"Um Hera. Isn't the base the other direction?" Sabine asked.
"We're not going to the base just yet." Hera answered.
"Then where are we going?" Zeb asked.
"I asked Commander Sato for some time off. I figured we could use a break. Especially after what those two went through." Hera said gesturing toward the hall that Kanan and Ezra where in. "That and I think it's time you kids meet Gradma." She adds slightly laughing.
Zaluna hated being called that as much as Kanan had always hated being called kid. However that's what this seventh unofficial member of the crew was often referred to amongst the Ghost crew's two co-leaders. She had told Kanan and Hera to come visit last time they saw her. That had been six years ago now. They had never found the time but now With both Jedi on temporary medical and mental leave and the rest of her crew members dealing with the repercussions of the Jedi's mission that scared both her Jedi and killed a third this break was well needed as much as earned. Rex tagged along to get away as well, but only for support.
"Go prep for landing we'll be there soon." Hera commanded.
Zaluna was sitting under the tree in her yard. Skelly's tree as she so often called it. She often thought back to the time when she could see, to the time when she met her so called adopted family. The two human men and the Twi'lik girl that had saved her home planet and it's moon.
"It's days like this Skelly I miss them. I miss you too. I wish Hera and Kanan would visit for once. It's been so long." Zaluna said to the tree. She had never once seen it or anything in this yard but she knew it was there.
"Then it's a good thing we're here." A familiar male voice said.
"Kanan?" The blind woman said.
"Nice to see you again Zaluna." Hera said.
"And Hera. You better have let him join you or else." The older women started to say.
"Kanan?" A strange young male voice asked.
"You brought others with you?" Zaluna asked. "Come here child. Let me see you."
"Yes, Kanan and three others have joined me. This is Ezra. The other two are inside. Your helper let us in." Hera explained.
"He's just a child." The older women said.
"I'm not a child." Ezra said.
"Maybe not in sprit, but in years you are. I can feel it. Now Kanan let me see you." The woman said. "You've changed."
"I have." Kanan said. Zaluna took his face in her hands and felt a mask.
"You're eyes why do you cover them like mine?" She asked. Ezra froze when she asked this.
"It was my fault. He was blinded because I trusted someone I shouldn't." The child said.
"I don't think it's anymore your fault child than it is Kanan's or Hera's fault for my blindness." The woman said. "After all I'm sure you didn't do this yourself."
"No... " Ezra started.
"Than it is not your fault at all. Besides you know it can be treated right? He can get his sight back." Zaluna said.
"Isn't that exactly what I told you?" Kanan ask.
"It is. Unless you've seen enough like I have. Your still hiding something from me Kanan." She said. "This boy is close to you. Almost like a master and Padawan."
Hera burst end out laughing at this comment. "Love I think you should tell her." She got out between laughs.
"I thought you said she was an old friend of both of yours. She doesn't know about you being a..." Ezra started to ask.
