I gave you the chance to walk away. You didn't take it.
You knew the Council would send someone. You knew what would happen.

Just come with me. The Order isn't perfect but it does good. You don't have to run from it.
You left without warning, without a reason. If you talk to the Council, they'll listen. You don't have to run like this.
[There's a little part of Steve that takes notice of his choice of words. The Council certainly has changed. He's trying not to doubt but it's strange.]

[He holds out a hand, though he hasn't put his lightsaber out, ready to attack if the situation calls for it.]
