It was unforgivable, and the both of them knew it. No matter what apologies had been put forth profusely by the Jedi, none of this would be smoothed over by the capture and execution of the culprit alone. There was no doubt that would help ease the consciences of everyone, but it wouldn't repair the rift that had been summarily torn between the Silver Jedi and the rest of the galaxy. It would be awhile before public opinion would change, but as always everyone would come around. The galaxy would be long in forgetting just who was responsible for the civilian deaths on Korriban, but in the face of greater evils they would all learn to trust the Silver Jedi again. Inevitably individuals came around, and this would be no different.
But this wasn't that very likely future. No, this was the present, and in the moment none of that mattered to her. What did was setting the story straight, and right now that meant convening with the only one among the Silvers - and perhaps the Jedi as a whole - that she could call friend. The message dictating the time and place of meeting had been short and to the point, and based on both the scanners of her ship and her ethereal senses he was awaiting her arrival. It was like him to be early, and Keira hadn't expected anything less. That didn't mean, however, that she would rush herself to meet him. As always she would do things her own way at her own pace, inconveniencing herself for no one.
When the ship settled she stood before the entrance for a few moments, sighing quietly and hitting the button to lower the ramp, descending at an even pace. Her dress was casual unlike their numerous other meetings, both lightsabers on one hip and her tomahawk on the other, Kalso's Revenge holstered on her left. That was all she had bothered with, not wanting to manifest herself as an inherent threat, but neither as one willing to concede to what had happened. In all of this she was a neutral party as far as galactic politics went, but on a personal level this concerned her just as much as it did the Silvers. These were the individuals she had accredited her redemption to, but in that perhaps she had been wrong.
There was no real animosity in her eyes when he came into sight, and everything about her form was for the most part relaxed once they stood across from each other. "I don't even know what to say." Her tone still held an air of disbelief, but there was a certainty behind it that was undeniable. "You know what all of this looks like to the rest of the galaxy. What it looks like to me and my people." Whether she liked it or not, she was here as a representative of the Crusaders just as much as she was an old friend. "I saw the broadcast your Grandmaster put out, and quite frankly it seems like you're making excuses. You and yours might not have given the order, and you can pity the dead and ask for forgiveness all you wish, but that doesn't mend this. The dead can't hear your cries for forgiveness, nor would they care. It's time you all come to terms with what's happened as being the ones solely responsible."
