He's got a point. Like, a really good point. And she hadn't thought about that at all, but maybe she should have. Maybe she should've realized what their aunt would have had to say about it, that day on the stage, the way Taako does now. She shifts a little against his shoulder, like she's uncomfortable, even though she's anything but.
"I wanna say red? With like, silver lettering? Pretty big too. I don't think you were into it, though. Nah, you were always carrying around a lil purple one, right? That was a whole thing for a while there."
And then, because she feels like she needs to be honest, while the image of their aunt is disappearing for a second time, "I- I guess I just didn't think there was anybody worth worrying about, back on our old world?" Wow that sounds bad, and it's just wild to think about, knowing what she does now after a hundred years. "Like, I just-- I just wanted to see what else was out there. I thought there had to be more than what we were given." Pretty selfish, pretty-- he's right, she would've had something to say about it for sure.
She doesn't take her eyes off the fading woman and the two delighted children, grinning from comically huge ear to ear with full bellies and the happiness of a very good day.
