Jacen managed a small smile at that. "We've long disagreed on motivations. I'm not sure when it changed, maybe after my time on Yuuz...on Courscant. Or those five years. And whatever I've learned since being here I'm still not going to agree with you on how you view the Force. Its too stagnant. It's too fixed. We are responsible for our actions, we're not pushed to be what we are. I made my choices. All of them. And for good or ill it lead things down a safer path than the one we were on. But Allana is safe so...what I did. I did it for her. But I think you knew that didn't you"
Jacen knew Allana would make him proud back home. She made him proud here. But it did sting that he wouldn't be around to see her grow into the Queen she would one day become..
As for how he was here. "Better. A great deal better. Not dead of course which helps. Anakin is here, alive and thriving. I have Tenel Ka, she stands by me even after everything. Allana is here and she's happy and free from responsibility, they both are, and Jaina...well, things aren't as I'd like them to be there. I'm worried about her if I'm honest but she refuses to listen. Tells me I'm trying to control everything and I'm not, I'm truly not. I've been careful here. I don't lead, I don't tell them when they're wrong because I know that part of me still exists. I know how easily I could be that person again and I don't want that. I have too much to lose."
