Ezra was having a difficult time understanding. Understanding what you ask?? He had recently returned to the Ghost after his little adventure on Lothal with his master; his parents....they were dead?? He had found out nearly five days ago and ever since he and Kanan had returned to their crew, Ezra either locked himself away in his cabin or sat silently at the main good of the ship, staring at the holo-photo of his parents with a younger version of himself. He spilled may tears during these times and it saddened everyone within his crew. They had all attempted to talk to their youngest member, but it was no use - the kid refused to speak and seemed to not even hear them. However, Zeb had finally had enough!! He understood loss - as did everyone else - and he didn't want to see his young friend waste away during a time of grief; he had seen far too many people fall because they had lost someone they loved dearly and he wasn't about to see his little brother do the same thing!! Don't get him wrong, grieving is a good thing but not when you've spoken to no one, eaten nothing and done nothing productive in over five days!!

So on that note, Zeb left the cockpit where he had been sat and made his way through the ship till he reached the teenager's cabin; he entered the override code - he managed to convince Hera to give it to him after telling her his plan to talk to the boy - before entering the room. He found the fifteen year old sat on his bed, his back leaning against the wall as he clutched his bady blanket to his chest; his head was seating on his knees, tilted to the side so that the 'intruder' couldn't see his face. "Look kid....I know what you found out a few days ago is difficult for you to accept - it would be for anyone" Zeb began as the door closed behind him "but the other's and I...we want to help you....help you get through this tough time as....as we're your family Ezra" he reassured; the lasat sighed as he stared at the cornered boy. Ezra finally - though with much hesitation - turned his head to face his trying friend to reveal his tear stained face. He looked so.....broken. "Oh kid" Zeb couldn't stop the sympathy that leaked through - he knew Ezra didn't like to feel like he was being pitied; the fifteen year old spoke up, his voice barely audible "I....I miss them".

As the boy's heart breaking singing came to a tearful end, Ezra couldn't fight back the tears any longer and broke down; Zeb wasn't all that good when it came to things relating to affection and comfort - no shocker there - but he could tell when an embrace was needed. And that moment was now!! Sitting beside the sobbing teenager, Zeb wrapped his arms around his friend and pulled him to his chest; Ezra practically melted into the warmth of comfort - he had no idea how much he needed some form of comforting touch. "I know you miss em kid" the lasat spoke softly - which was incredible rare for him - as the fifteen year old cried "but you've got Kanan, Hera, Obi-Wan, Sabine, Ahoka, Anakin and I too help you through it - heck, even Chopper's willing and wanting to help" he revealed; Ezra listened as his tears continued to fall against his wishes "and we're not going anywhere...I promise" Zeb finished. Hearing his dear friends words actually some what calmed the force user as his sobs had eased to whimpers "thanks Zeb" he attempted a small smile as he returned the embrace; the older crew member smiled, relieved his comforting had actually worked "you're the best". The compliment was actually rather heart warming "anytime kid....what's a big brother for??".
