"Expand your senses. Remember these words: I'm one with the Force. The Force is with me." Ezra calmly enunciated as he walked between Luke and Leia, both concentrated on their daily meditation.

Since they started this voyage, it became clear that there would have been a lot of time to spend on the Amerigo. So it was the perfect opportunity to start teaching Leia to use her affinity with the Force.

 They were in a small, empty room that was actually used by the psionics aboard the ship to meditate, as well

Ezra was using his own connection to the Force to detect how much the twins were progressing. Clearly, Luke's energy was a bit more focused, while Leia was still at the beginning, but her presence was still that of a visible, although small, spark.

He could tell that they were slowly entering in contact with the Force. Getting a glimpse of its infinite mysteries.

"Luke. What do you see?" Ezra patiently asked.

Luke squinted his already closed eyes a bit more. "I think...I see a trail. It must be my path...but it's surrounded by...darkness." he then reopened his eyes. "Well, guess it's nothing new, for now."

"Very well." Ezra said, then turned his head on the other side. "What about you, Leia?"

Leia squinted her eyes a bit harder and didn't answer immediately. Her head wandered around a bit, as if she was trying to follow something.

"I'm not sure. It's all a bit blurry, but I think...it's a woman. I never saw her...yet she feels...familiar?"

After saying that, Leia opened her eyes again, allowing Ezra to express his opinion on the matter.

"Perhaps she was someone you've been looking for."

Leia stood up as well. "Who could that be? I'm not looking for someone, right now." she asked.

"Are you sure?" Ezra asked. "You've been quite agitated since we talked about your real parents..."

"I refuse to acknowledge that!" Leia bursted. "My parents were Queen Breha Organa and Senator Bail Organa. I don't care who sired me."

Ezra gently raised his hands in a peaceful gesture. "All right, let's not talk about it." after all, Leia's reaction was a pretty eloquent answer to his question. He then checked out his clock and realized a thing. "We should be in sight of Kessel within the hour, you better get prepared."

The twins nodded and then headed out together. Only Ezra remained into the room as he could feel that he had someone waiting for him. He knelt on the floor and closed his eyes, quickly reaching the necessary focus to speak with these persons.

Indeed, soon enough the ghost of Master Kenobi and the unmistakable presence of his old Master appeared in front of Ezra's mental eye.

"Considering the situation, you're handling it quite well." the voice of Kanan echoed in an encouraging tone.
