After Ezra's Jedi training with Kanan, he sat in his room with the lights off, focusing within his mind. There he played trivia of all the drones, beeps, bloops, buzzes, chirps, whines, and whistles he studied the nights before. When it came meal time, he was feeling confidant that he could handle the next lesson. So finishing up his plate of waffles, he ran down the hall and knocked on Sabine's door. By the forth knock the door opened to reveal Sabine with a new arm load of books and recorders.

"Ready for the next lesson?" A nod, "Yes."

For the next hour Sabine explained the grammar system and how the noun is presented before adjectives and verbs. This confused Ezra for a good part of the time, because the code was a complex fusional verb morphology and SOV word order, but he eventually caught on. And by the evening, Sabine dismissed Ezra with a big dictionary of words in code. Only assigning that he look up words that are used commonly amougst them.


That night Ezra decided to save Zeb the trouble and took his blanket to sit in the cockpit like the night before. Gazing at the star for a while, Ezra listened to the sounds of the Ghost crew.

The last shake and spray of a paint canister, the unclicking of a ligtsaber, the grunts of the lasat, and the roll of a droid checking stats in the night. It wasn't long before the sound of sleep was all that remained.

Feeling sleep begin to engulf him as well, Ezra closed his eyes, but the next moment he was interrupted by a jabbing in his side.

"Hey!"

Sleepily Ezra mumbled, "I know that word..." before he sat up with realization. "Chopper?!"

The old droid nodded and gave a whistle ascending in pitch. "Yeah."

Ezra stared at the droid before giving a big smile, "Oh my light! I can...somewhat understand you!"

Chopper paused before exclaiming a chirp of surprise. "Karabast! What?!" Ezra focused hard in concentration as he deciphered the words.

All the while thoughts processed wildly within the droid as he realized Ezra could understand him. He hadn't really noticed anything since Ezra had been in his room for the better part of the past days. Then he droned angrily as he remembered Sabine and Hera. "Why they wouldn't dare!"

"Chopper?..." The droid shook before he spewed out a few rushed beep and chirps.

"Ezra! I think you're an idiot!"

Ezra blinked and stared at the droid for a moment before he smiled. "Hey you said my name!" After that the droid gave a squeal of delight.

Giving a sigh, Chopper dragged a mechanical hand over his head as a gesture of relief. He laughed to himself as he thought, 'Good...good. Ezra still hasn't learned enough! Hah!...'

Ezra glared at the way the droid was acting but refrained from asking about it. Instead he asked, "Hey Chopper, can you say something? I want to see if I can understand some." He waited and Chopper whistled a yes. Then looking down a bit shyly, Ezra continued. "Okay...umm...can you nod a yes or no if I get it correct? Please?" At that point Chopper spaced out on Ezra. When the boy didn't say anything else, Chopper realized he was waiting for a reply, so he quickly nodded a yes.

Then straightening up, Chopper gave a string of chirps, whistles, and beeps. "Ezra, you are the most vexations amongst the crew. Despite your usual young, naïve mind, and play, you can also be quite enticing...I MEAN RETARTED!" Chopper paused for a moment to think, and continued, "Zeb, he's even more an idiot then you. If I were to choose between playing tricks on you or him, I'd choose you. That lasat takes things way to seriously...well you do too, but I'm not too worried about your retaliation." When he finished, he watched as Ezra frowned at the sudden change in pitch, but continued to concentrated on the tones.

A moment later Ezra muttered to himself, "Let's see...I know you said my name...crew...young..." He looked at the droid seriously and frown, "...and something?..." Ezra massaged his temples and looked up as he tried to recall some more words, "You mentioned Zeb... with the same word from before...tricks...hmmm wait... the pronoun 'you'...and retaliation."

Chopper nodded slowly. Looking up at the sound of a yawn, he saw Ezra was about to go to sleep.

"Well...Goodnight Ezra." In return, Chopper received a sleepy mumble. "'Night, you idiot..." Then the boy was sleeping quietly in the chair.
