Maybe we could show up for the last bit of it, then.

[He's all for watching races, but something that slow sounds boring.

Though if he was at all near the pilot's seat, that would be an entirely different story. Ezra lights up at the hint she just dropped.

Wait, no, gotta play this right.]

A copilot, huh? You'd need someone who's used to the way you work. Would help if they knew what kind of technology you were used to, too, so they could help to think up ways to make the tech here match.

[phoenixleader]

Now where could I find someone like that?

[ She chuckles softly, then taps her chin, almost playing with him. Purposely being coy. In her timeline, she still admittedly had Kanan as her copilot. Sabine next. After the fiasco with the first Phantom, well... She wasn't always so ready to trust Ezra behind the Ghost.

But this is a different time. A different Ezra. And whatever ship they found certainly wouldn't be the Ghost or the Phantom. ]

I mean, I do know a smuggler who seemed to know his way around a ship, even if he did have an ego the size of Geonosis...

[lothrat]

[Ezra wrinkles his nose. He's being baited and he knows it, but you know what? It's fun playing along.]

What? No way! You can't tell me you'd consider someone like that! What does a smuggler even know that I don't know better? I mean, about your ships.

[phoenixleader]

Well, he does fly a Corellian model...

[ She's teasing him, of course. She'd never let some two-bit smuggler touch her ship. Any ship. Her crew was her family- and Ezra? Ezra would be her copilot. ]

But I'm joking, of course. Hey, if you're done eating, can you clear the table? I need to go get something.

[ After all, if he's going to be her copilot in this world, he might as well look the part. ]

[Some kids might be used to being catered to on their birthdays. Some kids might expect to get out of chores. Some kids might feel entitled to taking liberties with responsibilities. Ezra? Well, maybe he takes a few liberties himself sometimes, but when he does, it's just because he can be a little irresponsible, or sometimes just because he's distracted. In this case, though, it doesn't even cross his mind to protest. He hasn't had a background of special birthday treatment for years, and it's not like it's a big request.

And besides, she totally just gave in on the copilot teasing.]

Alright, I'll be here when you're done.

[He stands up and starts collecting their plates.]
