All things considered it doesn't take Sabine long to find Ezra; However it is what she sees when she finds him that has her blood boiling. She finds Ezra in the sparring courtyard below the main stronghold facing off against a half dozen of her cousins as they battle back and forth, her cousins eager to test their mettle against the now legendary Jedi. But that is not what has her blood boiling, rather it is the audience that Ezra has attracted that sets her blood singing with anger. All around the room are scattered a large number of clearly love-struck and awestruck members of Clans Wren, Kryze and Onyo who seem extremely focused on the young Jedi.
Sabine doesn't even register her anger, not truly, until Ezra seems to feel the surge of emotions through the bond they share and turns to focus on her. Behind him her cousins seek to take advantage of this seeming moment of distraction, but in true testament to his ever growing skill Ezra manages to keep them at bay all the while sending Sabine a lo of puzzlement and worry.
They remain like that a few moments as the others around them start to take notice before Sabine becomes aware of all the eyes now focussed on her and beats a hasty retreat, headed for the doors from which she entered.
Ezra for his part is torn, on the one hand he wants... no needs, to know what caused Sabine such distress, but at the same time he knows that Sabine needs her space and that if he follows her right now he is far from likely to get the response he desires. So instead he turns back to face his opponents and proceeds to highlight just why the Mandalorians had always held a healthy amount of respect for the skills of the Jedi despite their hatred by flattening all of Sabine's cousins in less than a minute. Once the fight is over he quickly turns to help them up from where he had laid them out and makes his way over to where his Lightsaber and jacket lay beside the training area. Quickly he departs the room, not even taking notice of the multitude of stares that follow his every move.

Once Ezra leaves the room it takes him only moments to hone in on the rapidly moving signature of Sabine as she makes her way as fast as she can away from the stronghold and towards the nearby frozen lake. He can feel the tension and emotions rolling off her like a thunderstorm, and he quickly decides that he will give her a little bit of time and space before he follows.
Ezra knows that she is prone to bouts of temper that burn quickly and intensely before she can truly process whatever may be causing her reactions. He knows that in cases like this the best option is to allow her some space to sort through and vent her feelings while being there when she does eventually desire their presence. So instead of chasing after her he makes his way toward the kitchens and armoury first grabbing a couple of small boxes containing rations and some cold weather gear that he has the feeling they might need placing them in a pack.
As Ezra is making his way out towards the main doors pack over one shoulder he is brought up short as he turns the corner and nearly crashed into Ursa Wren. Quickly he straightens and says "my apologies Countess, I wasn't watching where I was going"
Ursa looks at him a moment before catching on the pack slung over his arm quirking an eyebrow and asking "going somewhere Master Bridger?"
Ezra adjusts the pack unconsciously as he says "Sabine came by the training room earlier. However before I could speak to her she left and she seemed a little distressed, I'm going to go find her"
Ursa nods at this looking at him contemplatively for a moment before she says "very well, just, when you do find my daughter, bear in mind she is far more like me than either of us would like to admit and somethings can be difficult for her to say"
Ezra smiles at this as he recalls a few incidents over the last several years "believe me Countess, I'm aware of Sabine's preference for actions over words, if she is ready to talk we will, if not I'll be there until she is."
This time it is Ursa that smiles as she says "you're a fine young man Bridger" before turning and leaving Ezra standing alone mulling over their conversation.
