"Perfectly fine? Why did you come here in the first place? And what, pray tell, what you been doing for food?" He brings his arms up to cross over his chest, spreading his fingers as he does so. Good thing he taught Tobias rudimentary Mandalorian hand-signals?

Tobias follows the signal, rounding about to the right to try to get in behind Kale, since the next signal he'll be getting is to wallop his padawan on the head to try to knock him out.

When will Revan get it through his head that Kale remembers what he does, and thus knows the hand signals too? Though unseen, he shifts to grasp his lightsabers and at the second hand single he'll try and slice whoever is behind him in two.

Revan's rather unsure just how much Kale got from him. "You never did answer my questions, boy," he murmurs, giving Kale's mind one or two experimental (and very obvious) prods. Give him something to focus on.

"It's safe here," Kale says, his voice edgy because he can't sense where Tobias is... or if there really is a Tobias and Revan isn't just crazy.

At the prods, he snarls, lightsaber flicking on as he attacks Revan, "Stay out of my head!"

Revan flinches back, the lightsaber grazing his forearm. He pulls his short lightsaber and blazes to life in orange to deflect the blade. "Not until I rip those stolen memories from your head!"

Well, screw the signals apparently. Tobias darts forward and smashes the handle of his vibroblade into Kale's temple.

Oh, that doesn't go well at all. He lashed out with his 'saber and the Force with a cry of "Don't TOUCH me!" before staggering forward.

Heck, that didn't work. He curses under his breath and clamps an arm around Kale's neck to put him in a sleeper hold; they need him unconcious so he'll at least stop swinging.

Revan slams up barriers in his mind, jumping back. He lets out a yelp when he fails to block and the blade skims along his torso. "I do not need your permission to help you, Kale Delvar!"

Kale screams. Which causes Trever to start screaming. It's not a scream of pain so much as just get away from me. As he's still attached to Trever, he's able to draw on his twin's power as well as his own, which allows him, in a very desperate measure to try and blow the room apart with a very strong "Force shove".

"Kriffing-!" Revan manages to put of a shield around himself before anything gets broken (in his body, at least; he likely can't say that much for the bed or nightstand).
He... is actually starting to get a little tired of this. "Tobias, should I remove Trever from the room while you do your thing?"

Unluckily, the shove tossed Tobias off. Luckily, his bum leg broke his fall. Unluckily, he distinctly heard something snap in it. Luckily, he can't feel any extra pain in it.
Still, he looks at Revan like he's insane. "You can't possibly be considering that, Rev."

Trever notices the Force shove, even if he still can't see Kale. However, he didn't get his shields up in time and got himself smashed silly against the door.

Revan shoots a look at Tobias before barrelling toward the exit. He scoops up Trever on his way out. "Have fun, you two," he proclaims, shutting and locking the door back before heading for the lift. He doesn't want either of them anywhere near Tobias right now.

Trever would be protesting, but he's kinda dazed.

Kale is surprised at the sudden departure, but he figures that there is someone here, from his recent choking experience and from what Revan said.

"What... what are you going to do to me?"

"You bastard!" Tobias shouts futilely at the door as he carefully gets to his feet - or foot, rather; his bad leg really can't support him right now.

He limps his way to in front of Kale, carefully sliding his hand down the other man's arm to hold his palm out, and trace letters with his own fingers. I-M-S-O-R-R-Y.

"Sorry?" he stammers out. His head turns around trying to find away out, trying to find the person. Kale makes a run for the door. He's not going to stick around to see what sorry is all about.

Revan likely had the foresight to change the code to unlock the door, unfortunately.

"I hope you don't turn out like I did. I hope your Sith don't try to use you," he says, even if Kale can't hear him. Tobias follows, and takes hold of Kale's upper arm long enough to brush a kiss on his cheek. "I hope someday you'll forgive me." He lets out a breath, and with it comes agony and the sensation of hundreds of thousands dying - not a short and sudden feeling like Alderaan, but long and drawn-out - and with all of that is hate and rage, terror and fear. The sounds of screams from thousands of throats and from hundreds of species slams in like a tidal wave.
Seeing the last battle of the Mandalorian Wars through the eyes of the Exile, it's plain to see how comforting the silence that comes after severing yourself completely from the Force can be.

Kale crumbles, clinging to Tobias like a life line as he tries to get away from the screaming rage and terror flooding through his mind. Trying to find himself a safe way out. He doesn't scream, he just pulls himself inward with a whimpering.

Outside, however, Trever breaks free from Revan and goes running back, screaming his twin's name.

Revan is a good deal faster than the twin's mentor and bounds after Trever, grabbing his arm in a grip like a vice. "Go in there and it will swallow you too," he growls, "and that kind of pain is not something everyone can survive."

Tobias holds onto Kale, nestling his head against his shoulder and murmuring apologies in every language he knows. He's never done this before to others; Kreia did it, but he could feel the effects of it on the three gathered masters - on his old master Kavar. Which is probably why he's also praying in every language he knows.

"But he needs me!" Trever shrieks, clawing at the grip. He's been reduced to a state of utter blind panic, unable to think except for his desire and need to get to Kale. "He's hurt! He's hurt! He needs me!"

He then falls to his knees, curling up, muttering over and over and over again, "Don't leave me, please don't leave me."

Kale, clinging to Tobias mutters the same thing, at the same time, in the same voice. Though neither Revan or Tobias would know that.

"If you go in there, both of you will be hurt, and then what, huh?" Revan lets go to let Trever go to the floor, wearily shielding both of them, though he can dimmly feel the echo thrumming through the gaping hole that had been his bond with Tobias long ago.

"Finish it," he mumbles under his breath, gazing at the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I wish I didn't have to, I wish I didn't do it, I'm sorry."

The pain and the feeling ebbs out, a wave petering out on the shore, and Tobias feels it receed to the same echo and stillness he's lived with for years.
