Eli smiled just slightly as Altair gushed about Thrawn. He couldn't blame the Sith, because Thrawn was certainly worth gushing about. That man was the greatest tactical genius in the entire galaxy, and the best hope for the galaxy. It made Eli miss serving with him, even if he knew that his work in the Ascendancy was important and he didn't intend to let Thrawn down.
It was a bit odd, to see a Sith talk about a non-Force User in such a way, since everything Eli ever heard about the Sith was that they were full of themselves and anyone who didn't have the Force was dirt under their feet. Yet Altair was speaking of Thrawn as if he were the greatest thing since hot chocolate.
"I'd love to tell you about our adventures, and all the things we got into back then," Eli replied. Thrawn was always worth talking about.
"As for me, I'm not much compared to Thrawn, I'm afraid. I'm from a planet out in Wild Space, which doesn't make me popular with the Core World folk. My parents own a shipping company and I was all set to become a supply officer before Thrawn came into my life."
