[Leia shakes her head, the same sad smile still firmly in place. Because she doesn't want to discourage Luke or anything of the sort, but there's still so much he doesn't know. And though he deserves to know, she hesitates to bring it up, purely out of respect for his feelings.]
I just want you to promise me you'll be careful. During the time he's been here...
[She trails off, debating how specific she should be, and what she should even mention. Eventually, she decides being vague is the best option. If Luke wants the details, she'll allow him to ask for it.]
In the past year, he's teetered between extreme behaviors and unpredictability. I was promised multiple times by others that he wouldn't be a danger, but the fact that those promises were made multiple times says more than enough.
[Because after every outburst, after every hint back to behavior she expects from Vader (and thus Anakin), she had been promised he would change. That they would keep an eye on him. That it wouldn't happen again. And yet it had, multiple times.]
