 18
Kal - 11

Aasan will watch them quietly for a few moments before giving the whole village a good look over. Or at least, as best he can while staying where they currently stand. He'll keep his mouth shut, though, and do his best not to comment on the flashy displays that these Force-Users seem to be so fond of.

Jorran's blade came straight at Kal. In his haste to try and counter attack the thrust, Kal almost caught it full in the chest. Kal reflexively dodged to the side, the end of Jorran's blade barely missing his torso. So close! If the thrust had been just a tad slower, Kal knew he could have turned it to his advantage.
Kal looses 14 vitality points = 15(29)
ooc - please note whether your attacks are 1 or two handed for purposes of damage calculation.

Kia watches the more even fight with greater interest then the uneven one, this was something where she could actually compete, and competition was something that had been a constant in her life on Corellia, everyone trying to show everyone else up, it was second nature to her. "I guess these blades are different somehow, otherwise you wouldn't be turning them loose on each other. Once they are done...can I try, I'm not great with the saber...yet, and practicing without the threat of mass mayhem is pretty tempting, if Kal and Jorran are up for it, I mean." she says, excitedly to Miera.

Kal's dodge of Jorran's thrust put him less than a meter from his opponent, close enough that he could easily reach out and touch him. Kal took a step back, using that slight momentum to aid a swing at chest level towards Jorran. Jorran saw it coming, and leaned backwards, pulling his blade back from the thrust, holding the hilt at head level with the blade vertical protecting his torso in time to block Kal's attack.
Miera looked at Kia, somewhat surprised. "Kia, if your blade is that of one of the old Jedi and you are not skilled in its use, then you would likely end up killing one of them or yourself. Our lightsabers...Sethi lightsabers, are constructed with crystals unique to this world. They cannot be wielded by one who is not balanced and properly trained in the Force. At the same time, the blade they produce subdues rather than slays its target, unless we specifically desire otherwise." She hesitates for a moment. "We could train you to use your blade without imperiling yourself, but anything beyond that and you would have to be one of our order."
Arais nods. "Once Kal and Jorran finish sparring, Miera will give you a few pointers. However, learning to use a lightsaber is no simple task. Doing so requires devotion, discipline, and concentration. If you really want to learn to use one, we can show you how, but know that it will take time."
