“If you know of someone who’s never made a mistake, please let me know. I’d very much like to meet them,” Qui-Gon laughs.
His hand retreats to his side, where it hangs relaxed, much like the rest of his posture. The tension from the start of the conversation has ebbed away, leaving the Jedi Master’s more familiar compassionate side at the forefront. Anger and negativity don’t tend to linger when it comes to Qui-Gon. He’s learned to let go of such things a long time ago, the rare outlying situation aside.
“You’re still learning, Ezra. As you experience more, your instincts will develop and you’ll grow from the moments they lead you astray.”
Stars above, Qui-Gon’s instincts have provided him with plenty of those learning opportunities. The smile on his face says as much.
“That said,” he continues, “I expect you to exercise more caution in the future. Understood?”
A small, hesitant smile tugs on Ezra's lips, as much in response to Qui-Gon's smile as to the light jest-that-wasn't-a-jest. Or maybe it was just the unspoken faith in that expectation, that Qui-Gon really thinks he can do better.
"Yes, sir," he says - and if that title of respect is one he used more in the other memories than he's ever done in the real past, well, maybe it's not so bad to be respectful every once in a while, even to someone who's not his adoptive father. "I'll do my best."

What his best would actually be...
Well, they'd just have to find that out together.
