[Ezra's just as glad to leave the topic of Anakin behind, at least as much as he can. His mood lightens a little with Obi-Wan's question, much like any kid when someone shows interest in something they designed.]

Yeah. So I can use it without people realizing I'm a Jedi, or if I need to defend myself from someone too far away for me to reach. I'm not that good at deflecting blaster fire yet, so it really helps. Kanan figured out a neat trick with it, too, for switching the mode in the middle of a fight to catch someone off their guard.

[He traces his fingers through the air above the exposed circuitry.]

See how I had to connect them both to the power core, though? How I have to switch between one or the other so it doesn't overload? The wiring there kind of worried me before, even though I couldn't figure out a better arrangement. He changed it, though, and now...

[Now it might actually be more stable.]

[The pride Ezra has in his weapon is clear, and he should be. A lightsaber is the heart of a Jedi. It was more than just a tool, it was an extension of yourself.]

Yes, I see. That could have been quite a problem, but I think I have a feeling what he might have done. The way it's wired here makes it more efficient and less taxing on the crystal. From what I can see, it appears to be just fine.

[And with that, he snapped the casing back into place and offered the lightsaber back to Ezra.]

Anakin has always been good at fixing things.

[There's a certain fondness that's clear in his voice despite the way he sounds right now. Like a parent who is proud of their child.]

[Obi-Wan's declaration brings an odd mix of relief and disappointment. On the one hand, the fact that his lightsaber is safe to use is definitely a good thing. On the other hand, he's still irked that Anakin altered his saber - without even asking! - and an irrational part of him had hoped to find a flaw or a reason to undo everything he'd done. Without that, he's left having to actually reconcile himself to a lightsaber that someone else has messed with. It's not what Anakin did, it's the principle now.

He reaches out to take his lightsaber back with a sigh.]

Did he ever do that to you? Fix your things without asking you first?

[hadthehighground]

[Seeing the disappointment brings a bit of sympathy, but well, what's done is done. Ezra would have to learn to swallow his pride. Not that Anakin had any business messing with Ezra's lightsaber, though.]

Oh... yes. He would do many things without asking.

[Far more than Obi-Wan could count really.]

[lothrat]

I hope you chewed him out for it.

[Ezra grumbles as he clips his saber back to his belt. Yes, it's petty, and no, it won't do anything for the situation now, but it'll make him feel better knowing someone yelled at Anakin for stuff like this once.]

Thanks, Master Kenobi. I'll let you get back to resting.

[hadthehighground]

Many times.

[Now his tone took on a bit of exasperation and perhaps a hint of regret. There were times he had probably been too hard on Anakin as well.

However there was a tired smile on his face at Ezra's gratitude.]

You're quite welcome, Ezra. My door is always open.

[lothrat]

[Many times. Well, that's something, at least.

Ezra hops down off the bed, feeling marginally better for having talked with Obi-Wan, even if he's still pretty conflicted about Anakin.]

Alright. I hope you feel better.

[That's an honest wish, at least, and the words he'll part with before he lets himself back out of the room.]
