Darth Ravager: Thank you so much! I try really hard to make it sound believable and not change the characters too much, and I'm pretty happy it's paying off!
Sorry for the late update, I was grounded through the weekend, and had no access to the family laptop. :P I'll update next Monday for sure, after this one, then it'll return to normal.
Kanan:
He paced the corridors of the Ghost, restless. His Padawan had run off over three hours ago, and the temperatures were dropping. By now, Hera would have landed and called off the search for the night, as her star-ship's engines were complaining from the constant cold, but something in Kanan's expression had kept all of them going. With a low clank, the Phantom docked. Minutes later, Sabine burst through the door.
"I couldn't see too well in the storm, but there's a cave I'm pretty sure he went into. I can lead you there, in the Phantom." The Mandalorian said breathlessly.
"I'll come with you, and see if I can sense Ezra.." Said Kanan, his quiet voice cutting through the conversation like a knife.
"Alright, but please, both of you, be careful..." Came Hera's reply.
A few moments later saw the Jedi Knight sitting in careful, if a little rushed, meditation. Sabine maneuvered the Phantom back to where she saw the brief flash of orange.
Kanan perked up as he felt the slight jolt, that meant they had landed. His padawan was close, but something felt...off.
A few moments earlier:
Maul:
He sat, next to his apprentice. Ezra had been ranting for the last 20 minutes about how his Former Master was treating him unfairly.
Maul said nothing, just listened and nodded when Ezra happened to look up at him.
Suddenly, they both felt a shift in the Force; The Jedi was close.
"I'm going to be in so much trouble," The teen said without thinking.
Maul just nodded grimly.
"You know that I'm here for you, and whatever happens, you can trust me." The Zabrak said, his low voice somewhat soothing the boy.
Ezra:
He nodded slightly, but when he looked up, Maul was nowhere to be found. And not a second too late, Kanan appeared at the low entrance to the cave.
The boy stiffened, then, out of absolutely nowhere, he started to cry.
He was rather good at hiding his emotions. Or...Used to be.
On the streets, crying wouldn't help, and when he met the Ghost crew, he was just numb by then. He felt nothing, because he had felt nothing for over four years.
But, something in Kanan had brought emotions that he hadn't wanted anyone to see. But, it changed when he had found out his parents, were truly gone.
Ezra had subconsciously clung onto the hope, that somehow, his parents were still alive. and when he had found out that they wee alive up until a few days before he found out, it hurt him in a way he'd never been hurt before.
Until now.
He had let his master down, and on top of that, hurt him. He could feel it.
So, he curled into himself while sobs racked his body.
He...just couldn't stop.
He wasn't even aware that Kanan had wordlessly scooped the teen up, and returned to the Phantom.
By the time they reached the Ghost, Ezra was passed out form pure exhaustion.
Again, I'm taking requests.
Please, i can feel the Writer's block creeping around in my head.
