Naturally such an act of charity would be foreign to the Ex Sith. Kae'Leigh understood why he was apprehensive to taking her crystal. One, it would be a source of Light and good constantly around him that he could not hope to avoid. But second, after she'd just told him how significant that gem was to her she was offering it away? Was she mad? Clearly she was. But Kae'Leigh knew this was the right thing to do. He needed it more than she did right now. And in her heart, she knew it was the right thing to do. In no way would it change her pledge to her future daughter; that hope was still very much in her heart.
But when he finally took the crystal he'd feel the connection right away. The Light was a blessing. It really was. This gem held more Light in it than Kae'Leigh did it seemed. It was raw and pure goodness. If that was the right word. How such a gem was found on Ilum was a mystery. Maybe through Kae'Leigh's efforts she'd purified it even further? Only the Force would know. But as Hask held that crystal he'd feel at peace. A wave of calm and purpose would hit him. It was the purpose that Kae'Leigh used to devote herself to the Jedi way; it would be the same purpose that would drive Hask to search out his heart.
Maybe it was that sense of hope that made him have a change of heart and decide to offer her a gift as well. He pulled out his second saber, holding the weapon for her to take. Hask would ask her to take the blade, as he had no words to give her instead. The crystal -he added- had been found on Ilum much like her own. And unlike some crystals which were synthesized by the Sith, this one was pure. Kae'Leigh didn't really know what all that meant honestly, but the thought he was giving her a weapon to fight for her daughter was something special indeed.
Taking the saber in her hand was a new vow to herself, to Hask, and to her daughter. While the design was Sith-made, she didn't really need to use it as her main blade. She had come to Jedha to find crystals, and she would still do that (now with the added addition of another one for her main saber). This blade she would use only in emergencies, but had ideas to craft it into her pole-arm saber she'd been tossing around in her head. Using Hask's crystal in the weapon would give it a new strength to fight with and a stronger connection to the Force. It would be weird using a red beam, but maybe she'd find one here to match it.
Hask was then about to walk off when he instead turned and brought her into a hug. She was surprised at first, but wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly to her. He whispered a thanks to her, and she'd hum happily to the sound. "You are welcome, Hask Jen. Let my Light be a beacon for you to find your way."
He pulled back then and started to turn around once more and with a smile asked if they should keep moving. She nodded and returned her empty saber to her belt. His was...a little heavier. It still fit to her belt just fine but it added a weird weight to that side of her hips that she would have to get used to if she was going to lug it around in battle. She caught up to him shortly and dared herself to take his good hand while they walked. The ceiling of stars led them further down until the lights got brighter and the crystals larger in size. Not but a few minutes later and they'd come to their first real gem sticking out of the ground.
The green crystal looked like a tiny flower growing out of the dirt, but both Force users new it was something else. Kae'Leigh crouched next to it and gave Hask a smile before plucking it from the earth. "This one was almost begging to be found. I think that means it wants to come with us, no? Firen will love this."
Putting the gem in one of her pouches she bit her lip in excitement and then turned back to the way they were going. More and more gems could be seen along the path and not but a dozen yards further would they see an opening to a larger cavern that was chock full of them. They would quite literally be able to take their pick of gems. As the Jedi walked into it she gasped in awe. The beauty was astounding. Blue crystals met with green ones and lined the walls and ceilings with a light unlike anything she'd ever seen. Even on Ilum she hadn't gotten a change to see a real cache. This was....perfect.
