She took a few sips of water, which made the inside of her mouth instantly less sticky.
“I love the chocolate and appreciate your kindness,” she said and Seto must have sensed a ‘but’ coming. “But I wear my robe so that I am warm; I carry my lightsaber so that I am safe; and I keep enough credits for my next meal, so that I am not hungry. I do not need – and therefore desire – anything more. These robes serve me well – for practical is what I require. That does not mean every Jedi should wear these kind – but I know what I am happy with, and I am currently wearing them.”
“I hope I have not offended you.”
