Ezra was still sleeping in his bunk when Zeb got up.

"That's a first." Zeb remarked.

Usually the kid would end up in Kanan's room, or was already up. Zeb always wondered when the kid actually slept because in the short time since the kid came aboard this was the first time he ever caught the boy actually sleeping.

Zeb walked out of the room quietly to not disturb the boy. Kanan and Hera were drinking caf at the table when he walked into the room.

"Morning Zeb." Kanan said.

"Morning guys what's the plan today?" Zeb replied.

"We're headed back to Lothal to get Ezra's stuff." Hera said.

"Finally. It's about time the kid official move in." The big guy replied. "He's had to borrow everything from other people all week."

"Yeah well Ezra probably doesn't have much stuff. Between living on the streets and the fire he probably lost a lot of stuff he collected while he was here." Kanan says.

"Is he up yet?" Hera asked.

"No." both men replied.

"He was still in his bunk when I left our cabin." Zeb replied.

"He's starting to get use to all this. It's the first night he's actually had a full nights sleep. It's probably the first time in a while." Kanan says.

"Poor kid's been through a lot. Why didn't you go check on him?" Zeb asked.

Kanan didn't answer. He just picked up his caf and walked out.

Hera's gaze followed the Jedi as he left.

"Was it something I said?" The lasat asked.

"It's personal for him." The twi lek answered.

Zeb immediately understood.

"What's up with Kanan?" Sabine asked as she walked in.

"Just a few regrets from his past. He'll be fine." Hera answers as the young artist made breakfast.

Sabine nodded before sitting down to eat.

"Is it Kanan's regret or Caleb's?" She asked.

"Both in a way. Caleb made the promise, but Kanan broke it. Unfortunately, Ezra was the one to suffer because of it. That's something Kanan never wanted." Hera explained.

The room was silent as Zeb ate his space waffles and Sabine drank her blue milk. Kanan didn't come back in.

"Morning guys." Ezra yawned as he finally came in. He looked around the room. "Caleb... I mean Kanan locked himself inside his room again?"

"Is that where he's at?" Hera asked. "I guess he really didn't want to wake you up."

"It was something about me that got to him." Ezra stated looking at Zeb. "What you say?"

"We where talking about getting your stuff today. I asked why he didn't..." Zeb said, but Hera quickly cut him off.

"Ezra why don't you go see if you can talk to him. I'll make you some breakfast." She suggested.

"Ok?" the boy replied. Then he took off.

As soon as the door closed behind him Hera gave Zeb the death stare.

"Can you please not bring that up around them." She said as she got up and started cooking.

"I still don't think it's fair that you and Kanan cook Ezra's breakfast while the rest of us have to fin for ourselves." Sabine remarks.

"I have him on a special nutritional diet that the rest of us don't need. I can't just let him eat junk food and ration bars for breakfast. I'm looking into getting him special ration bars for missions." Hera replied.

Kanan heard someone knocking on his door.

"Caleb?"

He knew exactly who it was. Only Ezra was allowed to call him Caleb. Kanan sighed.

"Morning Ezra, is there something you need from me?" He asked.

"No Master. Hera sent me to talk to you for some reason." his student replied.

Kanan got up and unlocked the door before the kid broke in.

"Well then I guess you better come in." He said.

"Only problem, I don't know what I'm supposed to talk to you about. All I got out of Zeb was that we were going to my tower."

"You have a tower?"

"I was living in an old radio tower outside Capital City. It's where I keep everything I collect, or own. Including my..." Ezra trailed off.

He looked up at his master but didn't finish.

"Your what Ezra?" Kanan asked as he sensed a change in his Padawan's behavior..

"Never mind. I forgot." Kanan could sense that it was a lie.

"Are you seriously lying to me?"

"No, of course not. Your my master, why would I lie to you." Another lie.

"Your mind say otherwise. You're hiding something from me." Kanan accused.

"No I'm not!" Ezra exclaimed while putting up a few shields to block Kanan out.

Kanan laughed at the effort.

"Then why are you trying to block me out? You know I'll find out anyways."

"But Caleb, you're going to be made that I didn't follow your orders. Even if it was eight years ago."

"Ezra, what are you talking about? What did you do?"

"I'm really sorry Caleb but I couldn't destroy it like you told me too. You have your lightsaber and your holocron. It's the only connection to that life I have. I can't lose it." Ezra quickly explained. His shields lowered as he went on.

If Kanan wasn't a Jedi he would have asked him to slow down, because he was almost talking to fast for him to understand.

Kanan took a moment to think about what Ezra might have from the temple. He could only think of one thing. He had destroyed his back when they were hiding on Kaller.

"Your robes?" Kanan said.

Ezra didn't reply. The look he gave him was enough to confirm it. Kanan sighed.

"Let's go get you some breakfast. Then we can talk about getting your robes and all your other stuff."

"Your not mad?" Ezra asked.

"No, I understand why you couldn't destroy them. It's why I still have my lightsaber and holocron." The Jedi replied. "Now do you want breakfast or not?"

"Ezra, your breakfast is getting cold." Hera called down the hallway.

"We're coming." Ezra called back.

The crew all sat around a holomap of Lothal's Capital City.

"My tower is one click north of the city. It's built so only two maybe three people can fit in it at a time. Perfect for someone living by themselves." Ezra explained pointing to the area where his tower was.

Chopper zoomed in around the area.

"Sabine we need schematics on that radio tower." Kanan said.

"I don't know Kanan it's pretty old. I might need a scan first. Ezra knows the tower pretty well." The girl replied.

"No ones going to be any where close Caleb. I lived there for years, and no one ever came by. Not even any stormtroopers. It's my place, we don't need the layout. " Ezra says.

"Yeah 'Caleb' your Padawan is right," the girl said.

The room went silent. All eyes turned to Sabine. Hera did a face plant. Zeb turned back to Kanan and Ezra, then went back to Sabine.

"Here's the shovel. Good luck digging." The lasat said.

Sabine wasn't paying attention. She took a quick glance at both Jedi. Then she tried to avoid meeting either's gaze.

Kanan's arms where crossed, and he had a look that said that she should know better. That was still nothing compared to the death glare Ezra was giving her. It was like she had stolen something from the boy and he would kill her to get it back.

"Sorry Kanan. It kinda slipped. It won't happen again." She said.

"Just do what you can, and don't let it happen again." Kanan replied.

"It better not. You have no right to call him by that name." Ezra started.

"Ezra!"

"No, Kanan. She didn't know you when you were Caleb. I did. She's only ever known Kanan. The only ones who have the right to call you Caleb Dume are the people that knew you then. The people that know the Jedi you are." Ezra went on. His voice went up a few opticals.

"Are you done?" Kanan asked.

"At that it shouldn't be used to under mine you like that. It should be used in respect like the name of any Jedi." Ezra finished off.

"Ezra, my cabin now! We can continue this meeting once you have cooled down." Kanan finally said.

"Yes master." His Padawan said before getting up and walked out of the room and down the hall.

"Well I guess the rest of us are dismissed." Hera said.

"I'm sorry about that Sabine. I didn't know he would react like that." Kanan said. "I better go deal with him."

When Kanan got to his cabin he found Ezra sitting up straight with his legs bent to where the bottom of his feet touched. His elbows were placed in the inside of his knees, and his hands were folded. He was using some breathing techniques that were normally used during meditation.

"Why exactly am I in trouble?" Ezra asked a lot calmer as soon as his master entered.

"I never said you were." The older Jedi replied.

"You sent me in here to meditate."

"No, I sent you in here to calm down. You decided to meditate on your own."

"Kanan why did let her..." Ezra started to ask. Kanan smiled when he stopped him.

"Master Billaba would have laughed at this and said you were just like me at your age." He said.

Ezra opened his eyes and tilted his head in confusion.

"I was the same age as you the first time my master and I went to Kaller. A kalleran disrespected her. I wasn't having it and told him off just like you just did to Sabine." Kanan explained.

"Expect he wasn't your friend and crew member." Ezra added.

"Not at that point. You remember the guy I stole the ship from on Kaller when I bought you back to your parents?"

"Yeah, why?"

"It was the same guy. I ended up joining his crew after I left. I pretty much named myself after him."

"Wait, so what did Master Billaba do when you went off on him?"

"Told Gamit Key that we where going to be camping under the stars. Then had me practice lightsaber forms until I calmed down."

"That's it?"

"No, but I'll tell you the rest when we get back. I think she would have been impressed by your method of calming yourself down. Then again you don't have a lightsaber. I had that and a platoon of clones standing with me back then." Kanan explains. "Mind if I join you?"

"It's always an open invitation Master Dume." Ezra replied.

"Hum, I didn't think I'd ever get to hear those words." Kanan played with the words over in his head.

"What? Jedi Master Caleb Dume?" Ezra asked.

The title and name still sounded great together. Especially when he considered that it was his own student that was saying it. Sadly that was a future that wasn't possible anymore. Ezra could still hold the title he was supposed to hold now though.

"Well when was the last time you were still expecting to be called Padawan Ezra Bridger?"

"The day you left. After that it was shattering hope that maybe one day."

The sun was setting on Lothal. Kanan and Ezra were climbing up the ladder of Ezra's tower. Almost everything was gone already except for a few things that they couldn't carry out in broad daylight.

"The place looks empty." Kanan remarked.

"I have a few hiding places in here. I know what will happen if I'm caught with these things." Ezra said as he messed with some panels.

"Any place I could look?"

"There's a false back to the closet. The metal panel is kinda heavy."

Kanan removed tried to move the metal panel. It wouldn't budge.

"How did you ever get this open on your own?" He asked.

"A trick I learned in the temple." Ezra replied.

Kanan took a minute to figure out what he meant by that. He thought of something, but it was a Force trick that could go unnoticed by most. Problem was it had been above Ezra's leave back then and he had never showed him it. Kanan hadn't ever needed to use it himself until the bar on the lower levels when they first went into hiding. It was worth an attempt though.

Kanan touched the panel and use the force to push it open from the other side.

"What master taught you that trick?" He asked when it worked.

Behind it was a hook with Ezra's old robes on it, and a stuffed Lothcats.

Ezra looked away from the panel he was working on & smiled at his master.

"Yours, why?"

"She taught the younglings stealth force tricks?" Kanan asked.

"Not all of us. Just me really. She said that she had a feeling I would need to know some." The kid answered.

"I'll have to add that to the list."

"What list?"

"The list of things I need to thank her for. Now, I get hiding your robes. Why hide the Lothcat though?"

"Two reasons really." Ezra said taking the toy. He undid a thread and pull out a data chip. "One, the empire would do anything to get ahold of this."

"What's the second reason?" Kanan asked.

"I named him after you." Ezra answered handing Kanan back the toy.

Ezra took his old robes from Kanan and reached inside the pockets. He pulled out a small stick that was painted blue like a lightsaber and a mini robes that would fit the lothcat.

"These are his. You can put them on him." Ezra said handing them to his master. "Mom gave him to me after you left to comfort me. We made the robe and lightsaber together afterwards."

Kanan held the toy in his hands with a smile. He examined the toy's lightsaber. It was a miniature version of his own. The robes were made of the same material as Ezra's robes.

"So you hid him so I was hiding with you?"

"So you were always hiding beside me. Just like you once hide me beside you." Ezra replied.

Kanan sat down on the floor of the tower. Memories of the past were overwhelming him. Ezra sat down next to him and just silently watched him.

"So you never did tell me. Why did Master Billaba let Mr. Kasmir disrespect her?" Ezra said in a matter of fact tone.

"In part..." Kanan quoted his master. "Because actions speak louder then words."

"In part? What was the other part?" The kid asked.

"I asked the same thing and her answer shocked me."

"Why?"

"She didn't agree with the council on the war. She thought that as Jedi we shouldn't have taken military titles." Kanan exampled.

"Considering what happened maybe she was right. Maybe the Jedi shouldn't have even got involved in the war at all." Ezra said.

Kanan reached over and pulled Ezra into a side hug.

"Sometimes as peacekeepers in order to do our jobs we must get involved in wars. Even if we don't want to." He said.

"It was a trap from the beginning though. The Jedi never stood a chance." Ezra stated.

Of course Ezra had figured out that the Clone Wars was a set up to begin with. He probably had known it since the Jedi purge. Kanan was about to speak up when Ezra spoke up again.

"chaos, yet peace" the boy whispered as he hugged his old robes.

The moonlight shining through the door of the old tower told Kanan it was getting late.

"We should probably be heading back before Hera comes looking for us." Kanan says.

The two gathered the few of Ezra's things that were left and took off.

Kanan held the stuffed toy in his hands. He put the little Jedi robes on it and placed the toy lightsaber in it's hands.

"Hello little Caleb. I'm the Jedi you were named after. I'm glad you keep my Padawan safe when I couldn't." He said to the toy. Then he tucked it away until they were back on the Ghost.
