[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

[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.

[jedies]

[ he frowns a little at that, though it doesn't seem directed at ezra. ]

I see.

[ezra_of_lothal]

One thing I am very good at is mental connections. Especially to find family.

[He found Kanan, clear across a stellar system, with Darth Vader nearby, over the pit of Darkness that was Mustafar. At 15, he hadn't really had the training to grasp how nearly impossible that should have been.

He has a better idea now.]

[jedies]

[ his expression goes quiet for a moment. ]

I haven't seen mine in years.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[His eyes open again, not liking the inflection in Obi-wan's tone, and not quite sure what the words mean. He hasn't seen his version of Ahsoka in years? Family in general?

(Anakin is here. Luke is here. He is here.

But Ezra knows that's not the same as a Temple full of Jedi.)

Towards the slender strand of connection in Ahsoka's direction he pushes, the feeling, as much as the words:

I'm coming. Wait for a while if you can.]

Obi-wan?

[jedies]

[ he smiles faintly, giving a loose shake of his head. he's dwelling and he knows it. but he finds it coming over him from time to time. ]

I'm all right. Just something I'm unaccustomed to.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Hmmmm. Yeah, that mood seems familiar, in a not great way.

Hesitantly-]

Do you...want see if we can talk to her? Even if it's only for a moment?

[jedies]

[ no. and he doubts she would want to. ]

All things in their own time. I best not interfere with portals.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra frowns.]

Well. Wouldn't be the first time she and I have found each other across portals through time and space.

And...the last time I saw her, I asked her to find me. And she said she would.

[She might get really stubborn, if he doesn't tell her he doesn't think that this is where she's meant to bring him home from, is his thought.]

[jedies]

Then you should greet her.

But I don't think it is my place.
