"I think I'm doing this wrong."
Rex turned around. Ahsoka was sitting in the center of the hangers, her fingers tangled in a string of lights. Another string was settled in between her montrals, and the girl looked up at Rex with a sheepish little smile. "I didn't mean to," she explained, tugging at the lights pointedly.
"Obviously," Rex replied. He set down the box of tinsel he was holding and reached for the other end of the lights. He tugged once, but Ahsoka shook her head.
"That's not helping," she said, lifting her wrists. "You gotta help me untangle them."
Rex knelt down next to Ahsoka. "You know," he said, taking some of the lights, "I figured that Jedi would be better at this stuff."
Ahsoka looked at him.
"Sorry," Rex said, biting back a grin. Somehow, he managed to get Ahsoka free of the lights. "Now stop fooling around."
"I'm not," Ahsoka huffed, but Rex noticed that she was careful in picking up the lights. She hoisted the string of lights over her shoulder and nodded at the box of tinsel. "Yours?"
"Who else's?" Rex asked, picking up the box. He jerked his head down the hanger, and both Ahsoka and he made their way down to the first wall. Once they were satisfied with where they were, both Ahsoka and Rex set down their supplies.
"You know what we're doing?" Rex asked, picking up a length of tinsel.
"Sure," Ahsoka replied, untangling the lights. She stepped on a stool, threw the lights up to the wall. "Could you hand me the tape?"
Rex looked down. He found the tape sitting on top of the rest of the lights. Passing it over, he added, "Sure that'll stick?"
"It'll stick," Ahsoka replied confidently.
A moment later, the lights slid to the ground.
Rex looked at Ahsoka. "You were saying?"
Ahsoka huffed out another breath. "Don't," she warned, and she scooped down to grab the lights. Rex let out a quiet laugh, bending down to help with the lights.
Together, they climbed up on the stools. Ahsoka held the string of lights; Rex taped it down a little harder than before.
"You ever decorated before?" Ahsoka asked after a little while.
Rex paused. "No," he said after a while. "Kaminoans weren't into this kind of thing."
Ahsoka was quiet. When Rex looked at her, she looked more thoughtful than anything else.
"So is this your first time?" she asked.
Rex stopped again. "I guess so," he admitted.
Ahsoka's lips quirked upwards. "Mine too," she said after a awhile.
Rex and Ahsoka stood back. They had managed to hang enough tinsel and lights so that it wouldn't fall.
"Well, Commander," Rex said, holding out a hand. "I think we did a good job, given our first time."
Ahsoka looked at his hand and, with a grin, shook it.
