„By the way, where is Rex? I mean, if he doesn't know...?" Anakin asked.

Ahsoka sighed. „He knows. Instead of you Rex listened when I told him about plants and trees. And even if doesn't remember the ones to eat, at least he remembered that ones warning you of immediate danger." she explained.

That didn't help Anakin confusion. Not even a bit.

„When did you ever tell us about plants? I mean, I didn't even know you know how to survive out here"

Now the young Togruta was a little bit angry.

„I told you two like every time when you asked about my culture! Oh wait. Rex was the only one doing it. You always went away, 'cause it was to ‚boring' for ya."

The Jedi-Knight bit his lip. He'd never known it would actually be something that would be useful one time... he always thought of it as some old-times stuff, no one needs to know.

Apparently he was wrong. And now he was pretty thankful, that his Padawan didn't thought the same way, he did.

„I'm sorry Snips" he apologised. „I should have listend to you, and respected your culture"

Ahsoka looked up, when she heard, that her master apologised.

She'd never expected him to say such a thing, especially not to her.

"Thank you" she replied, and smiled.

It made her happy, that there was one person less in the Galaxy, with prejudices about her people.

"So... you said weapons is the task of today?" Obi-Wan interrupted the two.

"Yes" Ahsoka said "I know how to craft some. Not only spears, but arrows and bows too. And when we get lucky and find some sharp stones in the right shape, I could make us replacement knives in case ours will break. And if we get really really lucky and find even better stones, than we could make saws. That will make it easier to craft certain things"

The other two nodded.

"So at first we'll need the most important thing of all. Wood. So the two of you will have to go and collect branches again. But Master Kenobi, you're going to collect firewood. Even if weapons are important, we still need a fire, so we can roast the fish. Otherwise we would starve sooner or later. SkyGuy? For the weapons we'll need long and thin branches. Such ones as my spear. Get as many as you can till midday. Then bring them back, and I'll tell you what we'll need next for the bows"

Both nodded again. Then Obi-Wan walked in the forest, to collect firewood.

"And you know how to shoot with a bow?" Anakin guessed.

"Yep" Ahsoka replied, still whittling the stick to a point.

"And you're going to teach us?" Anakin went on asking.

"When the bows work, then yes" she answered.

Then Anakin turned around and went to get more wood.
