[So close to her symbiote then, she understands his intent without being aware of it -- almost as if he had simply told her that it wasn't all that bad. That Darth Vader had a legacy to be proud of, that his power and methods were necessary. She'd heard that so many times from him, and she had believed him.
Some piece of her still believes him, and still wants to believe in the idea of Anakin Skywalker, even after the Dark Side. But nothing Kylo Ren will tell her about the Empire will bring her comfort, not after hearing what Mara Jade had to say. She could never find relief in the knowledge that her master had escaped death in the form of becoming a terrorist. What brings him joy will only bring her sorrow.
But--everything had been an exercise in pursuing the truth of things. Maybe this was where she should start, in order to become more balanced herself. To fix what she was slowly destroying in the wake of loss.
The moment of hesitation hardens her before she moves to join him as asked. Expectant, she holds her hand out to him and glances upward. Regardless of his intentions, it was about time that she shared what she had kept so closely guarded -- why the Jedi Order had become so distrusting of her.
And why news of Anakin's descent so badly wounded her.]
Allow me, first.
[It was the closest thing to an apology that he would get from her.]
