"Yeah, I saw how nervous you were around Ar'alani, and Thrawn confirmed that's just how you are around other Chiss."
It was so odd to him, since the Chiss treasured their Force sensitives, for they were how they got around the galaxy, lacking the sophisticated nav-computers in this part of the galaxy. If the Ascendancy knew about Altair, he'd likely become their most closely guarded secret, and seen as a possible key to having more adult sky-walkers, so they didn't have to recruit children.
The fact that Altair was a man, and not a little girl, was odd in and of itself, since the gift wasn't seen very often in boys to begin with. That Altair was a fully-fledged Sith, with most of the powers that game with it, was like discovering the rarest, most precious gemstone in the galaxy.
"That he does. Even before he was a Grand Admiral, he knew how to inspire loyalty. The time serving with him really was some of the best years of my life. Even if I didn't really feel so at first."
It had taken Eli some time to really appreciate what Thrawn had done for him.
