Kanan's pov

Ezra and I woke up early to do training. I told him waking up at this time will refresh him. He didn't agree with me, but still woke up.

When we went outside, the sun was not even up yet.

"Ok, today we will be deflecting blaster shots. It will be put to stun so it won't hurt you." I say.

"It will still hurt Kanan, but it won't leave a wound." Ezra says.

I roll my eyes. "Anyways, here is my light saber."

I hand my light saber to Ezra and he looks disappointed. "When will I ever get my own?"

"When you are ready." I say. Ezra rolls his eyes and activates the saber.

I shoot at him and he misses. He keeps missing for a few minutes and he looks annoyed.

"Ezra you need to focus. Have the force be on your side, not against you." I say.

"I'm trying Kanan." Ezra says.

"Do or do not, there is no try." I say.

Ezra groans. "That's like the millionth time you said that."

I sigh and continue shooting at him. He blocks a few, but I could tell from his yawns in between the shots that he is tired.

"Why don't we end training from here and rest." I say.

Ezra doesn't even hesitate to hand me back my saber and run inside. It looked like he was in a rush.

He must be really tired.

Time Skip

I was meditating in my room when I heard someone knocking on my door.

"Come in." I say and the door opens to reveal Hera.

"Kanan can we talk for a second?" She asks.

"Sure, what is it?" I ask.

"It's about Ezra." She says in a worried tone.

That suddenly brought my attention. "What's going on with him?"

"He keeps talking to someone when nobody's there." She says.

That's strange. I just saw him this morning and he seemed fine.

"What could be happening to him?" I ask.

"Maybe Ezra is feeling lonely. When you see people who aren't really there, it's called imaginary friends." Hera says.

I'm gonna have to talk to Ezra about this later. "Thanks Hera."

"No problem, and please make sure he's alright." She says and walks out of my room.

"I will." I say and go into the common room.

I see only Zeb in here. I thought Ezra would be in here too, but right now I'll talk to Zeb first.

"Hey Zeb? Since you share a room with Ezra, can you tell me what exactly he is saying to his imaginary friend?" I ask.

"The kid doesn't really talk to his imaginary friend around me that much. I'm sure it's nothing." Zeb says.

That's when Ezra comes rushing into the room looking for something.

"Ellie? I can't find you. Stop hiding from me." Ezra says looking under the table and leaving right after.

"My mistake. The kid has a problem." Zeb says rubbing the back of his neck.

"He doesn't have a problem. At least now we know the name of his friend." I say hopeful.

"Well, I'm going back to bed." Zeb says going to his room.
