Oh. That was curious. For him to have found out afterwards? But Nyx was right about something else, there was little point debating it, their views weren’t exactly conflicting as much, Leia didn’t resent his opinion, but she felt - well to know one’s world had ended might make them behave differently. “Likely not-” There was a nod, a respectful sort of manner that she supposed they both had to accept the other
“Who says you can’t do both?” Acceptance and misery? Most of what she was saying now, tended toward snarky comments, rather than how she really felt or thought. No, she dismissed that with a wave of her hand, she still had a distant smirk of sorts, seemingly comfortable talking about such things. “Accepting circumstances- doesn’t just do away with grief Nyx, and I think that’s part of coming here. For some- maybe not everyone.” Leia decided, not really a bold statement, but one that she felt somewhat alone in feeling here, and she wouldn’t be told she was ‘wrong’ for feeling it. Not just for losing Luke, but for the future she had hoped for. “Losing things- people, has never stopped me. But like I said it’s different here- no one’s ever really gone.” It made the natural process of coming to a realisation that someone was gone forever, and all you could do was look ahead, well it wasn’t the same.
His genuine laugh brought a soft laugh of her own, and a smile too. “Well, I had the opportunity to get closer to Obi-Wan, he’d been a close friend of my father’s- but I’d never had the chance to meet him- even though he’s gone, I certainly don’t regret that opportunity. That’s something that wouldn’t have ..ever gotten to do, without this place.” She smiled more genuinely at the thought. “Luke- well, time getting to know him without a war going on.” Something that would never be guaranteed to her back home, either. “Galen- ” Is. Was? Really Leia wasn’t exactly certain she’d be welcome in his presence again. “Well, he’s someone I never expected to get to know, but glad that I did.” And despite the fact it was now on unsteady ground - she felt fortunate for how much he’d let her in. She took another drink.
Again, they’d come to a point where she didn’t know if she agreed or not. That it was better to have loved and lost, all that cliche nonsense. Leia, had a long time ago decided she wouldn’t engage in any relationship until the war was done, and peace was restored after Kier’s death. Han had ultimately ruined that notion entirely - and though memories hurt still, even months later, she wouldn’t give that up either. So ..maybe she did agree? “Yes. I do have the people around me to thank for a lot. I'm glad to have known them, even if they aren't here.”
