Milus watched as Fillipo and Dugal exchanged a few words. He saw Dugal send a blast of soul energy at Fillipo with his sword and witnessed the latter dodge with much ease. It seemed that the two of them were evenly matched. It even seemed that pheraps Dugal was in fact no match for this warrior. However, Milus did not really have any way of knowing that. None beyond the always useful method of observation. Thus, he continued to observe.
However, while he had realized that the room was enveloped in blackened soul energy and did not mind, soon enough he noticed that the bridge itself was being covered with black, eye-spawning soul energy. Obviously, it would not be any helpful to make physical contact with whatever that thing was, or so Milus thought. For this reason he moved away from where the black energy seemed to be crawling, despite it closing in on them rapidly.
He then heard the offer that Fillipo made to Dugal. Obviously, Dugal wasn't really going to surrender, now, was he? Even when he heard Dugal's words, Milus didn't think that Dugal really meant that he was about to surrender. Instead, he thought that Dugal was just trying to get close to Fillipo for a swift kill. However, things could go awry and Dugal might need some assistance, so Milus began concentrating a great ammount of kinetic energy, something Fillipo would not be able to see with his thousand eyes. He knew his orders well, but that didn't matter. Snowflake would probably know if Milus did anything to endanger Dugal, and he did not really want Dugal to die. Not yet, at least. He wondered when he would want such a thing, but shook that thought off and continued concentrating, reaching out with a harmless, nearly undetectable wave of kinetic energy to get a feel of the things around him. He often found that while concentrating, this method was a good one to continue to concentrate and still be prevented from any preemptive attacks.
However, Dugal's sudden motions after kneeling and his subsequent shout at Milus broke his concentration and, opposed to what he would have wanted, which was the cancelation of his power, sent a wave of highly concentrated kinetic energy that would surely harm Dugal. Milus did not want that, and so used the power of his mind to nullify the blast. However, the strain of nullifying such a great blast in such a short ammount of time (Nigh instantly, in fact) caused him to kneel, holding his head with one hand, as he now helpessly watched, unable to assist Dugal anymore. Had he unwillingly accomplished his mission?
