"Well the Rebellion doesn't have much more than that," *Luke reasoned. He felt really, really bad about leaving in the middle of it, but what was he supposed to do? Let Leia and Han disappear without a trace?* "We have Right."

"The Rebellion? Yeah, if we can ever even GET back home. Right isn't the same as winning."
*She looked at Luke again*
"But I guess none of us would be here if we cared about that."

"But Right must win," *Luke insisted.* "Else, what use is fighting? What use is the Force?"
*He touched a finger beneath Leia's chin.*
"Hey. We fight where we're able. For all we know, this Richard is an outpost of our own enemy."

"Who knows..."
*She smiled again*
"Yes, the Force. It's something to believe in."

"Remember," *Luke said, smiling,* "Good is always stronger."

"But it doesn't always win." *Enjolras warned the kid.* "Being right doesn't change the fact that you're isolated, on a barricade, with a ragtag force and limited ammunition, up against the national guard with endless supplies of men and weapons."
*He turned to Leia.*
"We shouldn't jump in unprepared, of course, but something's got to happen before it's too late and he gains too much power to be stopped."

"There are battles, and wars," *Luke said.* "Defeat in one doesn't mean the other."

"Defeat on a barricade means you're all dead. There are no more battles after that." *He said this all with an authority that could be mistaken for harshness, but one who knew him knew that it was merely the only way he knew to get his point across.*
"I've been a victim to idealism before. I don't intend on falling prey again."

"I'm not stupid," *Luke said, his face serious.* "I understand the risks. Maybe I came off as flippant before, but I still believe that, even dead, a righteous cause lives on. Somewhere, in someone. The next fighters."
*He glanced at Leia.*
"And if Leia finds this cause worthy, I'm willing to fight for it."

*Enjolras nodded. It was a bit schmoopy, but a good sentiment nonetheless. He was in no position to be doubting anything to do with defying death, all things considered. And Leia was indeed going to be his strongest ally in this, that much he could see already.*
"Then I appreciate your support."

*Leia sat up as she thought of something*
"About the ammunition- I just had an idea. There's a woman who owes me a favor, and I think it's time to call it in. I can't make a promise, but I wouldn't be surprised if she could get us surplus weapons."
Or even blasters...

*He raised an eyebrow.*
"And you're sure she can be trusted?"

"Can we be sure about any of us?"

"Weapons are vital. One or two betrayers are easier to deal with than faulty weapons."

"We'll test before the revolution, then."
