It's a good thing, then, that I won't ever have to have that chance.
[ Because there's no way he's going back home. His time with the Empire is done.
He deflates a bit, his shoulders sagging, and shakes his head firmly but slowly. ] I'm not going to come between you and 622. The last thing I want is to ruin his happiness.
This... [ Akobi sighs. ] This all spiraled out of control. But it's like I told your friend, I won't do anything to come between you and 622 if I can help it.

[ It's not, really. Akobi feels as though he's been ganged up on for an inconsequential reason, but he'll make do. ]
I think he understands now that I don't mean any harm to the truce, or your relationship.

... I should probably go talk to 622.
