For a moment Xen stops, thinking about his point of view before she eventually nods.
His cough did not escape her attention but she decides to not address it and perhaps make him uncomfortable.
"Maybe? Maybe not? ...You come from one of the worlds the Republic punished particularly hard, correct?"
Noticing her covering her saber, Grievous chuckled, resulting in a sharp cough.
"Perhaps not every problem, but there would be a lot less poverty and inequality if the selfish and greedy were to meet a blade. Disease is trickier......"
General Grievous
Discreetly covering her own lightsaber Xen hesitantly nods. She would lie if she stated that this was a comfortable meeting; the General's reputation far proceeded him.
"...Because I doubt a lightsaber can solve *every* problem. How would you tackle disease, poverty or inequality with a blade?"
"A lightsaber will fix the problem quickly and efficiently. Why wait?"
General Grievous
"In my experience, the more emotional, the more likely the obstacles will make mistakes and remove themself from the equation.
Just wait and see; no involvement needed."
