[jedies]

[ there's a house covered in toilet paper with a very tired jedi standing in front of it, just massaging his temple. ]

Is there a reason why my house is covered in paper? I assume there is a purpose to this other than a gross misuse of resources and time. If you have any issues with me, I much prefer a discussion than a clean up job.

[ he swats some of the butterflies away before sighing. ]

I'll be here. Tidying up.

Comments

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra hums in agreement.]

An exercise in a little bit finer control of telekenesis isn't a bad thing, anyway.

[jedies]

Yes. Being gentle and not leaving leftovers all over the house will be a good lesson in itself.

[ezra_of_lothal]

My control hasn't been as good, since I got here. The blood change, I think.

[jedies]

[ he sighs. ]

Yes, it has its moments. But it's something we can work on.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Oh. Not just me, then.

[Well, none of the other Force users have brought it up with him before.]

[jedies]

Of course not. Why would you think that?

[ezra_of_lothal]

I know blood types can affect native abilities in all kinds of ways, in general, but - [He shrugs.]

No one from our galaxy has mentioned having any sort of difficulty with Force abilities before.

[jedies]

Everyone has difficulties with the Force. While our understanding is innate, it is very much limited and prone to mistakes. I made plenty as a child and I imagine I still make them now.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[He smiles a little.]

We're all limited and imperfect, yeah.

I just wasn't expecting to feel like I'd have to practically relearn telekinesis all over again.

[jedies]

Well. At least it should be a quick lesson.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Hopefully.

[And with that he closes his eyes, trying to be sure he's centered, before he starts in on delicately unraveling snarls of paper.]

[jedies]

[ in a soft voice. ]

Gently.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[He nods a little, but keeps his eyes closed. Some of Kanan's influence here, perhaps, that he trusts his sense in the Force to discern where tree and paper begin and end, more than his eyesight from the ground.

After he's traced along a long loop, he starts carefully tugging to get to unfurl and slide off a limb so that it floats towards the ground.]

[jedies]

[ he nods approvingly. ]

Very good.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[A murmur, as he lets his senses slide to the next tangle-]

Thank you, Master.

[His presence in the Force brightens at the praise, too.]

[jedies]

Your control is much more fine than you give yourself credit for.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Not to put myself down or anything, but I do think the moonlight is making it easier for me right now.

Paleblood.

[jedies]

Or you could take credit in your abilities as well?

[ezra_of_lothal]

[He opens an eye, to squint in Obi-wan's direction, with a crooked grin.]

Well, influenced by the Moon Presence is part of my abilities, now.

[A heavy, mischievous beat of silence.]...That I'm currently making good use of.

[jedies]

I suppose that's good enough.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Oh so, cheerfully-] Glad to hear it!

[Ok, now he needs to recenter and focus, again.]

[jedies]

[ obi-wan shakes his head to himself as he observes quietly. ]

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra stretches his senses back out in to the Force. Obi-wan, with him. Trees. House. Paper.

And then something snags his attention. The flicker of a bright mind, not the physical things he's been trying to focus on - but he almost wants to say they're looking for him, which might explain why it pinged to him, which in turn makes him worry if they're in trouble or something, so he chases that wisp of a presence-

Wait.

His head snaps up, and his eyes fly open.]

...Ahsoka?

[jedies]

[ obi-wan freezes, his expression going slack. ]

— What?

[ezra_of_lothal]

I felt her.

[He sits down, expression determined, and closes his eyes again, to go searching for her, mentally.]

There's been...weird portals around town. She might not be here, exactly.
