[Thrawn’s tone is dry, maybe filtering on the edge of annoyance. He expected…what, exactly? For Ezra to be more like him? He defeated Thrawn by behaving precisely the opposite of how Thrawn would act.
And there were other Force-sensitives. Thrawn never liked Jedi philosophy but even he could acknowledge that Ezra had gifts that had only grown with time, whereas his people’s tended to diminish around Ezra’s age. That was fascinating too, and perhaps the Admiral has placed Ezra and Thrawn together at a time where each was least likely to wish to do harm to the other.
For Thrawn, the adjustment period was three weeks: for Ezra, three years. But the result was the same: a tentative peace, or at least a pact of non-violence.
All of this he doesn’t speak aloud. As he recalled, Ezra usually had no problems filling the silence by himself.]
