Galen remained silent for a while, taking in all of what Mara said. He glanced at her finally, his eyes seekig out an honest opinion. "Do you...I know you are married to Luke but...do you think it safe for Force users to have a relationship with someone?" If this was how he was to react...wouldn't it be better if he stopped seeing Gaia? Kriff, could he now? Given how he was coming to crave their time together, the pleasure she let loose in him...
Hearing her words at helping him battle the Dark side, he gave a faint smile. "I don't think I could do it alone if I tried Mara. Not at the moment anyway. It's still strong and there..." He had no idea if he'd even be able to resist trying to take Anakin Skywalker's head be he from before his fall or his time as Vader. As Mara explained her views on handling loss, he listened aptly and gave a nod.
"I'm afraid of losing her...she's one of the few people not from our reality that I've opened up to and she's become a very close friend. She looks at me like a person, like you and Luke and the few others have done." He brought his hands up to his mouth as he sat. "And she's been helping me too. On how to act socially with others even if it is a few centuries out of date." It was clear from the way he spoke he cared greatly for Gaia.
