[Ezra's expression falls, dismay palpable through the connection.]

I thought you said in your story that we defeated the Empire!

[oratorical]

[she does feel it, and there's a similar emotion matching that from Leia's side briefly, but she tamps it down quickly.]

We do. But evidently we didn't locate all remnants of the Empire. I don't know much about how it came to be, but when we return, I don't intend to let it happen.

[lothrat]

I'll help. Whatever I can do, I'll help you.

[Maybe he doesn't know what he's doing in the future when Leia's from, but he's sure he can find the time to help with this.]

[oratorical]

[She can't help the surge of gratitude in response to Ezra's words. She already knew he felt the same about changing the future, but it's nice to hear him reaffirm it.]

I know you will. And I'm glad to hear it. Surely, the more of us that try and change things back home, the more likely it is we'll succeed.

[lothrat]

[Ezra smiles at that warmth and conviction, knowing he feels the same way.]

We will make a difference, Leia.

[That's what rebellions are all about. With that affirmation, though, he feels like they can return to the original point of his call.]

So, about that cake...

[oratorical]

I'll be there.

[But since she needs to know just where "there" is--]

Should I meet you at your home?

[lothrat]

Sure, that works.

[Although, that reminds him.]

Um, I'm not living with the other Jedi anymore. One of my friends from my ship is here now. I moved in with her about a week back.

[He'll give her his new address, though. It's a little place that's not all that far from where he used to live.]

[oratorical]

Hera Syndulla, you mean? I ran into her a few days after she arrived.

[Because Twi'leks stand out here. Which is uncomfortable for Hera, she's sure, but a Twi'lek is a very welcome sight to Leia. Especially one Leia counts as a friend and colleague. Too many humans and nearly no other species here is still something odd to her.]

I'm glad one of your close shipmates arrived.

[lothrat]

Yeah, me too.

[The words are heartfelt - so much so, in fact, that the connection between them warms with happiness. Having her here is really the best thing that's happened to him all month.]

Maybe that means some of the others will come here, too, but even if it's just her, I already feel a lot better. Like the future'll be okay, you know?

[oratorical]

I do.

[Granted, both Luke and Han had been here for a while when she arrived, but knowing they were here helped put her at ease.]

Hopefully they do show up. It would be nice to see the rest of them, too.

[lothrat]

If I see any of them, I'll let you know.

Anyway, I'll see you soon?

[oratorical]

Likewise.

[Since there's a chance she may run into them before he does if they show up. But it should be obvious that she'd tell him, since they're Ezra's friends.]

And yes, I'll see you soon.

[lothrat]

[It's obvious, but he still appreciates it. The connection will stay warm clear up until he ends it.]

Alright. Bye.

[Time to go get some cake~]
