Me? I don't know if there's much I can talk about.
[Despite saying that, Cal did have a diverse life. He's just not entirely aware of it.]
I could tell you about the time Darth Vader stabbed me with my own lightsaber. Or the time an ancient civilization told me they were leaving the galaxy. I could also tell you about how I made friends with a nightsister.
I know that face. And that tone. Our pilot, Greeze, did the same but she's a good person. I'd have died multiple times without her and without her abilities, I'd have never made it to the Inquisitor's headquarters undetected.
[ so very quick indeed. kanan swallows his comments, remembers not everyone from that clan is maul, and sighs. ]
I was possessed by their spirits once, so you'll have to... accept my concerns. [ not forgive, he isn't sorry! ] As long as you're careful with who you trust. You can never be too sure of their motives.
We had our fair share of fighting beforehand so it's not like I blindly threw around my trust. She had her reasons to not like Jedi. Her motives though? Probably to see the galaxy. If you've ever been to Dathomir, it's not exactly a pleasant place to look at.
[ he takes pause at that, but not because of the request. it surprises him how much courtesy cal is extending here to a clan of dark side users. hm. ]
Alright. [ he finally agrees after a moment, only faintly hesitant. ] If you put your trust in her, then I'll put mine with you.
[ she may not even come here, but in the event he does... he's getting more and more unnerved by the pockets of darkness that exist in this land. they can't spread. ]
...I hope we can both find some peace here, even as we have to make it ourselves.
After the purges, a Jedi Master went to Dathomir. He used her clan in terrible ways. ...he was pretty strong too along with being entirely insane. It took both me and her to take him down.
[ intolerance status: witches: cool clones: fuck them ]
One of the old masters? [ oof, that's... hard to hear. he knew the order was an interesting and enigmatic bunch, but he would never think of one of them would snap. ] What was he even doing on Dathomir? The nightsisters were decimated by the Separatists long before the purges.
Feels like a lot of good people lost their way after the Clone Wars. People you never even thought would. [ anakin, but he doesn't want to believe it. ] You did the right thing putting a stop to him. That sort of power isn't for us to grasp, or to abuse to hurt others.
Yeah, you could say that. Cere, my mentor, was definitely scarred by it. She constantly fights against her anger to keep from falling. You can tell it takes a toll on her.
[And he doesn't blame her but certainly wants to and is helping.]
Definitely. It's still cool to see in action though. Merrin, she made our ship invisible so the Imperials couldn't see it, both on their sensors and by eye.
[ he sympathsizes with that anger, even if he never felt it. the clone wars, the purges, they didn't leave him angry. just... broken, hollowed out, for years. he thinks he'd still be that way if not for hera.
speaking of-- ]
Pft. So what? The captain of my crew could do that with her ship with some upgrades she installed. She could even disguise its signature to read as other types of imperial ships to get past their detection and infiltrate.
[ if they're going to be stanning their waifus, kanan is ready with the receipts. ]
Any decent pilot can outfly the Imps without trying. Anyway, we're talking about a Fortress World here. They don't just let you in because the scanners say it's fine and good.
Besides, if we're talking about flying, I'd put my money on Greeze anyday.
I knew what you meant but the crazy thing is that even though you're entirely wrong, you completely believe you're right. Because you have an unquestioning for love this Hera person. I'm willing to put credits on that.

As a friend, do me a favor. If somehow, someway, Merrin shows up here, try not to treat her badly. She's already been abused by Jedi before.

You can tell how easy it would be to abuse that relationship.

It was a good conversation. You feeling any better?

There's still a lot to unpack but you've helped clear my mind. At least for tonight. So thank you for that.
