Talia smiles sheepishly and shakes her head. "While I appreciate the offer, Librarian, my sister knows me better than that." She paused as she went to move away and turned back to the Head Librarian. "Before you get too much further, Airus, I do have a question to pose to you." The young Je'and twin waited until she had her conversational partner's full attention before continuing, slowly working towards a nearby bench and taking a seat as she spoke. "During the Mandalorian Wars, I noticed that the Jedi Council had warned against involving itself within the sphere of the war, saying that it was a path to darkness that would ruin the entire Order. As a result, the Republic was on the verge of defeat when Revan defied the Council and took over leadership of the Republic's forces. His tactics changed the course of the war."

Her brows furrowed as she spoke and she barely acknowledged the exasperated and red clad form of Riven who joined her on the bench, mumbling to herself about no one else even showing up besides Talia. "He broke their push, sent them careening back into the outer rim and then chased them into the Unknown regions of space, into Wild Space. Then next thing we know, he's the Republic's primary foe until the Jedi strike team captures him. I mean...what happened? I've read all the theories and ideas, but...I don't know...the whole 'Sith Emperor brainwashed him' seems too simple."
