I had immediately went to my room and had taken up my airbrush and began to craft my newest idea, this one a bit different that what I'm use to doing. Ideas for me were many places, and during missions, I'd often did find different and cool ideas to keep in mind. I always try to do my best to keep the most important details in mind because it made all the difference in how my work came out.

The best work was the ones with details, but not always complicated and complex details. There could be beauty and elegance in simplicity, something that I have learned applied to not only my own art or even my own work in general. Complexity was overrated, and people could easily forget that.

Elegant. Beautiful. Those were two words that could be just as easily used to describe that Kaidon's fighting. In all my years of fighting, I had never seen someone fight so many enemies, and do it with a fighting style that might just be an elegant dance. It was graceful, flowing, and smooth, not a moment of hesitation, not a moment of mistake. Just a single non stop movement that could reduce an entire battalion of bucketheads, and with absolutely no trouble and without a scratch, but I do admit, his outfit is just a bit messy from the rather messy way he took them out.

I honestly couldn't get a better look at what exactly he was doing because between him fighting in a fast pace and us fighting the remainder, I couldn't really focus my attention on him fighting at the time. Might as well been a blur of nothingness really. Oh well, I guess maybe another time, I can stare.

The hallway is relatively quiet with the occasional sound of Ezra and Zebe being argumentative as usual. They two get on each other's nerves just because they can. I know they don't hate each other like they use to, but hey, it's better than what it use to be.

I remember the first week or so that they spent together. It was a bit...counterproductive to our missions, and I might be exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea. The most annoying time I can remember was when Ezra, one day, had been particularly irritating to Zeb and they both chased each other from one end of the Ghost to the other. Along the way, Ezra stopped in my room to hit on me and then to use one of my cans of spray paint to try and stall Zeb. I had to break them up, give Ezra a punch on the shoulder and kick them both out, and I was even more annoyed when I saw that he'd used a can that I saved for special occasions.

Took me a while to get over that one, and they're still annoying now and then, but everyone's learned to tune it out or simply cope with it. It doesn't bother me as much as it use to, well except for Ezra who can get very annoying at times, but I've kind of gotten use to it, for the most part. Might as well be as casual as breathing. The key is to avoid them both at all cost when it happens. Sometimes, leaving the ship and going out for some air is the best way. Sometimes, I just lock the door tight.

The colors begin to flow together as the work comes together to form the image that I want. It's sort of a symbol drawn from podracing along with some nature-like environment inspiration. It's kind of something that's out of this galaxy, but hey, artists can really be whatever they want. Besides, it's a change from my usual work. Reminds me of my earlier days, being reckless and hectic. Most of what I work on has been a bit casual, nothing extremely outstanding, but this time, I'm getting the idea for something that I haven't thought to do. It might take a while, considering it's an experimental project, but I'll take a challenge anyday

The sound of walking down the hallway comes to my ears and I turn my head for a second before I see Hera and Kanan, their expression looking...well, I don't know what they're thinking. Their looks could mean a lot of things, and honestly, I don't know if I should acknowledge them. They might respond, they might not. Maybe a simple nod would do some good if they looked my way.
