they exhaled, nearly blind gaze catching and holding him, studying and wondering. they had needed a bath, out travelling for many a day to seek a place of solitude for their mind, and they had found such a land. listening to him, they held their tongue, mulling over their answers so they did not speak with aggression first.

their face turned to the moon, enjoying the feeling of the moonlight embracing them, glad to be able to see it's glow on the waters of the river once more. "an enemy is an enemy, even if he sleeps in your bed and calls you by your name in the sweetest of ways. thinking of one and all as an enemy is a horrid way to go about living.", they answer him, growing aware of some amount of loathing that lingered in his voice.

this night would have been good to share with a loved one, brisk but refreshing with a hint of winter deep in the breeze. "idyll is a friend, one i intend to court when I have left the port behind, once I've gained my vengeance on my murdered mate and our daughter. if someone tries to use eclipse against me, he will quickly find out why it is inadvisable to challenge me when my daughter is in the balance. there's a reason behind everything and she is my only surviving child, without a father and hardly a good excuse for a secondary parent. if i can give her a safer place to call home, I will. and if i have to meet anyone in this group in combat to protect her, i will." they speak to kydobi calmly.

"your posture gives away your concerns, kydobi. you may be given a reason to exist again my friend, but what comes after the war? you are not a man to thrive off of the chaos that this world has to offer." they rumble, turning their gaze back to the sky, scars aching alongside their body, fur still wet. they longed for another's presence at their side, feeling driven off by kydobi at any of their advances, left to comfort themself on the loneliest and most empty days, where ghosts played in the field of the pitt's camp, where the deceased flashed past their eyes, beckoning them to follow.
