"I am already teaching my own warden it, but he tends to be the exception that proves the rule. If you can swear you will not bring harm to the Chiss, I will gladly teach you Tactica."
"I don't want to make a promise like that unless I can be absolutely sure I will keep it. I don't want to go to war, ever again. But I might. And I'm going to a version of your world, when I leave here. Are the Chiss ever aggressors, in your time?"
"My best friend from my old universe is...what you would call a droid. There are a lot of worlds where machines can't be alive at all. And Edwin can take different shapes there, and just be considered some other species, not a monster. The same for me, if I don't hide the ways I'm not human. And Edwin and I are both copies, and the clones understand what that means, and what it doesn't. And nobody will care that I mostly fuck men, and we can have a garden and a tea shop with sunshine and real dirt, not just ships and stations, but...if we need to get away from Jedao Garach for a little while, we can just take off to another planet. And I did promise one of Fives' sons that I'd come visit, once."
These are all true facts, and Thrawn cannot argue them.
However..
"If what Fives tells me of his version of our galaxy is true, then there is a larger threat than the Empire lurking at the edges of our collective territory. You may swiftly find yourself in the middle of another war."

"For awhile, at least. He's married to...my father, sort of. And it's a good world for me and mine."
