[As if "paralyze" isn't just as serious a word when it comes to a droid built by someone known to nearly all of Verens as a murderer. Her gaze quickly flits back down to the droid once more, but it doesn't linger there. Ben, after all, is more interesting and important than his droid.
And here is where the conflict lies, because Leia is still on edge--her stiff body language giving that away--and she has things to do and people's safety to ensure, but part of her, a selfish part, wants to seize this chance to get to know a bit more about Ben. Because she's not sure how long, if ever, it will be until Ben offers up more information about himself like this.
She sighs, glancing away once again as she tries to sort through these conflicting thoughts.]
...I didn't know you could build functional droids. I'd like to hear more about it, once things are sorted.
[There, that's the biggest concession she can make to her more selfish wants, not that she expects Ben to actually agree to that.]
