Alexandra would be rather silent, listening as Noah introduced her to Valery, the eyes of the woman seeming be exploring every inch of the Jedi Grand Master but not making it clear what she was looking for. Eventually her smile shift, one that showed a bit more of a relaxed manner to her thoughts while Noah took her hand and beckoned for Val to follow. Alexandra still seemed to move with some caution, and if Valery reached out she would notice that there was an area deeper into the estate where she could not sense. Alexandra had ensured that the estate's collection of Ysalamiri were in place, cutting off any access to the very garden and the tree within, not yet trusting Val to be allowed to connect with the creation and thing that Alexandra had nurtured for close to sixty years now.
Along with other things Alexandra had no interest in Val meeting quite yet, being a bit more protective of Yasha and keeping Jedi away from her than Noah might even be at times considering how distrustful Alexandra could be.
Either way as they reached the small dining room, Alexandra would smile to Noah and nod, letting him go and get the drinks while she made herself comfortable, the process a little slower thanks to the tail she had to account for but not overly awkward. Instead Valery would find Alexandra's eyes back on her again, this time though Alexandra didn't seem to be looking
at her and instead was looking past her her and above her, studying something that wasn't there.
"I must apologize, I am quite curious." She finally said, letting her eyes return to
Valery Noble
's own eyes. The eyes Valery would see would be ones that almost looked like a predator searching for prey, not quite threatening but definitely searching for something.
"Its been a while since I have gotten to meet Jedi, the last ones I remember well being the Heavenshields. They were a good family... Kei Amadis was also such, and of course Dragonflame, Sochi, Romi, and so many others. Alot of names and faces I remember quite well, both fighting in the early days when I had served under Darth Carnifex, and later when I ran my temple and fought for the Republic. Even during the times I fought for the Mandalorians I got to see just what so many were capable of and I needed to know what I was looking at with you today." Alexandra was never the most... polite or diplomatic with her words, no that was Noah's job. Alexandra was an assassin, a mercenary, a warrior, and only in the later of part of her life a more reclusive sage type.
Even then, she had taken every chance she could to find the next fight.
"Noah has mentioned your family before. It is good to hear that the Jedi haven't become dogmatic over the last years and cut off relationships again. I must know though, is your Order committed to extinguishing evil in all it's forms? Removing from the Galaxy any sign of darkness?" She leaned forward, clasping her hands together in her lap, staring into Valery's eyes and waiting for the answer.
