Anakin doesn't push. He lets Ezra pick apart his feelings and listens carefully. Hearing Ezra mention his own master makes Anakin's heart ache in sympathy.

You're never ready to lose your master.

"I could technically pick up your training but..." Anakin thinks about how to articulate this. "I'm not what -- who -- you need."

Ezra needs someone who's more experienced than he is. Wise and kind, older and more like a proper mentor. Ben from Temba. Obi-Wan from the Trench. But neither are here. And Anakin is at a loss.

He continues, gently.

"That's not a rejection, by the way. I'll help however I can."

He just wishes he could do more than be a sympathetic ear.
