He hadn't really been expecting her to be rattled by the news of what had happened with her father, but it was somewhat gratifying to see her react with anger, rather than concern. It reinforced his belief that he had made the right decision in trusting her. The emperor would have thrown her away, based entirely on the sins of her family, but Calen was convinced that was a mistake. She was more than the crimes of her family, and seeing the look of fury in her expression was all the proof of that he needed.<br/><br/>"Based on the size of the fleet that is being deployed, I suspect the emperor's judgement will be swift," he said casually. "But I want us to be at the forefront of that effort. If we are the ones who stop this rebellion before it gets any further, it will reinforce the idea that Lord Fenris made the right decision by allowing me to keep you." Of course, there was also a political element of it for Calen as well. There were likely several sith apprentices looking for the traitor.

I'll make my way to the docking bay." His ship's hyperdrive was much faster than that of the shuttle, and it wouldn't take long for the larger vessel to arrive. Calen was eager to get off the Hydra and return to his home, in part because he was eager to start training Area as to what her new life would involve. Once he closed the channel, he glanced back at her. "Finish packing quickly. I want to be back on my own bridge as soon as possible."
