The fire flickers to life again at his fingertips, spreading quickly up his arms in a burst of near blue. It's hot enough that she can feel the heat of it from how close they're standing, even if it doesn't come close enough to catching her.

"You don't get to put that on me when I have given my entire life to fighting the Empire, the people who took everything from me. I am not responsible for your losses."
