"Oh, I wouldn't have drawn my blade on her. I would have tossed it in her face and bolted the other way."
Hardly the rational response, but it had happened before. Multiple times, even.
As for Thrawn apparently speaking very highly of him, he couldn't help but blush and turn his head to the side to look somewhere else entirely.
"... Hopefully you'll give me a few less heart attacks than he has."
Of course, those heart attacks hadn't always been connected to danger, but that had also happened. Altair figured that at least with Eli, he'd sense it the second he was in distress, the second there was a shift in emotion. With Thrawn, some of the panic had been because he couldn't put a finger on what emotion had broken through the calm and orderly mind Thrawn had. He knew it was bad, but not how bad.
