Why should I tolerate relationship abuse by my colleagues when the goal is to quell the terrorist actions by the Rebels? Am I to be with someone who disrespects me blatantly and brandishes her rank as reason to demean me before my superiors, my colleagues and my subordinates?

No.

It is the reason why I solely choose to remain with my species, Chiss. Our relationships are not pairbonded with emotions like that. We all know our jobs and what we have to do. Emotional expressions is a private matter that adults do.

I enjoy art and its analysis.
