Varyn listened to her answer and smirked slightly as she mentioned obstacles. It was the easy thing to say to yourself, but the reality was that when one used a weapon, those "obstacles" were people.
You need to be honest with yourself. You can call them obstacles if you want, but when you raise that weapon and bring it down on someone, you're taking a sentient life, he said. It was something that was hard for many to digest, and while he had faith that most Sith had come to terms with it, she had walked a very different path for a time.
Is that something you're prepared to do? To take the life of an innocent to save the Empire? he asked. Though he hadn't told her, he knew more about her from their meeting on Rattatak than it appeared. He knew that she historically would have hesitated or outright refused. He knew that he would have in the past as well.
Sometimes sacrifices have to be made. And they're difficult sacrifices, he said.
