A better understanding always benefits any relationship.

[flawless_precision]

[She looks at him, expression carefully neutral.]

An understanding of what, precisely? Is this some Resistance tactic to generate a sympathetic bond?

[beardstrokes]

Do you think it is?

It's more than I know very little. Seeking knowledge is normal for both sides.

[flawless_precision]

I'm not convinced otherwise.

Seeking knowledge in an attempt to compromise the other side. [Is she projecting? She might be projecting. Because why else would you seek information than to use it against your enemy?]

[beardstrokes]

Yes, but unless you feel the knowledge of your origins can compromise you, and against I don't see how, you don't have to answer?

[flawless_precision]

[Again, he's immediately met with calculated silence. It's not a compromising answer, but what else would he ask?]

Selected. For my capabilities, and my loyalty. [Said almost as a challenge.]

[beardstrokes]

I see.

[ That'll do for now. ]

[flawless_precision]

[She narrows her eyes at him, wondering what the underlying thought was here, but then finishes up her drink and stands to leave.]

Then we are over for now. I hope we do not have reason to meet in the future.

[beardstrokes]

That is a hope I can get behind.

[flawless_precision]

[A pause, a nod, and then she holds her hand out so they can shake on it.]

[beardstrokes]

[ Oh. That he was not expecting, but he shakes it cordially ]

[flawless_precision]

[Might as well. It was a fruitful conversation, overall, and she wanted some quantifiable acknowledgement of the arrangement. We shook on it might not be as binding as, say, a written signed contract, but it was better than nothing.]

[And after that, she simply leaves without a word, her cloak curling about her]
