[Hmm. Be a smartaleck, facetious teen? Or just give her an honest response?
Well, he is trying to talk her into letting him give her lessons on jumping, so maybe he'll go for slightly more mature.]
Discipline and focus, if you want a broad response. He lectures me about that all the time. If you want something specific, though, then I'd have to say lightsaber training, or just self-defense in general. I've even seen him take out stormtroopers with just his hands and feet, not even using the Force.
[It's not hard to imagine Kanan lecturing Ezra about discipline and focus. He probably could've used a lecture on that before starting this whole glitter war. But, she's amused anyway, the warm, fond feeling of that transmitting through the connection easily.]
All the time? I can't imagine you ever needing a lecture on discipline or focus.
[Leia probably doesn't know this, but Ezra's not that bad at mimicking other people's voices. He draws himself up and deepens his voice, adding sternness to it for good measure.]
You lack discipline and focus, Ezra. If you'd been doing what you were supposed to be doing, this wouldn't have happened at all. Now start over, and remember to focus.
[He drops the act, reverting to a normal, if slightly grouchy voice.]
Like it's easy to focus with Chopper throwing food cans at my head.
[it's been a long time since she's heard Kanan speak, but from what she remembers, Ezra's mimicking of his voice isn't all that bad. Aside from, she presumes, the extra sternness added for emphasis.]
So droids throwing cans of food at you is another proven Jedi training method?
[Ezra makes a face that she can't see, though he makes no effort to hide the irritation and exasperation he feels.]
I'm not sure that's a Jedi method. That one may be just Kanan's and Chopper's. He thinks it's good practice for focusing even when there's other stuff going on around me.
[Because she knows how droids that have a mind of their own can be, and she wouldn't be surprised if Chopper didn't beep back any arguments about this training.]
[she has no way of knowing for sure, and rather than dwelling on that more somber (in a way) subject, Leia decides it's for the best to change it slightly.]
You can build your obstacle course here, and I can practice using the Force to throw cans. I think that'll benefit both of us.
[Don't let Ezra fool you, Leia. He misses Chopper, even with as aggravating as the little droid can be.]
Actually, that sounds like a great idea. I could use the practice dodging food cans, and I'm willing to bet you can think of a few people you could use this skill on later on.
Great, I'll call you when I have something set up so we can have our first lesson.
[Ezra may regret this later.
But ultimately, only a little. All the glitter backlash in the world can't dampen his enthusiasm for sharing the experience of learning to use these abilities with a friend.]

Has it helped you focus better?

He thinks it's helped. I'm not so sure.
[But it's always harder to see progress in yourself than it is for other people to see it in you.]
