[He's not entirely on the up-and-up with the whole Death Star thing.]
You truly admired him.
[Understatement.]
no subject
[Even more than the Emperor. He wanted to to be close to Palpatine as well but no one could replace Galen.]
There is no one else like him, Qui-Gon. I hope he is at peace but every day I wait for him here, if just to hear his voice again one more time, to see him lost in his own world.
no subject
[Despite keeping his identity hidden from the Imperial, Qui-Gon couldn't help but try and impart some Jedi inspired wisdom.]
In my experience, committing oneself to chasing a memory has had adverse consequence.
It's all right to miss your companion, but don't let it consume you.
no subject
[He felt that tear at him- he knew that he couldn't wallow forever but he still clung to every bit of Galen that he could, every memory.
He looked at Qui-Gon, his expression showing the grief he carried with him every day.]
Have you lost anyone, Qui-Gon? Someone who you cannot remember what your life was like before them?
no subject
[There were many, and a couple of deaths in particular weighed heavy on his heart, but his answer remained resolute.]
I've lost people dear to me, but to honor them, I do not obsess over them.
It can feel like a betrayal to their memory, but I've come to realize the true betrayal is to allow their memory to rule over everything I do. None of them would want that for me.
no subject
[He paused, having to close his eyes for a moment as he tried to block out that memory.]
How long did it take until you didn't feel as if you were betraying them? That you could start to let go? Because it's been months and the pain is still there.
no subject
Some recover after only days, others recover after months. What is important, however, is that progress is made during that time.
[He arches his eyebrow at Krennic before continuing.]
And that effort is made to ensure said progress happens.
no subject
[He finally let go of Qui-Gon as they reached his house. He felt strangely at peace for the moment and for a moment he could start to see it may be possible to start to accept that Galen was dead and gone. He knew he had to start to let go.]
I will consider this. Thank you, Qui-Gon, I appreciate it. Would you like a glass of wine? It's the least I could do.
no subject
[Qui-Gon steps away and gives Krennic some space, not to the point where it's offensive, but tastefully straddling the line between respectful and clear.]
I have people waiting for me at home--a child included. It would be irresponsible to be away too long.
no subject
[He stepped away towards the door before turning to Qui-Gon.]
Another time then, I insist.
no subject
[He smiles easily, not bothering to correct Krennic's interpretation of his exact relation to Lune. It's tough to explain the habitants of the Jedi House without going into the whole Force-sensitive thing.]
[That being said, he'd have to explain quite a couple of 'kids' should Krennic ever pop up out of the blue.]
Until then.
no subject
[He returned the smile, he appreciated Qui-Gon's company for the short period and he made a note to find the other man some time to repay him with a bottle of nice wine or something.
He watched Qui-Gon leave for a moment before going into his house to look for his pillow.]
