“ perhaps. ” a grin tugs her lips skyward— she’s caught.found guilty without question. “ it would appear the muja fruit doesn’t fall too far from the tree. ”
Speaking HONESTLY is difficult for her– after living so many years lying just to meet her ends, honesty has become a foreign concept. Asajj’s RELUCTANCE to be truthful shows itself in the lines of her face. “There’s nothing more that you can do for me.”
the struggle etched into her features is what gives her the COURAGEto lay a cool hand upon her arm. she has never been one to place judgement upon others for differences or mistakes. “ don’t— don’t give up hope. we always have a choice. tell me what is troubling you. ”

“ looks of mine? i’m certain i don’t know what you’re implying. ”

COMPASSION outlines wide eyes. she longs to reach out to the other, to offer an anchor in a raging sea, but worries it would only serve to push her further away. “ nothing is decided. talk to me— let me help you. ”
