It's only the levity of the conversation as a whole that keeps her from apologizing. While the life he describes is one that she would never understand, she knows it is the way of Jedi and she has taken him from it. Some of it will continue as expected, but so much of his life will be different from now on - he'll forever be tied to her career and where that takes her. This arrangement is meant to be until one of them passes, but-- Well, it's not unheard of for divorce to happen in these marriages, should circumstances change. She makes a mental note to discuss that with him later, to make certain that he understands that despite the agreement the Council made for him, she would never hold him if he wanted to go.

She cares far too much about him to ever do that.

Watching him for a moment, taking in the way he looks out at the water, she does assume that his thoughts have strayed. "I think I'll leave you for now and unpack my things," she announces easily, turning back to the glass doors. "And it will be dinnertime soon -- do you have any special requests?"
