"I'm happy to tell you anything you'd like to know. I'm a tinkerer and gadgeteer. If my destiny were slightly different, I'd be a mechanic and happily play with building, tweeting, and repairing engines and weapons. But the force is with me, as, indeed, I sense, it is with you." He pauses briefly to gauge reactions unsure, himself, whether to trust people simply because they have Sabres.
In the end, he realizes he has no choice. The force has guided him here and he will continue to trust in it and, therefore, in these beings. "I'm no Jedi, but it is in me, I believe, and it is my ambition. When I saw you under duress I was honour bound to help."
With a hesitantbut poignant look toward Heyop he adds without a trace of humour, "I've never cut off anyone's anything "to make a point". I am aware of the bounties on Jedi and if I ever collect one or even contemplate it I will have fallen far enough for you to be able to know it without me having to say so."
