Lucian said nothing before watching the recording and he said nothing as the recording played out.
He didn't know anyone in the recording personally so it didn't really matter to him when they died. He felt nothing, watching them all die until it came to the last person. When the last person died, he found himself caring a little bit more. Still not because the Jedi died - because all life ended and the passing of a person to become one with the Force was not a sad occasion - but because of how it resonated with both Aliyah and Kathry.
While he didn't know anyone in the recording, he knew them both at least a little bit and he was here now to feel their pain in the force. He reached out and gently took one hand of each of them and gave it a gentle squeeze before releasing them. Instead, he turned off the holoprojector before it could replay.
Leaving the room in silence.
"Venatus Phoenix died at the hands of multiple Sith warriors." he declared at length, picking up the holoprojector before putting it away on his belt again, "He died with blade in hand but he died none the less."
There he paused for a moment before speaking again.
"I don't know any of the people who died in the clip. I didn't know them before and I don't know them now." he continued before ending his thoughts, "But I know that all of them... are now part of me, you and everyone else. Because the ones we care about never truly leave us. They live on in the memories and the emotions they stir within the two of you... and they exist in the Force that flows through you every second of every day."
