Hey. Has uh anyone heard from Kanan? Like today. Or yesterday. Recentlyish.

[He sighs, not quite sure why he's doing this. He must seem like he's overreacting, but-]

He missed our lesson today which has literally never happened.

[Here, at least. Here for Ezra right now happens to be NeoJedha in Maurtia Falls. He's about to end the message when he realizes this is technically the first time he's posted on his own while not pretending to be Palpatine's nephew or something like that.]

I'm Ezra, by the way. I know it lists my name, but I feel like I should say it anyways? I don't know. If you know something, let me know. Thanks.

No, I'll wait a bit. It's possible he might still show up.

[queenofseers]

Let's hope.

[ She's kind of surprised Ezra seems less distressed than she does, but she'll let it slide. ]

I'm Cassandra, by the way. Igarashi. I'm pretty sure we haven't met, but maybe Kanan's mentioned me, I don't know.

[merging]

He hasn't. Nice to meet you.

[All said rather quickly because angry teenager.]

[queenofseers]

[ ...Cassandra's quite bad at at reading emotions, but she at least gets this. ]

You can be sad, you know.

[merging]

He's going to die when he goes back home, you know.

[queenofseers]

[ She huffs through her nose. If she hadn’t experienced what Ezra is feeling herself, and if she was closer to Kanan, this would be worse. For now she keeps level-headed. ]

Yeah. I know. I’m sorry, it’s bullshit.

[merging]

My point is that no matter what, he's gone. Him being gone here doesn't matter that much.

[queenofseers]

It can matter to you. It matters an awful fucking lot to the kids at NeoJedha, I'm sure.

[ She doesn't like this sort of coldness he's giving off, this derision. In a way...the bitterness reminds her of herself. ]

[merging]

Well, it doesn't matter to me! And they'll have to get over it too!

[queenofseers]

Hey, come on-

[ Mmm wait, for once she shouldn't be an ass to a kid who's clearing trying to cover up that he's mourning. She takes a deep breath. ]

Just- don't be so awful to yourself. No one is going to judge you for it around here. Or most people won't.

[merging]

I mean, you're all already judging me for not being sad about it.

[queenofseers]

I'm not- [ No, calm down, Cassandra. ] I'm just trying to understand. That's all.

[merging]

What is there to understand? I've basically told you everything.

[queenofseers]

[ She sighs, a little too harshly. ]

Fine. I’ll leave you be. Like I said- I’m sorry. And we’re around if you want to get anything of his.

[merging]

Got it. I'll come by in a week if he doesn't turn up.
