Aether wasn't really good at jokes, but even she knew that Merak wasn't being completely serious...

... right?

[color=cyan]"I'm not fearful. I'm simply a little annoyed."[/color] Aether reminded him adamantly. [color=cyan]"Also, while I do believe that certain machines can display emotion-like responses, I do not believe this one to be such a machine. Therefore it's hard to imagine such a contraption could, in fact, display or sense emotion. Emotions have a deep connection with the Force; machines do not."[/color] Always willing to argue over her point of view. While she was certainly accepting of others viewing the world differently, her deeply spiritual sense made her voice her own opinion often, especially when not asked for. It also made her statement about 'not being fearful' seem a little less trustworthy. 

Aether listened attentively as Alessia explained the situation, and felt somewhat reserved about destroying something in which she could gain so much knowledge from. Then again, that was part of their secondary objective, and Aether knew their enemies would also learn their ways if the temple were to remain standing. Ether sighed. [color=cyan]"It is a shame that such a sacred place is to be destroyed, however hopefully we can preserve the knowledge it contains, if nothing else. I assume Captain Craske has the knowledge to pull off such a large-scale demolition?"[/color] Quizzed Aether once more. She had joined Craske on missions before, though since Aether wasn't appointed missions as much as her comrades, it meant they didn't know one-another an awful lot. Even so she knew he was quite capable, and felt confident of their success with him on their side. He had proved himself to her, so she trusted him. 

[color=cyan][i]'Let us hope everything goes to plan. Valkaina could do with the knowledge of this temple.'[/i][/color] The Mirialan thought with a furrowed brow, something which she often did when thinking. Her mind went back to her master's words about knowledge once more, and she found herself silently wishing she could further her own and Valkaina's knowledge of the Jedi way. While she knew her master had distaste for the Jedi Code, he admitted there was much to be learned from them, more than she could learn from her comrades in Valkaina. She would trust the knowledge of the temple before that of her comrades.
