No, he most certainly didn't dream small. Fortunate for the galaxy, perhaps. If he was the type to dream small, none of this would be happening and he probably would have just killed her when she'd met. The dreams of the small. They had their own place in the galaxy, of course. Not everyone could dream big as he did. People with their small dreams would make up the majority of denizens in the galaxy. In all hope, they would get to live out those small dreams provided they weren't horribly outlandish and against the grain of what the government said was allowable. Laws were necessary, regardless of what people wanted.
When she said she was in, he smiled and gave her hand a gentle squeeze before releasing it. Gentle. He was very careful about being gentle this time. Her previous discomfort was not lost on him, after all. Now that he'd found the right Jedi, they need only find the right person who couldn't touch the Force. When they had that person, they could truly begin their grand plan. They also needed other Sith and Jedi to join with them in order for this to work. That was going to take time. Peace wasn't earned in a single day, though.
"No, I don't think a conclave would be in the best interest of anyone, really."
He chuckled a little and released her hand. This was where all the hard work began. It was easy to sit and plot, but difficult to put those plans into action. The hardest part for his goal had always been finding the right person to share it with. Of course he should have just trusted the Force and its judgment, but he admitted there was no small amount of hubris involved in his inability to do that. He wanted to believe that he could do things himself, without the help of the ever present galactic entity. It wasn't wrong to want that; autonomy was a good thing, after all. But he still had to recognize that his plans were there because of what the Force wanted, not merely because of what he wanted.
She pointed out a truth that drew a smile from him.
"I know, but thank you for letting me know you care about my well-being. It means a lot to me. And as for you, the Sith will probably be in the same state. They'll assume you're weakening me. Some will just want to kill you for being a Jedi. It's the same for both of us. We both must be careful now, especially when we speak to others about this.
"Speaking of which, I should let you know that I'll be approaching your leadership soon. It is necessary for what is coming. I wish I had more time to prepare but I don't. Your people's efforts here in the Caldera have not gone unnoticed. Change is coming. I aim to make it less of a blow than it could be, but only if they'll listen to me. So be warned, and be on your guard. Danger looms around you everywhere you go as long as you are within the Caldera. I don't want any harm to befall you."
