[And that was part of why Eli was willing to forgive anything, part of being by Thrawn's side was to guide him morally, the other was to accept the shortcomings. Still, he'd never felt Thrawn like this: bereft, as if he was but another stranger under Thrawn's command. After ten years or so, it hurt. Eli hadn't realised just how deeply and genuinely he felt about Thrawn.
He doesn't want to deal with it nor does he want it.]
Good, at least there is that he did for you. Thrawn and I were military, we could never be family, just maybe co-workers. I thought we were more. Anyway, that was my mistake not his.
People like Elias and Thrawn, they don't mean harm. It seems like it can't be helped due to who they are and we can't change that.
