[No problem]
He gave a nod in respect to the representative, @[member="Mia Monroe"], before sitting down as well, motioning Yusan to sit beside him.
"This isn't our first rodeo, Miss Monroe" he said calmly as he watched her, with a small smile, his eyes meeting hers at all times. "When the Republic needs someone who truly wants peace for the Republic and for the Jedi Order, they sometimes send one of us. And we gladly oblige. We don't just look out for the interests of the Jedi Order, we look out for the interests of all parties involved. We're a good semi-neutral party for negotiations, so this is nothing new to any of us. Not taking away from the Senate of course, they each have their specialties. This is just one of those times"
He smiled faintly. "Normally when I meet a beautiful women it's under a much more peaceful circumstance then something like this, but... I've met people of all shapes and sizes in the heat of battle, so I suppose this isn't too much a surprise. All joking aside, miss Monroe, I agree and wish that this were under more peaceful circumstances. I have known and held respect for the Mandalorians under your keep for a very long time. Some of them, I even consider friends. I was at the wedding of one of them not too long ago, actually, when he got married to a close friend of mine, and I was the best man in a wedding for another of your Mandalorians just a few months ago as well. What I'm getting at here is I've always admired the Mandalorians for their honor, being honorable warriors. What worries me is that in this situation that we saw over on Coruscant... I'm not seeing that honor that I have held so much respect and admiration for since meeting the Mandalorians for the first time. This isn't a crack at you, of course. I appreciate that you had the honor and respect to come and meet us off-planet, calling off your fleets and allowing a negotiation, and it's things like that, that I respect and admire. The whole premise around this though... It speaks volumes. As someone who has friends in the Mandalorians, I really hope you guys aren't going in a direction that takes you away from who you really are"
"But onto business... Peace. Treaties. All that fun business. Really, I wish you guys had just sent a diplomatic ship with a diplomat and all that jazz, talked it out with the Senate or Supreme Chancellor or me or whoever gets sent to do the job... Had a treaty written up and then gone back to Mandalore like it never happened. We're not the Sith Empire. You come with a diplomatic ship and ask about a treaty, we'll listen, we'll talk. We're not heartless. What you did was incredibly unnecessary, but what matters is that we're here now. Let's put this whole warships and fleets thing behind us and get a treaty signed"
"Now... Let me guess, correct me if I'm wrong here... Etti. That mission was definitely not one of my favorites. Actually, if I remember the records, it was actually a Jedi Master that badgered the Republic and Jedi into getting that. Daella Apparine, I believe. Led the mission herself. I was there too actually, to protect the Jedi that had signed up to join Miss Apparine. That... Might actually have to be investigated, because I don't think the Republic, Jedi or Senate knew that it was getting uncomfortably close to your territory. All that we were told was that the Sith were making an effort to rise again, build an empire on a set of planets and strike again, and we had a good chance right there to stamp it out before they got too powerful and caused havoc. But we'll do that on our own time. Point is... Etti. You don't want us to go any farther then that, right? No more territory building past Etti?"
At the answer of @[member="Mia Monroe"], he nodded. "Etti and Korriban, then?"
He looked over at Yusan. "What say you? Where should the Mandalorians limit be, since we wanna talk about limits?"
