After Kanan and Ezra are picked up by Zeb, they arrive outside the garrison just in time to watch as Sabine knocks out another Mandalorian, this one wearing the colours of Clan Onyo. Disembarking they watch as 2 of the man's compatriots drag him off as they hear Sabine yell "next time maybe he'll think before he nearly blows up a city!"
Then Sabine turns around her eyes sweeping over the small crowd of assembled people, shooting Hera a sheepish look before her eyes land on Kanaan and Ezra. As has become more and more common now that they're married Sabine doesn't hide her affection, instead taking pride in it as she makes her way over to greet Ezra. Ezra for his part is still a little shocked when she presses a kiss to his cheek before taking his hand and pulling him towards the garrison.
As they walk over, Kanan falls in behind them listening as Sabine details how they need to move the reactor to allow her to disable some of the empires more explosive safeguards. All around them, people move out of their way, and it is partway between Sabine explaining the side effects of Electromagnetism on an active hyper matter reactor that Ezra realises that everyone seems to be showing them deference.
As soon as Sabine has finished her explanation, with one of her typical complaints about such an explosion being majority white despite the nature of the fuel source and how it needs more colour; Ezra asks "Sabine, why is everyone so careful to stay out of our way?"
"It's not out of our way, it's out of yours," Sabine says then quickly realising how Ezra may take that she says "they all know that you almost singlehandedly repelled an entire Imperial invasion force. Not to mention the fact that you're next in line to be the Count of Clan Wren."
This last comment seems to leave Ezra sputtering as he asks "Wait, what?"
Sabine, for her part, rolls her eyes fondly "seriously Riduur, if I'm going to be the countess, what do you think that makes you?"
"But, I'm a street rat, I can't be a count," he protests before dropping into a softer voice that won't carry "hell I can't even read Sabine."
Sabine pulls him aside before saying "Ezra, my love, none of that matters."
Then laying her hand on his cheek and feeling him press himself against it seeking comfort she says "my people find great honour in hardship, the way you grew up, what you have sacrificed, all of it just makes you more worthy in their eyes."
Rubbing his cheek with her thumb, she says "but even if it didn't, none of that would matter, you have me, and future Countess or no, I love you, and anyone who has a problem with you will quickly find themselves alone in the cold."
"I love you too," he says, looking up into her eyes and giving her a small smile.
"Besides which, we can always teach you to read" Kanan responds from seemingly nowhere startling the two out of their moment and making them aware that they are still standing in a very public hallway.
Sabine is quick to recover, saying "come on, we should get this done before the empire decides to blow this thing remotely" and pulling Ezra with her as they resume their walk towards the generator.
When they arrive at the generator, it is clear to Kanaan that this is not a standard generator, instead in a cost-cutting measure typical of the Empire in the outer rim, this looks to be a converted generator off an old star cruiser, from the looks of it, an Acclimator troopship.
The three quickly get to work, Kanaan and Ezra working in tandem to make sure they move the reactor exactly how Sabine specifies, to ensure there are no accidental detonations. Beyond them, both being sure Hera would be pissed at their deaths, and Ursa pissed at the loss of a reactor, neither of them wants to deal with Sabine when she inevitably finds them in the force if her death is so monotone an explosion.
Hours later, the three emerge from the reactor room exhausted, but their job is done. All any of them wants to do is sleep, and now they will finally have the chance, just as soon as they get back to The Ghost, and let the Mandalorians know it is safe to move. They don't waste time on either front, Sabine waving down a guard and instructing them to inform her mother while she stumbles alongside Ezra back toward the Ghost outside. As they stumble out of the building, they are unsurprised that the sun has started to rise again and Kanaan doesn't even bother keying his code, instead just waving his hand and letting the force release the locking mechanism on the ramp of the Ghost. Once they're inside Ezra sweeps Sabine into his arms and makes a force assisted leap to the top level as Kanan does the same. Minutes later they're all crashing into bed, Ezra and Sabine in her room, Kanaan practically ontop of Hera startling the Twilek woman awake with a curse at her mate
"Kriff Kanaan, what the hell" Hera yells startled from what had been a pleasant sleep.
"Tired" Kanaan groans from where he lays half atop Hera.
Hera grumbles under her breath and quickly rolls her Jedi onto his side. Then pulling him upward she says "fine, but you're making dinner for the next week since you woke me" before snuggling down onto Kanan, her Lek coming to stroke against his shoulder
