Hannibal hadn't noticed anything different yet today himself. He'd heard the radio, which had made him cautious, but it wasn't as though he made a habit of lying to the cats, or even to Jono these days.

So, he was staying inside for the moment and working on new wedding preparations. It wasn't as though things could go bad that way, after all.

"Please. I will very rarely turn down more coffee," Kanan replied, smiling faintly. "It's no caf, but it still isn't bad."

Yeah, even on honesty day, coffee rated a paltry 'not bad.' It wasn't the same!

"Oh, yeah? He from there, or...?" Kanan's curiosity was piqued, now. Not just because of the caf, granted. But hey, it was no secret that he wanted to get back there, was it?

Kanan knew immediately that turning the conversation toward those airquotes was a bad idea. A terrible idea. Why the hell was he opening his mouth, then?

"I take it you aren't a fan of the Jedi?"

Frack.

Kanan swallowed heavily, looking unfomfortable. The best thing to do would be to keep his mouth shut, here. To listen, to not make any indication at all that he knew what Hannibal was talking about. So, to that end, what he was going for was a noncommittal, "Ah."

What came out of his mouth instead, of course, was, "Master Skywalker always had a reputation for being impulsive."

Kanan went pale.

"Roughly," Kanan confirmed, darting a quick look toward the doorway. No reason. "It would have been difficult to avoid hearing stories of Master Skywalker during the Clone Wars. Or any of the Jedi Masters, for that matter."

He was standing up. Right now. This was Kanan pulling himself to his feet.

Kanan's jaw clenched, almost imperceptibly. His hands were white-knuckled into fists, his senses screaming at him to bolt or attack or something. He'd said too much. He'd said too kriffing much and they weren't even on an inhabited planet. His home galaxy was Force only knew where. There was nowhere to run.

His tongue feeling like lead in his mouth, Kanan sat back down.

"Wouldn't want to insult you by leaving," he said, because at least that much was true. Hannibal hadn't done anything. "It's not a topic I discuss readily with anybody. There's too much history there."

"You would hardly be the first," Kanan muttered, frowning a little and then pulling in a breath. Okay. Calm. There is no p--

He wouldn't fall back on that. He couldn't, even if he wanted to. There was passion, and thinking otherwise got tangled in his mind's eye and came out sounding more Sith than Jedi. He swallowed, and then tried to say something useful.

"I might have... some passing knowledge of the methods of the Jedi. I can tell you right now, your friend is probably with some Jedi order from the past, compared to me. They were all but wiped out in my time."

"Thank you. There were records, of course, of ancient Jedi history, but I don't know when Master Skywalker," and Kanan wanted to kick himself for being unable to call him anything but that, "would have had the time to read them. And the libraries are probably long gone. I can't imagine the Empire was terribly concerned with preserving them when they were busy destroying all traces of the Order that they could find."

He sighed, looking slightly upset. He hadn't talked openly about this with anybody, with the exception of Master Kenobi, since his days with Kasmir.

"There are some things that I can tell you about the Jedi, but in that much time, it's difficult to say exactly what I'd get right. The galaxy has changed a lot in a few thousand years."

Kanan did, at least, take a moment to look appreciatively at the plated food. It was far less stressful than having a candid conversation about the Jedi.

Far less.

He made a reach for his fork, and nodded, and even let himself take a few bites - pausing briefly after the first to inform Hannibal that "This is easily the best dish of flat things and fruit I've ever had," - before leaning back in his chair and looking up at the ceiling.

"Okay, maybe first I should ask what you do know about the Jedi, yourself."

That was actually a fairly impressive summary. Kanan's eyebrows went up as he listened, and then, once Hannibal was finished speaking, he nodded.

"Close," he replied. "You're right that they're some sort of order, and while I wouldn't call them religious in the same way most faiths work, there is a strong sense of faith and devotion in the Force - a power that connects all living things. Not everybody can make use of the Force, some people are born with a sensitivity to it. Most aren't. But those who were born Force-sensitive were taken in by the Order and raised in the way of the Jedi themselves, taught to use the Force to maintain order in the Galaxy. To protect those people who couldn't protect themselves."

To go to war by fourteen. As one does.

"The Jedi were supposed to live humble lives, hence the robes, but, uh, the food thing is news to me." He gave a wry quirk of a smile. "Maybe the Jedi of a few thousand years ago were just lousy cooks."

He didn't know. He'd never met any.

"And the Sith..." Kanan frowned. "The Sith are the opposite of everything the Jedi stood for. Where the Jedi embrace peace, the Sith embrace passion. The Jedi valued knowledge over the Sith's quest for strength and power. The Jedi draw from the Light side of the Force, and the Sith pull from the Dark. I wouldn't say all Jedi have a fanatical loathing of the Sith, but there sure as hell isn't any love lost between them."

"Some were. Mostly those who joined later in life, if for some reason the Order didn't find them when they were young. Most - the younglings, most of the Padawans - are taken pretty young. It wouldn't have been uncommon for a Jedi to not remember their homeworld, or their family."

Instead of saying more about where he stood on that, Kanan shoveled some more food into his mouth.

"Like I said... Master-" dammit, "-Skywalker had... a reputation. He's kind of the exception, not the rule. You've met Master Kenobi? The Jedi were more like him, ideally."

He tilted his head, and then added, "And there have been Jedi who have left the Order. Before the Order was taken down, I mean. By choice. The Jedi were a lot of things, but they did understand the importance of following the path the Force set before somebody."

"Yeah, though people think of them more as legends, now. It's been eight years since anyone's seen a Jedi, but anyone who was there during the Clone Wars know what we did."

It was really a matter of time before that word slipped out, wasn't it? Kanan paused, and then pressed onward, as if maybe he could hide the fact that he'd said it by just... powering through.

He was already making plans to skip down the moment the island moved to another inhabitable planet.

"The Emperor went out of his way to slander them, to label them as traitors so that he could step up and take power in the wake of the war. But the Jedi have been around for thousands of years, keeping the peace. They aren't exactly some well-kept secret."
