"My name is Dunan." I began as I sat across from Ezra on my ship. "You probably sensed it by now, I'm a Jedi." Ezra's eyes flashed surprise; I really thought he knew. "How do I know that you're not lying?" This eyes were testing, questioning. I guess it was good that he doesn't trust everything I say just because I'm Force sensitive. He had logic. "Come on, trust your feelings. I know that you're able to sense that I'm telling the truth." The look on his face suggested that I said the right thing.
"Kasari is my padawan. She was taken a few days ago." I sensed understanding from the boy. "By the Inquisitor?" He asked. I nodded, "Yeah, by the Inquisitor. You lost someone to him as well, didn't you?" He winced, I struck a nerve. "He's still alive…" Ezra said, almost defensively. "If he trained you well, then yes, you would be able to sense that." I replied level headedly
"He taught me well." Ezra said.
"I have no doubts on that." I responded. "In any case, our loss and affiliations make us allies. I will do whatever I can to help you get your master back. I'll need some help to retrieve my padawan. Deal?" I stuck my hand out for him to shake. He took it. "Deal!" He said.
"Great!" A flutter of hope went up inside me. "Let's figure out a plan." Suddenly a lost feeling filled the bond, then there was nothing. I doubled over, my breath came out in sudden gasps. "Dunan!" Ezra cried. "Are you okay?!" I swallowed hard and pushed down my pain. "Blast." I growled quietly. "Force inhibitors."
"Huh?" Ezra asked, confused.
"An interrogation tactic used especially for Jedi." I clarified quickly. "That's an extreme, she's only a kid after all." I snapped back to reality. "Let's get moving!"
"Right!" Ezra responded, enthusiastically. "I'll introduce you to everyone." I followed him as he walked off of my ship and led me to the crew.
