[Ezra does figuresarcasm in this sort of context is Nara'a way, at all, so he smiles, delightedly backk.]

Thanks, Nara'a. Yeah, this is something I've been working towards for a long, long time.

[He tilts his head a little, more thougtfully.]

Seeing Kanan and knowing he wasn't going to stay - that was a gut punch. I'm at peace with it in some ways, not like mad about it. And I'm grateful, too. Him just telling me he believed I was ready got me over the hump of some pretty complicated thoughts and feelings I'd been having. The stuff I'd been already working on the oath to try to get my head around.

So. Right now, calm after the storm and, and good, and bright. I'm sure it'll take a while to really settle.
