Hearing Thrass speaking in basic was interesting. Though it was still new to him, he was obviously a quick study, able to keep up with their conversation, and even speak it a little himself. Altair thought he could hear something of a teasing tone in there, but he couldn't be sure if that was just a quirk of the unfamiliar language making him sound different, or if it was actually there.

"I would not follow him had I not thought him to be an ideal leader. He is wise, willing to listen to the input of others, and yet has a clear voice when decisions are to be made. A balance of both the grace and confidence needed to lead well. Had I thought him lacking, I would not bow my head to him, nor allow him to command me."

Altair had certainly come to admire Thrawn. He respected him. And ever so slowly, they'd become friends too.
