Leia gave Sunset a respectful nod. She was right; there really wasn't anything to be said in the face of the destruction of one's homeworld. At least nothing that Leia would say publicly. Tapping into anything beyond surface anger on that point, was... not wise, currently. She did notice Loki's wince though, and made note of it.
"If the entity wants to provide justification for its actions, or expresses remorse, then I'll listen," Leia said. "It may not change my mind. But I'll listen." She couldn't promise any more than that, and thus shifted the subject somewhat to actual planning, turning to Loki.
"Real explosion or not, I'd say your reputation is a bit more than tarnished because of it. I doubt that the local authorities would take you back, even if you did bring a potentially valuable prisoner with you. Though the same basic plan could still work, if you were willing to swap roles. Perhaps, a Leader of the Voidtreckers bringing in a 'dangerous and unstable loose canon who's a threat to both groups' as a sort of peace offering with which to open up negotiations would work better?"
