Jeremy listened to the Princess. She was quite right in her observations. Intelligence coupled with beauty. There were many that would find her the "Total Package", to borrow the Earth Phrase. "No, there are people with in my race that would do the same, Princess. I just had to sentence over two hundred of my people to their deaths because of it. A sad commentary as it is shown true for all races that we encountered. A mix of Sinners and Saints." Black said. As the Princess spoke, Black stood respectfully silent, listening to her words. "Yes, I Believe I would think the same in your positions, Your Highness." He admitted. At this point, the conversation had seemingly pretty much narrowed to just he Captain and the Princess. "But, Treaties and negotiations are best left to Politicians and diplomats. Those that play with words and enjoy rhetoric. I am but a humble Ship's Captain. My time is full with the duties of my station and the care of my ship and crew." He explained.<br/><br/>The King turned to his Daughter as he felt her squeeze his arm. His eyes were kind towards her. Proud that she was standing toe to toe with the Alien Captain. Though he didn't say anything out right. he expressed his pride and love to his daughter by returning the slight squeeze of her hand. Jeremy knew their planet couldn't handle an invasion from space. While they were fairly ahead, what he saw of their defense systems showed they would have fared slightly less than his people when the Gamilons showed up. When she accused him a simply walking away, that pricked Jeremy. If anyone could say that Captain Black was guilty of anything, it was caring. Probably too much. He let out a defeated sigh. "No Your Highness. I can't, in good conscience, simply "Walk away" and leave your people defenseless." He said finally.
