"Yes; she hurt him." Simple confirmation; Reshad holds Sasha's gaze, not least because her training demands it. History alone would illuminate the surface of the wound, and seeing Jedao's reaction to it plumbs some of the depth. And - she cannot help but see that Sasha projects something of herself into the situation. More than something.
"You are correct that I intend to comfort. I can only hope that he did not hear what you did, but rather that the rebellion is not the Heptarchate."
"I will ask you more about your binding when we debrief. Such ties should be well understood by those who need to work with them, and I am not convinced he knows Naxorian culture." She meets protectiveness with protectiveness: Jedao is not a thing, not a toy, nobody's possession. "Shall we?" A graceful gesture, toward the Cantata's conference room.
"And after, I will inquire, and see whether I've done more harm than good."
