[He swallow hard.]

Ok.

...Should I go or stay?

[jedies]

[ he blinks. ]

Why would you go?

[ezra_of_lothal]

Oh. Um. Maybe this is a difference?

Ben - let's just call the other you Ben, I guess. Sometimes he really wanted to be alone to, uh, process things. Or would go away.[When he was really upset. When he was upset with himself for feeling overwhelmed. When he felt exposed.] Although, he didn't usually try to hide in the Force, so it wasn't like he was unfindable.

...Sometimes Kanan would hide in the Force, too. Not sure if it was intentional.

[Ezra's smart enough to get this behavior was probably trauma driven response, from both of the older Jedi. Still didn't make it feel great.]

[jedies]

[ obi-wan frowns at that. he can't speak for other people or . . . selves as it were. nor would he want to, but it felt like a strange thing. even stranger for ezra to process it as indictment. ]

While people can get overwhelmed, I am an adult. I'm able to process things later on if necessary. Everything has its time and place.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Alright.

But if you wanted time and space - I just wanted to check.

...would it be ok if I crashed on your couch tonight, then?

[jedies]

Of course it is.

And I'll let you know if I need some.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[A lot of tension goes out of him, all at once.]

Thank you. For everything.

Especially for saying the thing about family out loud. I kinda needed to hear that.

[jedies]

I only told the truth.

But you're welcome.
