Kanan:
"Ezra, now that you have your own lightsaber I should probably tell you something my master told me. As did her master before her and his master before him and so on." I say taking his lightsaber in my hands. "This is not just a weapon used for fighting. It is a weapon of peace keepers. This lightsaber is more than just a tool for a Jedi it is your life. As such don't lose it."
"You know that sounds a little hypocritical coming from you. I stole that thing like three times the day I met you guys." Ezra says.
"That's different, and it was only twice. First of all I never lost it. I knew you had it every time. Remember I caught you the first time. The second time I let you steal it."
"Keep telling yourself that master."
"Can you please be serious Padawan? I'll admit I might not have realized it right away that second time, but it only took me a second to realize it. Besides I did give you the choice to keep it or be trained."
"True. Ok, so my lightsaber is my life and I shouldn't lose it." He says taking it back from me. "I wasn't planning to anyways I just made it."
"Ezra, I don't think you understanding the seriousness of this. A lightsaber is one if not the only attachment a Jedi is allowed to have." I say.
"But if it's the only attachment allowed then what about friends, family, and the master and Padawan thing? Also weren't you trying to get me to connect with those Lothcats and fyrnoks?" He ask.
"Well, family is an attachment. That's why we were not allowed to have them. Friends are a connection not an attachment. That's what I was trying to teach you with the Lothcats. As for our relationship... that's a bond. As master and appreciate we are bonded together through the force. Understand?"
"No, what's the difference?"
"That's kinda hard to explain. A connection I guess is something you're willing to let go if you have to. Attachments are much stronger. They are always there and are hard to break. Like the relationship between your parents and you. It's never really gone even though you haven't seen them in years." I explain. I might have made a mistake mentioning his parents. Ezra turned away from me.
"So even if we find them..." he started to say but couldn't seem to finish.
"Ezra, I never said that. The order might have forbidden for you to have contact with them but I'm not. There are always exceptions to rules and I'm sure your case would be one. If we do find them then you're going to have to make a difficult choice. No matter what you choose you'll always be part of this crew and my Padawan." I say grabbing his shoulders.
"So if they are alive I'll have to choose between them and the crew? I don't know if I can." He says.
"Yes, you might but you will have to choose whether to continue your training or not. That brings me back to bonds. Bond, especially force bonds like between us are hard to break. They're similar to attachments but they're out of our control. Once you are bond though the force with someone you will always have a connection to them. If that person or object is gone you can feel the void it's absences leaves." I say. I debate on if I should continue. He needs to know this though. If I get captured or anything the rest of the crew will need to know if I'm alive or not. He needs to know what he'll feel though the force if that happens. "If they are alive you can trace them. Especially if they are hurt. A bond unlike an attachment you can scene what they feel. You know when something is wrong. When that person is dead it's like a part of you died with them. At some point you have to know when to let them go. For most masters and Padawans that was when the Padawan was knighted."
