Lolz, unfortunately no. He's got a good mind on him but he has no way to defend it or use it like a Sith XD.
And don't count him out just yet... his mind may be defenseless, but he might do something drastic XD (I give you permission to metagame a few details about his bio if you find them to go all dun moch on his ass if you wish)
"He quickly followed up with a counter, spinning around out of Viole's line of attack and striking with a deceptive underhanded horizontal saber strike, timed as Viole striked away from Grik as he closed a lot of distance while doing so."
Your weapon was on the opposite side of your body. You'd have to dodge or eat the strike. Grik would have had to have been reasonably close to you to strike underhanded.
Btw, I saw your Duel thread in the Jedi OOC. I didn't want to post in there, since my Paddie's far from ready to duel with anyone...but would you mind a duel with Salazar in the near future? It'd be for story purposes more than anything. I foresee both our charries developing quite a bit depending on how their mid-duel conversation goes :P.
