Kanan's Warehouse, Friday Morning and Afternoon

[uncertain_dume]

Another wet one out there meant another Friday spent in the warehouse, with Kanan meditating his way through the morning and on as long as he could get away with before anybody's arrival to train. Today, rather than simply reaching out in the Force, he was levitating the disparate parts of his lightsaber around himself, quietly probing each piece to make certain it was all just so.

Basically giving the whole thing a mystical tune-up. Not that it was especially necessary, not since Master Kiwiiks had gone at it again the other weekend while he was busy being a dirty wizard hobo, but it was good, too, to be aware of just what she'd done with it.

One of these weekends Hera would turn into an ancient, long dead Jedi Master, and he would be himself, instead of a round cat or a scruffy Zemnian man with a lithe cat, and wouldn't that be an experience?

The last few weeks had been texts, so Rey was back to her normal call at the usual time today.

While as usual hoping she wasn't interrupting.

[uncertain_dume]

Meanwhile Kanan, as usual, was completely interruptable.

"Rey! Hey!"

He was doing better today than he had been earlier in the week. That was probably promising, right?

[thatwaslucky]

It was!

"Hello to you, too," Rey smiled. "Good day."

[uncertain_dume]

"Good day," Kanan echoed. "Yeah? How are things going over there for you this week?"

Good news. He could stand to hear some good news.

[thatwaslucky]

"There's never much new," Rey pointed out. "I was able to put together a decent set of goggles?"

That was good, though!

[uncertain_dume]

"Goggles are good," Kanan said, agreeing with the narrative. "Keep the sand out, or sparks if it comes to that?"

It was the little things. He was Jedi, more or less. He could appreciate little things.

[thatwaslucky]

"Exactly. Driving can be impossible when it's windy. I've managed, but these are better."

Because she'd popped the lenses out of a stormtrooper helmet.

[uncertain_dume]

Only thing those helmets were good for unless you needed a quick disguise, honestly.

Or a drum set.

"So it's going to be slightly easier going with those, huh? That's good to hear."

[thatwaslucky]

"Thankfully," she agreed. "How about you?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Wrapping my head around some things again," Kanan admitted after a pause. "We did get the kids last weekend. Hera and I got two this time around."

Which. Was. Definitely.

Well.

"We got pictures, I made sure we got pictures, I'll send those along, if you like."

[thatwaslucky]

"Please do," Rey answered. "How were they?"

These kids would definitely be way less complicated than any other space dads' that she had to deal with.

[justice_undone]

With classes finished, Breq headed over to the warehouse. She stopped in the doorway and remained silent while watching Kanan levitate objects, assuming he could sense her presence.

[uncertain_dume]

"Anan was cute," Kanan offered. "Little girl, takes after her mother. Cautious, but enthusiastic. Jacen..."

How to talk about Jacen?

"Jacen was good, too. Slightly more complicated."

[thatwaslucky]

"Seems like that happens sometimes." For instance, the only time Rey had a kid! "Too complicated to deal with?"

[uncertain_dume]

It only took a moment, before the parts of Kanan's lightsaber began to pull together, clicking and twisting into place until a complete hilt was left floating in the air before him.

He held out a hand and took it.

"Good afteroon, Breq," he said, opening his eyes to nod he way.

[uncertain_dume]

"Too complicated to let myself dwell on it," Kanan replied. "He was a good kid, though. Inherited his mother's love of flying."

Stole the Escape for a few hours.

Really, teenageers had to stop doing that.

[justice_undone]

"Good afternoon."

Breq smiled as she crossed the room. "I haven't seen you do that exercise before."

[thatwaslucky]

Or they needed to do it more!

"That's because it's great," Rey pointed out.

[uncertain_dume]

"It's not one I tend to do out in the open," Kanan replied with a wry smile. "But I figured I would make certain everything is in working order before I ignite the blade today."

And it was something else to throw his focus into that didn't involve thinking about dying or being blinded.

[uncertain_dume]

"It is," Kanan agreed, smiling a little in spite of himself. "There are reasons why I called my ship the Escape."

It had meant freedom from so many things.

[thatwaslucky]

"Did you get to take him up in it?" Rey asked.

[uncertain_dume]

"Nope," Kanan replied. "Hera did, last year. This year he did it all on his own."

While Kanan stood in the park with his mouth hanging open, watching his ship fly off.

[thatwaslucky]

"It's nice of you to let him."

Oh, Rey.

[uncertain_dume]

Well, at least that got a laugh out of Kanan?

"Oh, no. Nooo, I'm not nearly that nice."

[thatwaslucky]

"You got your ship stolen again?"

Said the future ship thief.
