Ā Ā Ā There was a small innate joy that overcame the Sithling when he saw the light confusion that twisted the admiralās features if only for a millisecond. Unseen brows raise once again with amusement before he settled.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā "There are certain expectations upon me when greeting an honoured guest. I can tell you in earnest I have no way of knowing how my Master had acquired materials for me to study your language, but one does not look a gift horse in the mouth, as it were. Iām unsure if it was a cruel joke to force me to learn humility in speaking anotherās language or to simply encourage manners. Regardless of that answer, I understand how privileged I am to have you here.ā It was not often he removed the metaphorical mask, being honest and open with someone else, much less a stranger. Hux barely got a serious response to anything and heād known the man for years. Knowing that this man, Admiral Thrawn, had known his grandfather, however, had made his demeanor change entirely. While not entirely amicable and friendly, Ben became much more careful and particular with his words and actions.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā "Powerful indeed..ā Musing over the statement, he felt a vibration deep in his palms, almost like that of an itch. āHe left many great plans in the Imperial archives that we were able to recover. A way to finish what he started.ā
Ā Ā Ā The itching in his palm grew stronger, fingers flexing into a fist to try and sate the feeling. āYou knew him well, I assume? Were you an advisoryĀ for him?ā
Thrawn was curious as to how this Master of the man before him- Kylo Ren- had gained access to his peopleās language and customs. Had perhaps Grand Admiral Sloane and Mitthāailāinrokini given him access? Or had Sloane, taught by Vanto, passed this knowledge to her ward, Armitage, who then shared the basics with the higher ups of the First Order? It was something heād have to look into.Ā
āIt is appreciated to have customs honoured,ā he settled on saying. He would voice his concerns with General Hux later- if not Sloane herself.Ā
He could sense the excitement in Ren, see his stance shift with an unspoken eagerness, his fingers flexing to control the outward emotions in his body language. He could also see the glow of his body heat intensify in his face, a flush of excitement, a hunger for knowledge.Ā
āI met him shortly after I was rewarded with the title of Grand Admiral- right after I accepted the rank, in fact. I was more an adviser for the Emperor regarding the Unknown Regions, but there were tasks that Lord Vader required my assistance for, and I did make a few recommendations for him,ā Thrawn replied.Ā āHe was a warrior, there was no doubt of that. Strong convictions, and great power and confidence.ā
Thrawn left out short-tempered, capricious, and vengeful. He also left out the fact that he had originally met him when he was Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, during the Clone Wars. He had the feeling this Kylo Ren would not appreciate such opinions or facts.Ā
