[Surprise Ezra! Have a seemingly random message from one super soldier! Or at least that’s what it appears to be on the video. Obi-Wan having managed to get Steve’s body dressed before reaching out to him.]

Ezra. We have a problem.

[Ezra peers at the screen in faint confusion, before he smooths out his expression into at least appearing calm.]

How can I help...sir?

[Steve fidgets, looking visibly uncomfortable.]

I’m not Steve. This is Obi-Wan.

[Another uncomfortable pause.]

Steve is in my body.

[Ezra's expression goes even more blank for a second, before he blinks slowly.

And that's...interesting. If that is Obi-Wan in Steve's body, is being in Steve's body influencing how Obi-Wan expresses emotion? Or Obi-Wan simply that uncomfortable that he is, for once, visibly fidgeting?

He takes another second to gently tug along their bond, which feels...off, but definitely seems to confirm that Obi-Wan's presence in not..here in the house.

Then he sighs.] I feel like I should ask you something only, uh, you would know, or Steve absolutely wouldn't, or something.

[But he doesn't. His voice drops softer-] Seriously, Ben, how can I help?

[Being in another man’s body, having woken up in bed with Tony Stark of all people, and being cut off from the Force? He’s just that uncomfortable.

Steve huffs and gives Ezra a strained smile.]

I first met you atop that tower in Temba. I was meditating and covered in that ridiculous confetti.

[He then raises his brows at Ezra as if to ask, how’s that?]

Steve is the one that needs your help. You’ll find him in my room. He needs help getting dressed and… handling his new connection to the Force.

[The corner of Ezra's mouth curls up, and he nods, in acknowledgement. Yes, that definitely works. No one else would know the confetti bit, for sure. Then he takes in that last bit of info, sucking in a slow breath.]

...Midichlorians, right. And that means that you're - that's why the bond feels a little weird. [It's difficult for him, at least, to separate the bonds he forms as a Force user, versus other bonds. But it makes sense that if Obi-Wan can't access the Force, in the same way, what Ezra senses from him would be different.]

[Steve nods grimly.]

I can’t sense the Force. Everything feels dead to me.

[Which is difficult for him. He can manage of course, but the world feels like a much darker place. It’s unpleasant.]

Even the familiar bond? [He has to ask.] It feels like...vibrant to me, definitely.

[And he's up and heading to Obi-Wan's room, while he's at it.]

I think it’s there. I feel… something, but it’s different. Not like the Force. I think before it just blended with our previous bond. Now I suppose it’s isolated and I’m not used to that.

[Its definitely hard for him to describe.]

Anyway, I should let you get to him. I’ll be coming over there as soon as I can. I feel Steve is better off staying there until this… passes.

[Hopefully it passes soon.]

I should also contact Satine.

I'm sure she'd appreciate that. [After the initial confusion, anyway.]

I'll go help Steve. [And with that, he signs off.]
