The meeting was adjourned soon after that. As she watched everyone else leave, Leia was conflicted. She knew she had to go try to get in contact with Lor San Tekka, and she should also see to the Jedi, make sure they were all settled in. She'd told Ahsoka that all the Jedi were welcome to stay, and had already give orders for several extra rooms to be made up for them. Still, she made no move to go to her quarters. Instead, she watched her son, trying get up the nerve to go speak to him.
Ben was speaking to Kanan about something, looking intent and excited. His hands moved through the air rapidly as he spoke. She wondered what Ben was talking about. She figured it was something he liked, but unfortunately, she had no idea what he liked anymore. She was still trying to come to a decision when Ahsoka came up to her.
"You want to go speak to Ben, don't you?" Ahsoka asked, already knowing the answer.
Leia sighed. "Am I being that obvious?"
"A little." Ahsoka admitted. "If you want to talk to Ben so much, why don't you?"
"I don't know what to say. I just found out that he's come back to the Light, and now, he's here, and..." Leia trailed off helplessly.
"You're afraid you'll mess up. That you'll do something to ruin your second chance. That you'll lose him again. And that if that happens, you'll never get a third chance." Ahsoka finished.
Not knowing what else to say, Leia simply nodded. Giving Leia a sympathetic look, Ahsoka continued, "I get why you're so nervous, General Organna, but you should speak to him anyway. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you'll never get him back." Seeing Leia still look so uncertain, Ahsoka added, "Why don't you just do it now? I'll help you, if you want."
Surprised, Leia asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, instead of just worrying about how to approach Ben, you should just go ahead and do it. The longer you wait, the worse it's going to be. Are there any private rooms around here?"
"My quarters are the closest." Leia replied, catching on to Ahsoka's plan.
Ahsoka nodded. "Then you, Ben, and Kanan go in there and see if you can make any headway with fixing things between you two."
"...Does Kanan have to be there?" Leia asked, wanting some privacy when she finally spoke to Ben.
"If you want Ben go near you at all, yes. Kanan is the only one he's really comfortable with right now." Ahsoka explained. Seeing Leia's questioning look, Ahsoka continued, "Ben's time with the First Order left him seriously scarred. Mentally, physically, and emotionally. He's physically recovered, but, mentally and emotionally, he's barely recovered. Kanan is literally the only person Ben feels safe with."
In a rare moment of weakness, Leia was visibly shaken as she worried about just what Snoke had done to her only child.
