[ Perhaps much later, she will apologize for the tone she's taken with him. She may not understand his reasoning behind all of this, but she can also understand that sometimes, it isn't in someone's best interest to learn all the details right away.
It's hard for her to know how she should feel about all this, but her first instinct is to just feel frustrated by the imbalance of knowledge between them. Even so, she can't force him to tell her if he isn't willing. That isn't how she operates or how she wants to be. ]

[ She may have even told him as much before, but she feels like letting him know again. ] I don't mean to be annoyed; I just hate to wait, especially to learn more about someone as... As infuriatingly mysterious as you.

Her smile softens just a fraction as he goes on to talk about saving their star. In that respect, they are very much on the same page. ]
