MCA #3, Friday Evening, After Dark

[uncertain_dume]

It had been all too easy for Kanan Jarrus to fall asleep on the couch that night after the sun had set, with a dog curled up at his hip, feeling, if not secure, at least relatively comfortable in his surroundings. It had been a long, long while since he'd been afraid to sleep, after all

Ahsoka was trying to get used tot he idea of opening wearing lightsabers again headed back to the dorms after spending the afternoon working on her ship when a nudge from the Force, had her frowning and looking up (and up) at the side of the apartment building, an unlit lightsaber in one hand.

A foothold there, and a handhold there, and... Caleb sighed and thumped his forehead against the outside wall of the building. He was too tired to just climb all the way down. And that animal he'd woken up beside was hanging out the window, whining at him. At this rate, if him just hanging off the side of a building didn't give away the fact that he was here, the creature sounding loud and pathetic just above his head probably would.

Caleb gritted his teeth, and then, with a deep breath, planted one foot on the wall and pushed himself off of it, landing in a seemingly effortless crouch on the ground.

And then he looked up to see... the lightsaber, first and foremost.

Caleb blinked.

"What...?"

He wasn't the only one caught off guard, though Ahsoka was at least slightly better at concealing her surprise at appearance of a vaguely familiar youngling.

"I know you," she said, trying to place the face and Force presence. "From the Temple."

Caleb's gaze went from the lightsaber to the hand that was holding it. Then up to the face of the person who was speaking to him. A familiar face, if not one that he'd ever really spoken to, before.

"I... I know you, too." He pulled himself to his feet, swayed a little, and then reached up to run a hand through his hair. "You're..."

He hesitated, not sure if he wanted to go with 'Master Skywalker's Padawan,' or the much simpler, 'alive.'

"I'm awake, right?"

It had been a very, very long few days.
