"I'm trying to find a balance, I guess. Being violent when I have to be and knowing when the best time to fight is. Like the situation with the Fallen - I don't like that they're here and I don't like their terms, but I tolerate them for the safety of everyone in the Nexus. But if there was someone here actively causing trouble and wouldn't stop, like the Joker did, I'd join the fight gladly. Some enemies are worth fighting. Others aren't."

Ben watches the snake curiously. He's sure this wouldn't be impossible with the Force, but it's not something he's ever seen. He wonders if he can imitate what Mantis has done.

"As you mentioned, I had a target on my back since I was born - I thought most people in my life cared more about my bloodline and my power than they did about me. In some cases I was right. So I decided that I'd use the power they wanted so much to tear everything down. Now, I'm trying to find a new purpose for them. Since I still have the Force with me here, I may as well work with it."
