Having a calm discussion in person with someone who wasn't Zerg felt strange after so long. Especially without the simmering undercurrent of fear or anger that usually met her from even friendly Terrans or Protoss. His offer of mutual aid was a welcome one, but it still did bring up some questions.
"What aid do you believe I can offer you, Admiral?" If they were familiar with her abilities and position, the offer would be more clear. Thrawn almost certainly knew nothing about her beyond what he'd learned from this meeting and from the small fight she'd had with the pirates.
Kerrigan did move a little closer as they spoke, but remained outside of melee range for even the extended reach of the limbs on her back. Not out of concern for her own safety; the energy weapon shot to the thick carapace on her upper torso had healed completely, leaving only a slight discoloration that could have easily been dirt or a bruise. After months on a deserted planet and a recent melee fight she was hardly clean, with the pirates' blood drying on her long claws, as well as on the lower tips of the limbs on her back.
