Kresst let out a long breath, silently wishing that Mevenn had not returned to her old self [i]quite[/i] so quickly. Still, he kept his emotions in-check, even if that meant behaving more like his fellow Jedi back at the Temple than he cared for. Contrary to Mevenn's perception of him, he did not enjoy their often restrictive, close-minded attitudes any more than she did. However, this situation, he felt, was one that demanded clear minds and level-headed thinking. 

Kresst's even tone reflected the state of mind he was attempting to employ. "I am a historian, a scholar. One learns eventually not to make assumptions on what they do not know. There is wisdom in recognizing the limits of your knowledge or ability. If your assumptions are correct and this war is over...then we are in no hurry, are we? Perhaps I am wrong, but we stand to gain much and lose little by taking the cautious approach and ensuring we fully understand the situation before going anywhere potentially...dangerous."
