The next few days, Ezra's been sleeping earlier than before, but he was still sleeping in. Hera, of course, wouldn't oppose, knowing how tired and how relaxed the boy should be now that his lenses were off.
One day, Ezra had woken up really, really late. It was almost noon when he woke up, making him panic and almost jump out of bed.
"Oh, kriff! It's late!" he hissed and slid down the ladder. "I skipped breakfast! Ugh, was I that tired?"
"Yeah, pretty much,"
Ezra turned in surprise to see Zeb enter with a plate of space waffles and a glass of blue milk. The boy smiled and sat on the lower bunk.
"Hey, Zeb, good morning," He grinned cheekily as the other sat beside him and handed him his late breakfast.
Zeb chuckled. "Yeah, good LATE morning, kid,"
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Ezra waved him off, taking a bite on one of the space waffles and sipping on the milk. "I keep sleeping in. I can't help it, though!"
"We know, kid," Zeb snickered. "You're just trying to get as much sleep as you lost for the past 13 years,"
"Thanks for the breakfast," Ezra smiled at his roommate as he finished off the rest of the waffles and milk. "Ugh, I'm stuffed,"
"Good. At least you've got enough more energy now," Zeb turned and pulled out the blue chest from under his bunk. "We can FINALLY get to the bottom of this thing,"
"Can we do it up in my bunk, in case Kanan, Sabine or Chopper walk in the middle of our search?" Ezra questioned, feeling a little insecure.
"Sure, why not?" Zeb nodded and got up, holding the chest in his hands. "Even I don't trust that scoundrel-of-a-droid with a secret like this,"
Ezra set the plate and glass down on the bunk then he went up to his bunk, with Zeb following behind him. They sat down, the Lasat being careful as he sat on the top bunk before they slowly opened the chest. Ezra's eyes widened at the contents.
A pile of holo-letters were tossed at one side of it. The other side had a medium-sized maroon box with golden linings while a small, sandy-white sack and a holo-chip on top of it.
Ezra picked up the sack and opened it, gasping at what he found. He reached in and took out two male dolls, one was olive-skinned with dark brown hair while the other was sky blue-skinned with sapphire blue hair. They were well-made, their button eyes cross-stitched along with the rest of their bodies. He gave a little squeeze and felt the stuffings from inside, making the dolls soft and huggable.
"Woah..." he placed them on his lap and grazed the second doll's blue hair. "These are so cute..."
"They remind you of anything?" Zeb questioned, observing the way the blunette was holding the dolls.
"Kinda..." Ezra narrowed his eyes at the dolls as he now held them up to take a better look at them. "They... They remind me of a couple of people..."
{FLASHBACK: Ezra POV}
"Hey, little one," the gentle voice of a young male was followed by a blurry image of olive and brown. "Aw, you're such a wonder, aren't you?"
"He is, indeed," a deeper voice of another male was followed by another blurry image came, but then it was a pure blue with a hint of red. "Our sweet little *En'tisan'sasi'at vn'ini ..."
{END OF FLASHBACK}
"Ezra...? Kid?"
"H-Huh?" Ezra was snapped out of his thoughts to see Zeb looking over at him with worry. "What?"
