I'm still in love with Darman's social sensitivity. He noticed that the Jedi are seemed to be okay with questions, therefore he is more braver asking one too. And Darman is asking about the missing Master Fulier.
•───────•°•❀•°•───────•
“What do you think happened to Master Fulier, sir?” Darman asked. He wouldn’t normally have posed unnecessary questions, but Arligan Zey had seemed to approve of his curiosity, and Darman was conditioned to do whatever Jedi generals wished.
We get to know a little about Master Fulier's lore by the description of Valaqil.
Love how the farmer Birhan and now Darman also points out the existence of lightsaber, and yet how it didn't help the Master in this fight. This absolute outsider perspective, who don't know anything AT ALL about the Jedi, only that these people are superhuman with flashing laserswords. Darman has to deal with the fact that maybe the Jedi are not as invincible and god-like entities how the propaganda painted them. That maybe these people have flaws too.

Jusik opened a case of Kamino saberdarts and held it out as if offering a tray of uj cakes. “Valaqil believes he was betrayed by a native,” he said. “They’ve been known to do anything to earn food or a few credits.”
Darman wondered how a Jedi could be taken by anything less than an army. He’d seen them fight at Geonosis. His warfare was a science; theirs appeared to be an art. “Didn’t he have his lightsaber?”
“He did,” the Gurlanin said. “But Master Fulier has, or had, some discipline issues.”
Darman—a soldier able to withstand every privation in the field, and whose greatest fear was to wither from age rather than die in combat—felt inexplicably uncomfortable at the idea of a Jedi having failings.
