The sound of crates clattering from a neat stack into a haphazard pile resounds from the cargo bay, followed shortly after by contentious voices -- and bleeps -- raised in a chorus of 'he did it'.

Kanan rests his face in his hand for a moment, eyes closed.

"Do you think they'll clean it up, or are they going to pretend we couldn't hear them and have no idea who could have made the mess?"

They can get back to mission planning in a minute, and should. But --

Hera nods, eyes turning back to the floor. "But isn't -"

She lowers her hands, folding them between her knees.

"Wasn't part of that why you weren't supposed to have attachments?"

"Does it make you feel better to think of it that way?"

He is, after all, sounding calmer now.

"That's a start."

She leans back, looking up to the ceiling, needing a break from Kanan's eyes. "I don't know. They're so young."

Hera sighs, then amends. "Two of them are young. But so was -"

She cuts that off, her eyes closing. "So were we."

"Maybe."

She opens her eyes again. "And I guess I can't completely blame Zeb. We all had our ways of getting here."

Though she will blame him when it comes to cleaning up her cargo bay.

Hera looks back at him. "Do you think he wants to fight with you?"

"Ezra doesn't have another student to share what he's going through," she says, nodding slightly.

"And you don't have another teacher."

Hera smiles very slightly back. "I know."

It fades as she blinks away again. "But I think that's a challenge for anyone who's a -"

- parent, she can't help but think first.

"- teacher, or a leader. It feels like you can't be frustrated, or uncertain. You can't let them see you like that, because they're always looking to you."

"Do I feel like I have to be that way?"

She blinks back to him. "Why do you think I shoved you in here."

"We were both panicking."

She'll admit that now, anyway.

"But I saw both sides of it, with my father. The way his followers saw him, and - times when he couldn't be that."

"I don't know."

She's not really sure that she understood, before something like this.

"Sometimes it felt like we knew different people."

"I'm sure my younger self would've driven us both crazy."

She is sympathetic to her parents, thinking back on that. "But I'm still not sure it's helping me see a way to ... avoid the same mistakes."

"We all make our share of those."

She takes another deep breath, then looks over to him. "Kanan, I know this won't make it easier, but - you know he respects you, right? That he looks up to you?"
