“But...the masters have said that it leads to the darkside.” She answered back, feeling the turmoil in her more as the event progressed further. She didn't know that emotions could be fine for the moment, but to have them consume you is what truly lead to the darkside and turn someone into a dark Jedi; she took a small step back when at first her attack seemed to have no affect on him, only then to notice him grimace when he slowly got to his feet.

However when he tossed his blaster away and then spoke to them, she could tell he was more serious now than before, time seemed to slow down to her as she tried to think of what to do next, she could use the force again, but he was still able to get up from the last one. She could perhaps try leading the man away from the family, but he'd most likely just use them as collateral anyway to get to her and even then probably still kill them. Xeviiy was broken out of her planning thoughts when the mercenary was now in front of her, a slash coming down at her, if the rest of her face could be seen, her eyes would look shot open. 

Without thinking she drew her hilt to her hand, igniting the blade and bracing it over her head, the vibroblade clashing against her lightsaber, the small sound of her blade crackling as it blocked his attack, her face showing grimace both in the vision as well as outside of it. She knew how dangerous those types of weapons were, in some ways, they were more dangerous than a lightsaber, depending on the user; with a good push she shoved him and his blade away, just to get some breathing room, then glancing over her shoulder at the family she said, “You best run and find a safe place to hide, I won't let him hurt you.”

Returning her attention to the man, she saw that she was going to have to fight, there was no way around it, and if it meant doing something she disdained, she would do so in order to protect those that couldn't protect themselves. “You're not going to harm anyone else, I won't let it happen.” She spoke to the man, more confident now than before and soon went into her Soresu form, readying herself for the man. She was willing to fight now, that was good, but the more important question not even she asked herself yet, was she ready to kill if need be?

Leon gave a small smile when Anna started to apologize to him, “Don't worry about it Lieutenant, I didn't take it personally, to be honest you're the only one working with me I actually like, not just because of how diligent you are in your work, but because you're not afraid to speak your mind, even at your commanding officer, whilst this isn't always a thing others should follow, at least to the higher ups, I believe it's something the Republic needs.” He responded back to her, seeing how they both had made some pretty biased assumptions about how the other worked and who's line of work was more important.

“As for that drink, perhaps next time, got some business to handle at the Jedi Temple, just a few documents that the Republic wants signed, you know how they are with this blasted paperwork, you can head back to the office building if you want, no need to feel like you have to babysit me, I should be back hopefully before dusk and get the rest of that paper work done that's no doubt surely doubled since we left.” He smiled to her, continuing towards the Jedi Temple, he wouldn't force her to go with him, but he wasn't opposed to it either.

One thing that was surely on his mind however would how he would be greeted at his arrival, sure he didn't leave in a malicious manner, but it had been nearly two decades since he had trained there, probably hardly any of his old friends were still there, no doubt they were on other planets, being what he unfortunately felt he couldn't, but he wouldn't let that be on his thoughts all day, the Republic gave him a home and until circumstances otherwise changed, that's what he would keep his attention on, nothing worse than a distracted soldier.
