He was a little un-nerved as she approached him. But, then she began to talk to him and her imposing manner seemed to slip away. "Yes, we do have different opinions, there's my opinion, and your, wrong, opinion... I suppose, from a certain point of view, they're opinions. If we only ever did evil, then we would just be an evil version of you. Who wants to be that? People choose not to be Jedi, because they choose to have everything the Jedi have and more."

He felt her try to crawl into his thoughts, but the only thing she would see were sights of Podracing. As she mentioned his troubled past, he simply gave her a look to ask if she was even trying. He thought back over his life and he couldn't remember a time when he wasn't happy with his life choices... Ok, a few times on his trial across Endor and he slightly regretted never knowing his REAL parents, but, his adoptive mother had always been in his life, Darth Traal had always treated him fairly and he was now the apprentice of the leader of his sect of Force Users. He was effectively their second in command... Ok, that wasn't true, but he was still respected as having earned the respect of Traal. He then snapped back to reality. "Ok, lady, you are just making things up now, because, in all honesty, I can't remember a time when I wasn't happy. You know, that emotion that you guys aren't allowed to feel, because it leads to the Dark Side." he said. "Then again, I assume that "troubled" means that I wasn't just emotionless and stoic my entire life and was allowed to have fun."

And as wise as she was to be on the council, she was still a Jedi and as such, not that much of an interogator when she couldn't simply rip the information she wanted from him. Her mistake being to threaten him with severing his connection to the force before walking away. After she left, he looked at the other two Jedi. "Alright, tip for when you interrogate a prisoner. 1) never go in with the worst punishment first, then you have no-where to escalate to. 2) Never make a threat that the prisoner knows you won't go through with. We both know that the technique to do such a thing to someone else has been lost for over 3000 years and even before then was reserved for the most severe of cases. The only way to do it now is to consciously do it to yourself. The only way the Jedi Council could do that is if they molecularly bonded a Ysalamiri to my back. And anyway, apart from Grand-Theft Auto and three accounts of assaulting a Police Officer, I have committed no crime that you can pin on me." he said. "We both know that that is a hefty fine or a short stint in jail, at most. And we all know that the courts will side with me when I tell them that you tried to perform an illegal search without cause." he confidently stated. "What... I'm educated. It's not a crime to claim to be a Sith." he replied.
