Another Sith landed behind the infantile Sith Lord and suddenly things were getting so much dicier - namely because there was now lava involved, because of course there was. They WERE on Sullust after all. Someone, at some point, was going to use the lava against them - The Eternal kind of already had. Thankfully it split down the middle and half of it attacked the Sith Lord.
Neat - backstabbing mid-battle seemed rather Sith-like he would be honest.
Dodging to the left, he avoiding the worst of the lava that had been aimed at him and Hans both, waving his left hand as he did so to Push some of the heavier chunks away from himself. Hans could, and would, take care of himself. With the lava taken care of, he grinned at the greeting from the Sith Lord and felt it when she reached out with the Force to ensnare his neck.
Using the Force himself, he wrapped it around his own neck underneath her own control before rapidly expanding it outward to burst her noose-like grip on his neck, using his own Force to break the cohesion of her attack. It would be helped mightily by the fact that it was all he was focusing on and she was currently splitting her focus.
He also doubted he was the one she was focusing the most on - unless she took issue with polite greetings? Speaking of which...
"Your Shadows do good work Hans!"
Either way, he would move up closer to the Sith Lord instead of hanging back. Distraction was the name of the day after all and it was more distracting to be upfront. Assuming the same defensive stance he started his cautious approach against the Sith Lord, the Force ready to answer his commands.
