Kilan knew that this realization was directly from Corinne's presence. He did not necessarily consider it a bad thing, but he knew that if he followed this logic, this could lead to a lot of conflict with his father. He might even be reassigned to a new master, even after all his father put him through. He has been the only so called, "family," he has had in many years, his mother has been assigned in Kamino and he has not traveled there since he was a mere boy. Yes they were not like a normal family. Families weren't for jedis. And though his father does not understand what happened that day, that he treats him like a future failure because of the past. He is grateful for his father in his life. If he was to go on to the jedi trials. They might have to move on and part after that. That could possibly be the reasoning for him to put off such an event. Kilan did not understand the exact reasoning, but if that was the case the he sure did understand.
He was really caught in between decisions he did not know if he should either come right out to his father and say that he needs to find his own path, move on to the trials. And prove himself as a true jedi. May become a well known master like his father. That legacy defines him, since the moment that he was born he was .. not trapped, but subjected to this life. He would never dream of complaining of being such a great and powerful individual. But to be still very torn at this stage shows that everything is not as defined as he once thought. He cannot spend his entire life trying to prove himself to his father. His father most know that as well, his father was fighting the inevitable. They were to be split up in the future and that will be something he will have to prepare for. If he did not tell his father this then he would be stuck not achieving his full potential or greatness. He does not want that, he wants to continue the legacy not live in the shadows, he wants to do memorable things. Now if he was to sit down with his father and explain all these realizations it could go two ways, his father could see how he ha been effecting Kilan, maybe feel some remorse. Maybe he would agree to send him to jedi travels after the mission. He could possibly let Kilan move on and become a great jedi master, or he could get angry for independent thinking. He may find it as an outburst of disobedience, there could be more tension between them, and he may treat him worse than before, and may never look at him with pride. Never look at him with the pride that Kilan truly feels.
Kilan returned from his deep thinking to realize that Corinne is taking a while getting ready, he slightly smiled at that, she really was the true opposite of him, she was a free spirit, her own individual, and she was.. late. She was not prompt, like he was programmed to be. But honestly at this point he did not care, he wanted to escort her. It was proper, so if his master frowns upon their tardiness then so be it. He always told Kilan to treat guests and new people with the upmost respect for they are our allies and we do not want to disrespect such important people. So in his mind he is only doing what he was trained to do whether his master saw it that way or not.
