Has anyone been able to balance both successfully? [While Rogue always hoped that those in their sorts of lifestyles could have more than the constant battles and the ups and downs that come along with them.] Ah've found it a difficult challenge mahself.

[Her emotions and attachments to people she cares about has definitely gotten her in a few sticky situations and more trouble than she'd care to admit, but it's also brought her the brightness of joy and happiness, spots sprinkled amidst the constant cycle of incidents and craziness. She knows it's no easy decision that Obi-Wan has made.]

Ah think it's normal to wonder 'bout the path not taken, an' what we could have done differently...

[Rogue trails off at the mention of his loss, and she doesn't have to imagine his grief, having experienced it too many times to count.]

The someone killed her, not you. [Her voice is firm, a tinge of anger that he's blaming himself gritted into the tone, but it quiets as she continues, still firm while deeply empathetic.]

If she cared for you, that means you brought joy to her life. An' ah know ah wouldn't've traded that for the world. Better to have loved an' lost, than to never have loved.
