[More like they would throw others in front of them and run away from any fighting. It would be an injustice to say that all were like that, as they weren't, but Padmé also knew the flip side. There was nothing straightforward about politics and she had learned to navigate those waters, sometimes the hard way, but navigate none the less.

Her eyes narrowed.]

We'll agree to disagree then. Life may be a struggle, but that doesn't mean that one needs to step on others. A little help can go a long way, and you never know what that little help may mean in the future.

[Ah. Agree to disagree was something he knew well enough! Usually such matters were resolved with one’s fists on Dathomir, but there had been verbal separation as well when the matter was a difference of pure opinion that wasn’t harmful to working together. He didn’t think he’d ever have a situation where a human wanted to agree to disagree.

He also wasn’t going to punch her. There was no point to that after she had suffered from mushrooms and now they traveled together.]

Is that… ah ultruesism? [He meant altruism, but he butchered speaking a foreign word to him. He’d only learned it a few hours ago!]

[She'd prefer no fists, if given a say in the matter. Padmé wasn't exactly built for fighting, and she knew that. Petite and tiny, she could hold her own in some situations, but she wasn't foolish enough to think that she was a fighter by any means. She found herself scratching at the base of one of the mushrooms as she gave a small huff, although not from how he has said the word.]

Perhaps, a little, although I, myself, cannot claim to be completely unselfish.
