[i]He has a point. You wouldn't kill him... not if he were at your mercy,[/i] I thought. [i]Though of course this could all be part of a plan...[/i] Though I had to admit that thus far I'd seen little evidence that he was someone who planned very far ahead. He had gotten caught by poachers after all. Surrendering control feeling good? Unlikely. But to each his own, I supposed.

"I see your point. I suppose it couldn't hurt... I certainly wouldn't feel [i]less[/i] comfortable. I'll be done soon," I added. This was going quicker than I'd thought.

I didn't try about his past. I wasn't sure I was ready to feel pity for him. I certainly needed none of his for myself. Though if this is what had led him to the Dark Side... did that mean he could be redeemed? He certainly didn't seem to be the evil servant of the Empire I'd anticipated. He was nothing like what my Master had told me about.

I certainly hadn't expected a servant of darkness to start purring like a house cat. A small laugh escaped me as the image of this giant cat-man lying on his back begging for a belly rub like some kind of giant house cat jumped to mind.
