[Luke doesn't bristle, he doesn't react at all really. He just replies in a flat voice.]

Have you never dealt with oppressive governments then? Some men are mad for power, or just want to hurt people. And in my world, sometimes those people find themselves in positions of power, or with similar powers to my own. The reason wars happen is because ideologies clash. And because sometimes people can only stand so much. I've been in a war since I was eighteen. I'm aware of how pointless it is, but if someone tried to take your home and your life, would you defend yourself or not?
