"Admit it, Solo. You've fallen head over heels. A blind Jawa with a cane can see."

Jaina has different possibilities. One is outright denial (her mother taught her not to lie), one faking ignorance. And she can simply walk away but somehow all of it feels wrong. Childish. With a pang Jaina realizes why: she has nothing to hide.

Her love for Jag is not a weakness.

"I have, Zekk," she tells her friend, but her tone is loving.
