Aboard the Phoenix Home, post-Fire Across the Galaxy

[jedi_interrupted]

Ahsoka sits at the holoterminal of her adopted quarters and ponders a couple matters she needs to attend to. The rescue of Kanan Jarrus and the rest of the Specters, while a good thing, will cause ripples and complications for the growing rebellion.

The Empire will not let this go without a strong response, but still, Ahsoka can't regret the mission. It was good to see how strong the Rebel Alliance can be. Now they had to be sure it had time to grow stronger yet.

Kanan Jarrus,
I wish to meet with you to discuss recent events and the role I may have played in them. If you are willing, please join me in my quarters aboard Phoenix Home.

Hera,
I feel we should met to discuss matters of the future. I will be in my quarters aboard the Phoenix Home when you are available.

Those communications sent, Ahsoka sits and meditates until she gets replies. Or at least tries. There are other matters she could pursue if needed.

That wry smile stays on his face, and he shakes his head a little.

"I'm not so far gone I can't trust anybody, Ahoska. I got lucky that way."

Hera found him, and after that everything was different.

"But what I'm trying to say is that you weren't wrong. Hera wasn't, either. We got lucky -- I got lucky -- and I'm glad for it, but . . . there was no guarantee we weren't going to lose somebody else, or everyone else."

She bows her head in acknowledgement of his points.

"I am equally glad Hera found you before, and thank you. Still, Ezra and your crew reminded me, and the Rebellion, of something very important; risks must sometimes be taken and saving what we believe in is more important than being cautious."

Kanan huffs out a breath, mouth quirking up at one corner, even as he turns away.

"I know I still have a hard time with that."

[jedi_interrupted]

Ahsoka cants her head to the side.

"With which, deciding if a risk is worth the reward or with Ezra's message to the galaxy?"

[notallofus]

Kanan looks back to her at that.

"I don't like risking anyone."

It's true.

[jedi_interrupted]

"Aside from yourself," she teases before growing serious again. "I wish no one had to risk themselves, but this conflict will not allow it. We face a superior opponent, and risks are the only way we might gain ground."

[notallofus]

"I'm the only one I can risk," he says baldly, shaking his head.

"Anyway. Do you have some risks in mind for your future?"

[jedi_interrupted]

She shakes her head.

"Not at present, no. Right now I want to keep you and your team safe. It will only be a matter of time before we have an Imperial response."

[notallofus]

"I give it three days," Kanan says, and he sounds tired.

"You know how much they hate being shown up, even in the little things."
