No ones p.o.v.
  It was about 22:00 on the ghost and everybody was turning in. "Night" Kanen said as he to left the cockpit to go his cabin. That left Hera and Ezra and Hera was, as always, flying the ship. Zeb had been 'feeling down' as he said and had turned in early. " well, I'm gonna go to. Night, Hera" " goodnight Ezra" Hera turned her attention back to the console after turning around and Ezra left to his and zebs cabin. He climbed to his bunk as quietly as he could trying not to wake the sleeping lasat. Once settled down he sensed that zeb wasn't asleep but was actually quite awake which confused him. " zeb?" Ezra whispered careful not to wake up the crew and just in case he was sensing something wrong. " yeah kid?" Zeb didn't even sound asleep and he could tell. " are you okay?" Ezra was actually genuinely concerned about his buddy for once. " corse I am kid, why?" " you just seem...Down. what's wrong?" Ezra was facing the sealing as zeb was facing the bottom of Ezra's bunk. " I'm fine, Ezra. And even if I wasn't how would you tell?" Ezra leaned over the bunk and looked at him. " do I really need to answer that?" Zeb looked up at him and after a while said " ....no." Ezra laid back down and carried on the conversation. " so, what's wrong." " nothing for you to worry about, kid."  " zeb, please, I want to help. You can talk to me." Zeb sat there for a while and Ezra assumed he was thinking. " it's just a rough time kid"  " you wanna talk about it? Kanen always said that talking about it helps." " and is Kanen always right?" Ezra thought about it before answering." No, but it always helps me when I'm sad, so spill." Zeb finnaly gave in and shared some of his past with Ezra. " I was in the honerguard on lasan, Commander to, when one day the empire came down and decided they wanted another planet to destroy. We stood and fought but it was no use against there armies. They used t7 ion disrupters to clear my home world and none other than agent kallus came and finished off the last of us but I managed to escape. Now we know that I wasn't the only one but back then I was on my own. I went to kessel and hid out there. That's where I met Kanen and Hera. They took me in and we fought the rebellion and eventually met Sabin and finnaly, you." " wow" Ezra was shocked by all the information"I'm so sorry, zeb" zeb was surprised by Ezra's sympathy. Growing up on the streets for 7 years you would expect him not to care much about others. On the streets it was either provide for yourself or die. There is no trust because trust leads to betrayel."it's in the past kid, It's fine. By the way thank you. You know maybe just once you might have been right." "About what?" " talking about it did help" Ezra smiled to himself at his accomplishment " I'm glad. Goodnight zeb." " night kid." Zeb rolled over and finally  he fell asleep peacefully without being plagued by his past
