The hint of...something pushing at him, registered to his senses and had blue-eyes snapping up. Hard, will and determination there, a brief moment of suspicion and it was gone. "We're trying. I refuse to let it happen to anyone else, if I can." Definitely diamond hard willpower there, borne of pain.

Another breath though, eyes closing again and he's consciously relaxing. Letting go of the fork, letting his hand relax under hers and accepting the comfort, even if it's unusual. "But...you know now."

Another breath, audibly in and out. "And if we're going to work together, it's better you know, Ahsoka."
