Another dollop of cream takes her tea from a smokey chestnut color to something more closer matching the soft brown hue of Eli's complexion. This was nice, she thought. A chance to just sit and talk with little to worry about. Chise looked down at her tea again, then back at Eli.

"I suppose I- hmm?"

The way Eli was looking at her slammed the breaks on her train of thought. For a Moment, she thought she did something wrong.

"Elias is not the only one who wants you now."

Chise blinked while the rest of her froze solid save for the stuttering feeling in her heart. She thought of Kanan, and all the others here who had greeted her. Spoken with her. Included her.

Now that Eli was saying as much, she was starting to believe that.

"That's kind of you," She replied almost reluctantly before going back to her tea. "I didn't mean to alarm you, really. If anything I think being here is stalling things."

Chancing a smile, she says, "Thrawn is lucky to have a friend like you."
