[Ahsoka regards her for a minute. Barriss's sentiments sound well-intentioned, but... Ahsoka can see now how easily they can go astray, too.]
... And if it can't be done? If the time comes... are you be prepared to let the Order go?
[Or will you cling on desperately to the idea that you can change them, and fall into the pit of the dark side?
It's a cruel catch-22, and Ahsoka knows it. She was faced with the same dilemma that day, faced with Anakin on the Temple steps. To be unable to let go of the Order and want to remain a Jedi despite it clearly being an unhealthy environment for her would in fact be the choice that would make her less of a Jedi, in her eyes. But to have the strength to let go of everything she knew and had, to let go of that which made her a Jedi in the strictest sense, because it was time... ironically, that was the Jedi way. She didn't understand why Anakin and Barriss couldn't see that.
Then again, that conclusion was something she wrestled with, and only come to after months in this place. So maybe she can cut them some slack.
Perhaps she wasn't a Jedi, as the current order would define it. But given the current state of the Order... she was okay with that. She was okay with being something else. Something Luke would be proud of.]
