"She was just worried about Rae." Ezra had responded.

Kanan nodded in response, but his head immediately snapped back around to look down to Rae who's hand had slowly made it's way to his. "Hey, how are you doing?" he asked quietly as her eyes opened the very slightest. "I-I'm ok, but my ankle could say otherwise." she responded. Kanan smiled, letting out a small chuckle and he patted her hand the very slightest. "Well, you'll be staying on the Ghost for a little while until you're healed completely and can get back into action." he said. Rae gave him the pouty lip and he just ignored it, because it was the same look Ezra would give him at times. 

"Don't give me that look. You have to get rest or that ankle will stay poofy like a puffer pig." at that statement, Rae burst into giggles as she imagined her ankle and a puffer pig. Hera smiled as she walked over and sat down next to Kanan, taking a look at him, Ezra, Rae, Zeb and Chopper. "Well Kanan, I think you found her giggle button." Hera said, smiling at Rae. "Yes, I guess I did." 

Later that evening, crutches were given to Rae, so she could move around without putting pressure on her ankle, but then she wouldn't have to lay around all day.  Chopper, Ezra and Zeb were all there for support in case she fell. Ezra was to her left, Zeb to her front and Chopper to her right. She giggled as she saw all of them trying to help her out. She appreciated it as they all had offered and all wouldn't take no for an answer. 

"Guys, you know I only need one of you to help me walk. I honestly appreciate the help-" she was then cut off when Ezra started talking. "We are perfectly fine with helping you." Rae shook her head and smiled. "Alright then."
