[Even without knowing the full gamut of Leia's political career, Qui-Gon can tell just from this brief exchange that she's one hell of a negotiator, just like her mother. He didn't come in expecting a stand-off, but at the same time the information he's after isn't exactly the most pleasant, and he didn't consider just how deep a wound talk about her father could strike Leia.]
[He's getting rusty. No bueno.]
Alright.
I know that Anakin is your father, that your birth was hidden from him, and that you were brought up by the Organa family. I also know that Anakin fell to the Dark Side, your mother died in childbirth, and that you have a twin brother.
[He pauses for a moment to serve them both some of the tea, his eyes catching the way the steam wisps out of his cup before he continues.]
I can elaborate further as necessary, but I'm afraid there isn't much more that I've been made privy to.
[Despite the content of his response, Qui-Gon remains composed and compassionate. He's on Leia's side here, regardless of the part he (unknowingly) played in her suffering.]
