''Manda?'' she asked

"The collective soul of my people joined after we die. Well, as long as Six Actions have been followed throughout life."

''Ah, I don't know much about mandalorian beliefs. The first one I worked with believed in the bottle more then anything else''

"It's a problem." He admitted. "After Malachor our culture hasn't been in the best shape. Many who have the descent and the trappings don't live the life, and turn out dar'manda, soulless. Verd ori'shya beskar'gam. The warrior is more than his armour."

''Malachor V more precisely, I suppose?'' I studied about that battle

"Yes, Ani'la Akaan, the Jedi crime brought upon my people." He said flatly.

She gave him a flat stare

''Yes, of couse a Jedi crime...''

"A bad name for a genocidal gravity well and the theft of the most sacred artifact of our culture?" He asked dispassionately.

She began packing her things

''It was a tragedy, that is sure.'' She looked at the Mandalorian in the eyes ''But crying foul for a genocide is hypocritical after the actual genocide the Cathari people suffered and the nuclear destruction of Serroco...especially since it is false.''

She made a sign to R-5 with her cybernetic arm

''The difference is that all the mandalorians who died at Malachor V were warriors part of an army ready to kill while your people drowned infants and murdered civilians with atomic fire.''

"That difference you spell out is in the eyes of the beholder. Everyone who starts a family is a warrior charged with defending it. Whoever ignores likelihood of violence invites doom upon them." He mused. "A crime for a crime then. A Jedi crime to end Mandalorian crimes. You can see it like that and feel good about it if this is how your morality works. Just don't assume people who died in tens of thousands on Malachor didn't have families to mourn them, or that their families saw the theft of the mask of Mandalore the Ultimate as anything else than an inexcusable transgression. Our people had been scattered and divided in large part because of Revan and the Jedi Order. I am not really recriminating, just stating a fact."

''No it is not. You are just playing word games to excuse the actions of your people and play the victim.''

She checked her stuff one last time

''Were the Ultimate's neo-crusaders the only ones who have families? Were families on their mind when they killed indiscriminately? Of course not.''

She began walking away

''She you around, Raider''

"Sorry you got incensed. At least you can trust me to tell you what I think?" He mused. "My point was there's no good and bad violence, killing is just that, Jedi no more legitimate than Mandalorian. But I get why this might be hard for you to agree on."

He got his gatling back.

"Thanks for all the help. Do something nice for the evening, and don't mind me, kid."

''I am not incensed, Mister Raider, I just cannot be sastified until the clocks are set straight''

"I don't know what you mean by that." He looked at her in bewilderment.

She let out a sigh

''That is not important''

"If so, I won't intrude on whatever you're now up to. See you around."

Odd adjusted his stuff and left, not really getting the Togruta's final mood.
