[There may be just a bit of urgency in Ezra's mental voice when he calls Leia here.]

Leia? Are you there? Are you okay?

[oratorical]

[That urgency would be hard to not notice, and there's a touch of concern in Leia's voice in response.]

I'm fine, Ezra. Did something happen?

[lothrat]

[Ezra's relief is palpable through the connection.]

Not yet, but-

I had a vision. It's... something Jedi sometimes do. The Force can show us things that haven't happened yet, and I saw you. These animals stampeded and knocked a building down, and you got hurt.

[He's not making this up. There's genuine distress in his voice.]

[oratorical]

[Well that's alarming. Not the force vision, but Ezra's response to it. She tries to exude some slight calm, to try and help Ezra's emotions even out and to reassure him she's fine.]

Do you know where this was supposed to happen?

[lothrat]

[He can feel what she's trying to do, and maybe it helps a little bit. It at least gets him to pause and take a breath to try to settle himself.]

I couldn't tell from the vision. I could try to show you, if you want, but it's... fuzzy around the edges.

It's a building somewhere maybe near the edge of the city.

[oratorical]

If showing me will help you feel better, go ahead.

[She doesn't know if she trusts whatever vision Ezra had, especially considering right now she's nowhere near the edge of the city, and there's no animals around her right now, either. But she's more concerned about how Ezra's reacting to the whole thing than whatever it is he may have seen.]

[lothrat]

[That's not exactly a response to inspire confidence that you're taking him seriously, Leia. Some of Ezra's frustration buzzes through the link for a moment before he goes through with showing her the vision he had, fragmentary as it was.]

Do you recognize any of that?

[He's pretty sure he knows what the answer will be. The buildings are pretty obscured.]

[oratorical]

[Leia doesn't answer immediately, because she's looking over the images Ezra sends, trying to find any sense of familiarity in them. She doesn't want to just say "no" in an attempt to reassure him, because she gets the feeling that immediately dismissing it will do the exact opposite.]

No, nothing there looked familiar. Are you sure it wasn't just some sort of dream?

[lothrat]

I'm positive.

[His mental voice is absolutely as earnest as he can make it.]

I've had a vision before. They're different from dreams. It's- They're more real.

[oratorical]

What happened the last time you had a vision?

[She knows Luke has mentioned visions before. He mentioned seeing her and Han on Bespin, even if he didn't see the entire picture. But whether this is something similar to Luke's visions, or if Ezra has a different sort, Leia doesn't know.]

[lothrat]

You remember Gall Trayvis? The Senator we used to think was on our side? I had a vision about him. I had a vision about him, about how he knew my parents. That was when he betrayed us, only I didn't see that part, just the part where we were getting chased.

But it came true, Leia. It wasn't just a dream.

[oratorical]

[She remembers hearing of Gall Trayvis, yes. There's a lot she's sure she doesn't know, of course, but he's someone she'd seen around in the Senate back before everything happened.

But that's hardly the point here.]

You just said you didn't see the entire thing, though, Ezra. Are you sure this isn't something similar? Could there be something else we aren't aware of?

[lothrat]

Even if there is, isn't what I did see enough to be a warning? You were bleeding, Leia. You were in that rubble.

[oratorical]

I was.

[It's not as if she can deny that much.]

But we don't know how far off the vision shows. I can't simply stay away from buildings until who knows when. It's a warning I'll keep in mind, though.

[lothrat]

You can at least be careful if you see those animals around, though. Right?

[It's something, at least.]

[oratorical]

I can do that, yes.

[lothrat]

[He lets out a breath, trying to tell himself that'll be enough.]

Okay.

Just. Please be okay.

I'll talk to you later, alright?
