Would Aisereigh have forgiven Xaden?

I don’t know why this is just occurring to me now, on my third read though, but would Xaden really have planned to kill Violet, given his relationship with Brennan? Wouldn’t he know Brennan would try to kill him when he found out?

It doesn’t seem the sort of thing Xaden would or could hide, so Xaden would have to conclude that losing Brennan on the side of the rebellion would be a consequence for revenge-killing Violet. Xaden’s ruthlessness is all for the cause of the rebellion, so I can’t imagine he would have felt killing Violet would really have been worth it.

Also what were the conversations with Brennan like when he found out Violet was in the riders quadrant???
