he doesn't know what a jellyfish is so the insult kind of skipped him by but when he finds out he was being called spineless he's going to be very not happy
without the clones gone and palpatine dead the republic can 1) find some more civilians willing to volunteer 2) let the rim go 3) argue about it until Jedao deals with them
Hux would come pay to see that. I think he's also a little angry because he is a child soldier from the next war, and he helped raise a generation of child soldiers after him that he's now struggling to de-militarize. So he's looking at Jedao like he's going to radicalize the galaxy even faster with this move
and quite good at....both gently and harshly deconditioning people, the psychological ride he takes Cheris on, and the ride she takes other people on after eating his soulglass
jedao is absolutely being an asshole but he is extra pissy about being repeatedly told he doesn't know what he's doing when 1) he absolutely did figure it out about palpatine in about five minutes of talking to fives, because he's a ridiculous genius, and 2) he's been researching nonstop for two years
there's also this like, fabulous catch 22 of either Hux is not smart enough to help, so there's no reason to tell him anything, or Hux is smart enough to maybe be trouble if he tried to get in the way, so there's reason to not tell him anything
He's trying to offer to help, goes about it completely the wrong way because 0 social skills and is now like "fuck it, what am I even supposed to do here? Gonna go talk to Dr. Goodsir about morality brb"
the thing he actually should have done way back When Odd: called his fucking temp warden who had already given him a gun, and ask him to tell Odd to chill
one of like three things he misses
