Who: Hera and anybody.
Broadcast: None.
Action: The Iskaulit
When: Today!

[ Hera finds herself in the room where Ahsoka has been instructing in meditation lately. She's picked up the basics pretty fast, and today of all days, Hera feels like she needs to clear her head.

She sees no point in making any kind of announcement about Kanan - assumes everyone who cares probably already knows, especially the Jedi. Why tell them something they already know? And it's for the best, really. She has faith that he's returned to their own galaxy, and he can look after the others until she figures out how to get back, herself. It's no big deal, nothing to be upset over, she did without him for years before they met.

And yet, just because she doesn't need him, doesn't mean she won't miss him. ]

[ He cracks a faint smile. ]

I do not believe I am the one in need.

Am I in need?

[ She sighs and gives Obi-Wan a faint smile. ]

I really appreciate the concern. I'll miss Kanan, but I'm fine. Ezra needs him a lot more than I do.

[ He shrugs at the easy reply. That would be his take on things too. He's not one to grieve. Still . . . Obi-Wan knows the chances of him seeing Kanan again are low. ]

Who is Ezra?

[ At this point, she sees no reason to hide anything from him. She highly doubts Kanan will be coming back to the fleet, and Obi-Wan is, well - dead, in their time. So, what harm could it do? ]

Ezra is Kanan's apprentice. He's very smart, but he needs a lot of guidance.

[ Well that's . . . odd. ]

I thought he chose not to follow the path of the Jedi.

[ Not that Obi-Wan blames him there. ]

[ She tilts her head a little, and nods. ]

He did. Until we met Ezra. The boy needed someone to take him under their wing. He needed Kanan. And, I think, Kanan needs him, a little.

[ A Master and Padawan relationship. Quite literally a baptism by fire. Nothing teaches so well as having a student. Still . . . he had his misgivings. ]

Isn't the Empire hunting down Jedi?

They are. And if he hadn't met Kanan, they likely would've found him by now, and done who-knows-what to him.

[ Obi-Wan does know, from personal experience and otherwise. But such details aren't brought up in polite conversation. ]

I'm surprised Kanan agreed to mentoring him.

I was a little surprised, too, actually. Kanan's always been so careful not to use his Jedi training. He almost never even brought out his lightsaber before he met Ezra.

[ She studies her hands for a moment. ]

But then it was like - he just knew what he had to do.

[ Ah. He instinctively realizes what must have happened. ]

The Force must have shown him the way.

[ She smiles a little. ]

Maybe so. It's funny, that when I first met him, he wouldn't have dreamed of taking up his lightsaber again, let alone taking on an apprentice.

[ No, he wouldn't have. Once, Obi-Wan was barely a knight when he was given his Padawan. Taking on a Padawan learner was one of great responsibility. ]

Padawans can inspire their masters to extraordinary heights.

I'm proud of him. He used to spend most of his time - getting drunk in bars on backwater moons. He knows he's good for much more than that, now.

Master Billaba would have been pleased to hear that.

She'd better have.

[ Hera says that, still smiling, but considering how willing she'd be to go to bat for Kanan, at any time, it's got a hint of sincerity behind it. ]

I know she would have.
