The Student becomes the Teacher
Ezra watched his young apprentice attempts at using the force. Briefly, he began to wonder if he was asking too much from the child. He shook his head. No, he could do this, he could train Caleb despite never finishing his training.
"Caleb, lift that bowl up," he ordered. A flash of bewilderment came to the child's eyes but the child nodded, trying to tap into the force. The bowl shook as the apprentice tried to lift it up.
"... I'll try Master," Caleb responded, trying to steady the bowl as his face scrunched up in concentration. He was so focused in what he was doing, that he almost dropped the bowl at what his master said next.
"Do or do not... There is no try!" Ezra exclaimed, his hands on his hips. He tried standing taller, in a more demanding stance. Maybe this would show that he had somewhat of an idea of what he was doing.
"What?" As Caleb tried to keep the bowl floating in the air, he looked at his master with confusion spread across his face. "How can I do something without trying it first?" He questioned. It seemed like a bunch of nonsense! You have to try something to do it!
"Uh...." Ezra opened his mouth to explain, before closing it again. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he realized how dumb that actually sounded. With a sigh and a shrug of his shoulders, he finally gave up the act of an imposing teacher. "That always confused me too.... But Master Yoda used to say it all the time," Ezra admitted, his a hand going behind his head.
Caleb sighed, putting the bowl down. "Master... Can I ask you something?" The Padawan asked, looking at his Master.
"You kinda just did, but sure," Ezra answered, a soft sigh coming to his lips as he pondered how to actually train the boy. Using what Master Yoda had told him when he was younger didn't work... And Master Yoda had been training Jedi for years!
"You've... Never had a Padawan before... Have you?" Caleb asked nervously. He didn't want to make his master upset, and Ezra didn't actually talk about other Jedi much.
"... No, you're my first Padawan," Ezra answered. Worry filled the Jedi's eyes as he looked away with a sigh. "... Why don't we take a break for a little bit, okay? You did great." He tried to reassure Caleb with a grin, but it didn't work. The boy looked upset, as if he had did something wrong.
"I'm sorry if I had upset you Master..." Caleb said, looking down.
Ezra sighed softly, placing a hand on Caleb's shoulder. "Look, it isn't your fault, okay? I'm just trying to figure out the right way to teach you.... And I have no idea how to train a Padawan... I'll figure it out, okay?"
Caleb nodded, still feeling a bit upset. He walked out, going to the room he shared with Zeb.
Ezra sighed, watching Caleb go. The doors from the cockpit opened, and a woman with blue and orange hair walked in.
"How's the training coming?" She asked, leaning against a table.
"I don't know what I'm doing Sabine... Can I really train him?" Ezra asked, doubt creeping in his mind.
"Of course you can," Sabine says. "You're a Jedi."
"I never finished my training, I'm still a Padawan just like him," Ezra replied, closing his eyes.
"You're not gonna give up, are you?" Sabine asked, raising an eyebrow at her friend.
"No! Of course not!" Ezra exclaimed. "I-i just... Am I really the best teacher for him?"
"What was that thing you told me about? That connection between you two?" Sabine asked looking at Ezra.
"A force connection, one that is formed between a Padawan and master... It was used to match up a Padawan and a master together," Ezra answered, looking at Sabine.
"So the force is telling you to train him," Sabine answered.
Ezra paused, before smiling a bit. "Heh.... Thanks Sabine..."
"You're welcome," Sabine smirked. "Why don't you get to bed? Even Jedi need to sleep."
Ezra smiled a bit, putting his hands up in surrender as he walked back to his cabin.
