"I force no government Spencer, I am a servant of the people nothing more...nothing less. The Republic is simply the easiest vehicle to help keep peace in the galaxy because Democracy allows one simple thing: Choice. I don't serve Aurellia, I serve the office of the Chancellor and the institution that is the Senate. Am I naïve enough to believe that it is perfect, of course not. I will not sit here and say I have all the answers Padawan because I sadly don't, I'm merely doing the best I can to save you from your own irresponsibility."
Darron let a sigh escape his lips as he put his face in his hands, she was trying his patience but something told him to press further. The way she spoke, her tone and body language showed she wasn't comfortable being put on the spot like this. It seemed she had done everything within her power to avoid such a talk, and maybe some form of catharsis could be had from airing the dirty laundry? "So it seems we are at an impasse, you won't let her go, and if I order you to you will simply rebel or leave. My intent is to save you from yourself and from Republic justice. You will make an amazing Jedi one day, but it seems this lesson is one that you have to learn on your own young one, and I intend to let you do just that."
Every muscle relaxed in his frame as he motioned for Spencer to follow him back to the window as he continued.
"Can I tell you something about experience? It is earned, and I'm glad you were open and honest with me. You will receive no punishment, and I will shelve what I saw. You will also be allowed to stay in this Order as long as you agree to a few things Padawan. I don't want to lose you, nor do I want you to think I am a hardliner. My job is to save all innocent life, whether it be a farm hand outside this temple, or you. I am trying to keep you firmly in the light because you have much potential, and I would die for you to save you...please know that." His hard expression broke as he let the tension leave the room, a sad smile crossed his lips as he put his gloved prosthetic hand on her shoulder. Not speaking until she looked into his calm eyes.
"You can continue to see Ashin, but please know you risk much not just for yourself but for the Order you serve. Perception is everything, and none of us know who is right in this situation. I know Ashin very well myself, and I know there is good in her that she isn't allowed to access, due to the Sith poisons. So you can see her, but you will not aide her anymore do you understand? You see injustice, you report to me and the Order and Republic will get on it so you can act and respond as a Jedi. Secondly, you will start to receive formal training from any Master of your choosing, even myself should you choose on your battle meditation. Third, these talks will continue, and you will learn that you can talk to Darron Wraith I promise I am here to help."
A second ticked by as he paused before finishing.
"Lastly, when you see Ashin, you will report back to me what is said. You will be put with Republic Intelligence from now on and you will be our eyes and ears in to the Sith Empire, do this and you will be allowed to stay in the Order. Do you find my terms agreeable?"
