[Valentine's may not be a thing in space, either, but Leia doesn't mind doing something small for it to show she appreciates the people she's closest to here. So around Valentine's, Ezra will find a box filled with wrapped chocolates waiting for him. Unfortunately, it contains more than just chocolate.
When Ezra pops the box open, he'll be met with a flurry of glitter escaping the box, since every spare crack in the box was stuffed with tiny red, pink, and silver glitter. It's only proper payback, you see. And at least he gets chocolate out of it. Because Leia is hardly ashamed of this lovely gift, there's even a card with her name attached to it.]
[She's amused. Very, very amused, which Ezra can no doubt feel through the telepathy. She also takes the lack of image as indication that it did indeed cover Ezra in pink and red glitter, so she will take that as a win.]
It's a holiday some of the other otherworlders are celebrating. It sounded nice, so I saw no reason to not participate.
[She absolutely can, and she really only wishes she could see just how much of the glitter actually did its job.]
No, the holiday is about showing your appreciation for those you care for. I don't know that glitter has much to do with it, aside from as a decoration.
[She just. Purposely went overboard with the glitter.]
[Because she may not have been the intended target, but she did still get covered in glitter, and is still finding it all over her house this long after the event.]
And if you say that, you know I'll just expect there to be glitter.
I'll let you off the hook once I stop finding glitter in my bed.
[The bed and the couch are probably the worst places for the glitter, since those are the places both her and Han use often. That's full glitter cloud damage.]
Have you tried picking it up with the Force? Master Jinn's been having me do that since I, uh, accidentally got some on him. It's kind of a pain, not as easy as moving clouds of it, but it's still easier than trying to pick it all out with what you can do by hand.
I haven't ever tried moving anything with the Force.
[because her limited training with Obi-Wan had been mostly meditation (which Leia wasn't that great at, because emptying your mind is hard). The Force isn't something that really comes second-nature to her, with the exception of checking on the status of others. She has to really think about it to use it, and after going so long without knowing how to use the Force, focusing and moving something telepathically is often more of a pain than just doing it by hand.]
[Mild surprise colors their connection. Sure, he knows Leia's pretty new to all this, but for some reason, he would have thought she'd at least learned that much.
It's certainly one of the first things he'd wanted to learn, as soon as he'd found out he was Force-sensitive.]
Want me to come over and show you how? As my apology for getting glitter on you?
[It's useful, sure, but moving things wouldn't have helped in the situation that sparked her interest in learning to use the Force. And plus she has Han to reach for things off the higher shelves now, that's his job.]
[Leia, you need to broaden your mind. Telekinesis means a lot more opportunities than just the top shelf stuff!]
You should make it a priority. It's really useful!
[Then he offers her a mental shrug.]
"Difficult" kind of depends on the person. Some people are better at some things and worse at others. You won't know until you try, and even then... Well, it took me a while to get the hang of it myself.

I am so confused. Glitter and chocolate? What kind of gift is that? And why are you giving me anything at all?

[Yes, Leia can probably fill in the blanks on that statement, what with the feeling of ruffled feathers that Ezra's giving.]
So, there's a holiday that encourages people to give people glitter? You sure you want to introduce me to that?
[There's a hint of a very real threat.]
no subject
No, the holiday is about showing your appreciation for those you care for. I don't know that glitter has much to do with it, aside from as a decoration.
[She just. Purposely went overboard with the glitter.]
no subject
But you're still saying this is the kind of relationship we have. So I should give you the same thing in return.
no subject
[Because she may not have been the intended target, but she did still get covered in glitter, and is still finding it all over her house this long after the event.]
And if you say that, you know I'll just expect there to be glitter.
no subject
Maybe I won't send you glitter, then. Maybe it'll be something else.
no subject
[SHE IS STILL FINDING IT, EZRA. IT WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY. EVERY TIME SHE THINKS IT'S GONE, SHE FINDS MORE.]
Something else?
no subject
If I told you, you'd be expecting it.
no subject
[The bed and the couch are probably the worst places for the glitter, since those are the places both her and Han use often. That's full glitter cloud damage.]
no subject
[Because let's be real, Leia. Glitter never goes away.]
no subject
[She wants to believe that one day she won't wake up with glitter stuck to her forehead or something, okay!!!!]
no subject
[Search your feelings
and your couch cushions, Leia. You know it to be true.]no subject
Well, then. In that case, I think I might just owe you more.

[and really, Han's glitter was likely the problem here.]
no subject
[...]
He did take a shower, right?
no subject
[and really, he probably didn't shower immediately anyway, and instead tracked glitter through the house.]

Is it difficult to learn?

I'm guessing using it to jump is something that came easily to you?
