She didn't quite know why, but her heart was beating faster. With her heartbeat accelerating, it someone also felt as though she was getting somewhat nervous. Was that because she had posed a question she herself couldn't answer at all?
Even though their talk had been peaceful and somehow even insightful, she was still on edge. She had been involved in a fight, possibly about life and death, but as he began to answer, his reply soothed her at least a little bit. This talk was calm and their words were both placed carefully, yet despite all peaceful reflectiveness, their exchange was intense.
Some did occur....they always did in war. She had seen the broadcast of this pink jerk...Cassian or something and it had felt terrible. Bombing an academy was horrible and she condemned his actions severely. Was that why their invasion was justified then though? No, not at all. Especially not because it had taken even more innocent lives.
"I appreciate your words" she softly began, even though she wasn't yet sure whether he belived him, regardless of how honest it sounded, but her mistrust ran deep, "and you have fought...honorably as well. Neither defeating nor possibly killing you would have brought me any joy though". Well, perhaps she had felt the slightest hint of pride, but she had immediately regretted hurting him. That had been exactly why she was even stupid enough to take him with her, to pick up the pieces she had shattered.
Even though her past had repeatedly taught her otherwise, the Jedi had helped her to regain faith. She was finally believing that there was always a hint of goodness in people. And that was why she was filled with a warmth as he had mentioned that he would have spared her life as well.
It hadn't been hard to tell that he was conflicted too, yet it felt oddly refreshing that she was right. He, too, was a decent person, perhaps standing on the wrong side though. She still smiled, her vibrant green eyes lingering on the blue eyes blonde that was just as lost in thoughts as she was.
Once he went on, however, it was as if the blood was freezing in her veins. She hadn't actually made up her mind about those things and she had literally no idea how this was supposed to continue. It seemed like they could still talk for hours and maybe either of them would then find some clarity, yet they were still not exactly trusting of one another.
She was pretty sure that if she would reach for her lightsaber, he would gather the last remaining bits of his strength to fight her, even if he would definitely lose again. She left his question unanswered for now, as the only thing she did know was that she wouldn't harm him unless he gave her another reason.
"I...would very much appreciate that" she replied, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear before she curiosity won once again. "Have you ever killed a Jedi?". The question was hard and she wasn't sure whether she would enjoy his honest answer, yet she didn't shy away to ask it.
