She smiled softer at that, looking down at the hem of her robe, finger picking at it a moment. "I suppose I find it peaceful. A reminder of the past maybe. Not even just a reminder of home, because lately, home has been missing something. It feels like everything got a little more than messed up sine I joined the war."
She reached down to pick up the small bowl of noodles. Were those sticks of wood to eat with? She picked those up as well, looking at them, unsure of them, but still talking. "I was a commander of clone troopers in the war. Hundreds of troopers did what I told them to. It's always felt strange to me in some way that peacekeepers would fight and lead attacks, but I get why as well. Still, being here? It's like dropping back ten years. More innocent times?" She shrugged, and looked up to give him a smile again. "I think I could honestly be comfortable in any part of this place because of it. There are huge stakes here, and yet it feels... nicer."
She shook her head, looking at her food again, then sighed. "And yes, I know you'd help me with my training if I asked, but maybe you could start with... how to eat this with sticks." She asked, holding them together like one would with a fork.
