Jon would continue to approach toward the guard in white, both of them halting as they'd reach an equal distance from one another, Jon's hand resting idly once more at the pommel of Longclaw, his trusty blade. As the guard would speak up, his arm would inch away from the sword somewhat. He had half expected a fight, but he wanted to do nothing to alarm the guard. Whatever it was they were all holding looked as though it could be put to fatal use, after all, and Jon couldn't take his eyes away from the strange weapon.
The former Lord Commander was even more surprised as the Stormtrooper continued, though. Mentioning that the "Empire" was just ahead. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but then closed it again immediately after, glancing behind him toward Crona, taking note of his nervousness with a slight frown. He'd slowly crane his neck to look back at the guardsman, inhaling sharply before speaking. "The Empire? There's some form of government here, then?" Jon questioned into him further, the guardsman giving a affirmative nod in response. "Through this gate, indeed. The realm is governed by our Emperor Palpatine, bless his name. There are many other civilisations standing among these plains, but let me tell you... you won't find anywhere else that is as safe, stable and wealthy as we" his tone would grow harsher and slightly more authoritative as his speech would draw to a close, feet shifting somewhat.
Jon narrowed his eyes. He truly was unsure of what to make of this, but if what the man spoke was truth, it'd be the best place to go until he can find a way out of this twisted realm. He slowly turned back to Crona, his long, trimmed fur cloak swaying slightly with his quick movement. He'd pace silently toward Crone, the Stormtrooper Captain that had came forth to parley with them stepping back in line with the others, a few of them whispering amongst themselves. Jon would kneel to be at Crona's height, staring at him calm, peaceful eyes. "What do you want to do? We can still turn back..." he'd motion to the gate at the opposite end of the one they stood before now, staring silently at Crona as he'd await an answer.
