EZRA AND LUKE WAITED ON THE SHIP AS HAN TALKED HIS WAY OUT OF BEING SEARCHED.
"Come on, guys, you really think I'd be smuggling anything?" they heard Han try to defend himself. Clearly the guards didn't believe him and Ezra feared that this was going to take longer than than it should. Luke was also getting antsy and glanced at Ezra as if to say he wanted to -
Let's go out the back.
Ezra nodded and started walking, thinking that Luke said that in his head. But when they reached the back hatch, Luke tapped his shoulder and he turned to see the utter confusion on Luke's face.
"How'd you know?" He whispered.
"What do you -?" Ezra paused. His eyes widened. "Oh. You didn't actually say -"
There was a loud and audible crash of the door being forced open and Han yelling something about rights and "I have them but fine whatever you can look" and Ezra knew they needed to get out now.
"We're coming back to that," Ezra told him and then they ducked out of the ship and into the ferns bushes below. Ezra looked around, his years of being on the streets kicking in.
Ths air strip and ports had ships few and in between. There was a castle in the far distance and there was woods and greenery everywhere in between.
"Didn't Leia say she was a princess once upon a time?" Ezra asked as they ducked through the trees. He kept one eye on the castle as Luke nodded affirmative. "So to the castle then?"
"Onward!" Luke whisper-shouted, pointing out playfully and they started jogging towards the castle. They stayed under the foliage and when they reached the porcelain walls, Ezra started scoping out the area.
"We've got to be careful," Ezra muttered to Luke. "They could have guards any where - what in the world of Malechor are you doing?" Ezra had turned to where Luke had been to find him floating up above the ground.
Luke had a look of pure concentration on his face and he mumbled, "I'm trying to float up to that window," he pointed and Ezra looked up to the one window about 20 feet above.
"That's not going to work," Ezra frowned, deadpanning but Luke seemed to really want to prove him wrong because he kept floating upwards, steady and slow.
Ezra watched him, completely fascinated by everything that was happening. Kanan had lifted him with the force before and they threw each other around with the Force but all of that looked like it had taken a lot of effort and Luke -
Well he looked like he was getting tired but just barely.
How strong are you? Ezra frowned, glancing around to make sure no one was looking.
I don't know!
Ezra whipped around when he heard the clear annoyed voice of Luke in his head. Luke didn't seem bothered by it and he was already at the rail of the window. He stilled and Ezra watched, tense, as Luke seemed to be debating his options.
