I was more pointing out the whole "I can't accept that" thing doesn't really hold up when the same character has literally accepted the same object before without having to win it in combat.
Rewatched again and focused on that scene. The exact words may have given them the out: "She can't accept it again without winning it in combat...." Leaves just enough wiggle room so that if you had it once and lost it, you need to win it back in combat, but it could be ordained to you for the first time like it was in Rebels.
