"Ever and always the truth: Breaking things is easy. Fixing them is hard." She sighs. "... If you want my opinion on war-- those are the big takeaways."
"It would be... ridiculous of me to demand someone else not fight. I'm here, a weapon in others' hands, to keep others from becoming as I am." Her hands ball into fists. "If... Gaurus truly is as his reputation says, he saw that cliff, and gleefully jumped it, taking great pride that not only are his tortures a joy to him, but also support the Empire... And shoved others over it. No. No."
Her hands shake a little, the utensils in them starting to rime over, and she breathes, and there is ice. "... I am sorry. You did not want my opinion. You wanted advice."
