Thessa nearly smirked as she saw the queen blush, though it was so subtle and so quick that most wouldn't have caught it. As she nodded to her master though, she slowly powered down her saber and followed the Jedi to the transport where the situation exploded. Frowning only slightly, she quietly assessed the situation as she listened. It was a very particular way of thinking, but Thessa saw the word more in variables than others, and some of the Jedi said that was a good thing - said it was easier for her to find serenity within the Jedi code. She wasn't entirely convinced of it, but it still allowed her to see in a different light than others.

When Koda finally put his foot down and left the decision to the Jedi and queen, she felt the urge to speak up, which was unusual for her (at least from Honutu's time with her). [color=ff489b][b]"May I?"[/b][/color] she said quickly, stepping forward to take the floor. [color=ff489b][b]"This is quite obviously a trap and.. the Sith is likely to kill them men, regardless of honor or any sort of deal. In.. such a case, our priority should be the queen, however heroics would call us to action and not stand by while your men are in danger - however again, sometimes it is wise to step away. No one can be a hero if they are also dead. We are outnumbered and we sacrificed so much to get her majesty only this far.."[/b][/color] She paused, feeling all the eyes on her. She was confident in her thoughts, but was unsure how it would be taken, still she pressed on. [color=ff489b][b]"Let us not waste time, lest their sacrifice be in vain.. those are my thoughts."[/b][/color] Stepping back once more, she folded her hands quietly. Again, she hadn't normally been one to speak out and returned to her normal position as the quiet observer.
