[center][b][color=7bcdc8]Xeviiy Sinclair[/color][/b] [b][color=f7976a]Coruscant[/color][/b][/center] “I block my own path?” She asked, which if the upper half of her face wasn't covered, would have shown her raising an eyebrow in slight confusion, “I'm not blocking anything, I'm going through my path unhindered.” She added, finding the woman before her more and more confusing as they continued to talk to one another. Xeviiy turned her head slightly to look over at her master before returning her attention to the woman once more, she had no idea what game her master was playing, if it was a game, but she didn't like wasting time on something when she was supposed to be learning. When Xeviiy was addressed again by Arren, she couldn't help but feel a bit defensive, “I'm not afraid to use my lightsaber, I choose not to use it, it's as much a weapon for killing as it is for defending someone, there's always another option to fighting and I opt for that before anything else.” Her tone slightly irritated, but she did her best to keep her temper in line. She continued to listen to the woman speak, finding her words to seem almost like a personal attack, though it most likely wasn't, “I will do everything in my power to protect those that are in danger without resorting to violence, no one will end up dead if I'm the one able to conduct order like a Jedi should.” She retorted back to Arren, her strong beliefs and ideals, whilst noble, were naive and she was still too young to realize that she couldn't stop every negative outcome, the folly of youth as it were. Xeviiy was taken aback when a vision appeared before her, it seeming so real as she glazed over the area, seeing the crops of the farm land and the home that wasn't too far away, soon her gaze fell to the scared wife and child, along with a man being held at gun point. However when she saw the corpse of the young girl, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her as the lifeless child lay there; she was surprised though when the mercenary seemed to be speaking to her, she extended her hand out to the two men, “You don't want to hurt anyone else, you want to drop your weapons and let these people go.” She said, using the force to try and manipulate their minds to influence to do what she wanted, she may not have liked these men, but wasn't about to resort to violence right off the bat. [hr] [center][b][color=7ea7d8]Leon Athos[/color][/b] [b][color=f7976a]Coruscant[/color][/b][/center] Leon remembered when Anna first came to him, telling him how she was his newly assigned subordinate, he found how rigid she could be sometimes to be something amusing, though he respected how hard she worked and wouldn't say anything of the opposite in regards to that. He did however find her constant nagging of him to do his work to be something of a pain, but that wasn't a bad thing to him, she helped keep him up with his work, even if he didn't want to do it, probably one of the reasons why his superiors assigned her to him, but it wasn't in him to be a paper pusher, he had to be out on the front lines, fighting whatever enemy came knocking at their door, that was probably another reason why his promotions slowed down some. As the two of them continued to walk, eventually heading into one of the parks that was nearby, he pulled out a thin metal case that held some cigarettes he occasionally indulged in, pulling one out, placing it between his lips before getting a lighter out and igniting the other end, taking a a fairly large drag from it, then exhaling the smoke. “It's a secret place the higher ups don't know about, can't have my plan to destroy the Republic be found out early.” He lightly chuckled, it being an irony of sorts considering how blindly loyal he was for the Republic and would rather die for it than help in it's destruction. Taking another drag from his cigarette, “As for being dedicated to not doing my job, I'm a fighter Lieutenant, not a pencil pusher, I need to be out in the trenches with the troops, even if I was a General I'd still be how I am now, there's just something about being with your brethren in combat that makes you feel like your full self; you want one?” He added, holding the open container to her. He was glad to have Anna with him, though based on how rigid she was, he was sure that she had seen little or no combat at all and those types of people, whilst good on the orders and documents front, really didn't know what it was like to fight next to someone, to be in a seemingly impossible situation and some how both of you make it out alive, but he didn't hold it against the Lieutenant, he knew she was a good soldier and that she wanted to serve the Republic just like him, so he cut her some slack in that regard.
