"My attention is the last thing you should be concerning yourself with, champion," she said, her brown eyes far more easily withstanding his intense heated gaze.
"Let's get one thing straight here and now, Bettencourt..."
Amalia swiftly moved to clear the rest of whatever distance was left between her and Jensen. Her face came just inches from his.
"You're right, you don't know me. You don't know anything about me," she said, a smug look settling onto her lips. Rage seeped into her voice as she continued to speak.
"So don't you

Her brown eyes never came to flinch away from him, her rage suddenly coming to be replaced with sadness.
"I bet you don't have any idea of what it's like to feel alone. To have those closest to you just drift away. To have those you love, cherish and value, be around you, yet at the same time be so far away."
The Jedi's eyes stung with tears, but they never fell.
"Maybe I'm not alone... but I feel that way inside," she said softly.
She looked away.
"I'm lost and I'm confused, and I don't know who to turn to. I don't know who I'm supposed to trust..."
Slowly her gaze returned to him.
"... But that doesn't mean that I don't want to try. I already have, with my friends, and my family, but I can't make them understand anymore than I can you..."
She didn't tell him he was right, she didn't have to.
"... Just say that you won't push back.."
She waited for some type of response, but it never came.
".. His name is Zeta.. and he wanted Leia Organa Solo."
