[As sincere as his welcoming questions has been, when Ezra actually gets the list of questions, he laughs with some internal groaning, especially as he reads the early questions. Weapons? Really? A little disappointing. Still, he sets out to answer methodically and clearly as he is capable of, sending back replies a few questions at a time, so Thrawn doesn't have to wait for him to be entirely done.
Sadly, he has nearly nothing to contribute on weapons, per se. The most powerful things he has encountered directly in his travels are more easily classified as magic, or at least technology so far beyond him, it might as well be such.
Although, he does send back a rather pointed 'Are you aware of a weapons project called the Death Star? I would hate to bore with something you may know about in far more detail than I do'
Neither is Ezra much an artist, still, for the most part. Although he does digress into fashion and architecture a little, enough for a few things to be clear, such as - he handmade parts of the clothing that he arrived in, up to an including spinning the thread on the embroidery, which he hand stiched. He's helped build and repair buildings in several settings and styles. And also that he knows a lot about a little planet called Earth that Thrawn may have heard about in the last few weeks.
And for what we learned about ourselves...Ezra concludes with:]
Self-knowledge and self-mastery, I was taught, are deeply help values for Jedi. So I suppose I should thank you for the chance for self-reflection.
What I have learned about myself over the course of the last several years would take far more time and space than I imagine even you have patience for.
As for something I have learned, or been reminded of, about myself while writing *here* - did you know, I had virtually no experience with structured writing, when we met? I wasn't *illiterate*, exactly, but I wouldn't have been capable of even this much organization. Rebel command took my mission reports orally, for the most part.
I embraced the memories of an entirely alternate life, in no small part because in that life, I had a brother. He insisted I get the best education he could manage for me. I wanted the brother, so I held tightly to memories that might have faded more otherwise. But I get to keep this, too.
Ripple effects, when you care about people - something to think about.
What have *you* learned about yourself, in this exercise?

After that, he dutifully gives a brief précis on a species called the Agrii, who may or may not have been responsible for exit from his native timeline, another sets of beings called Pthumerians and the blood magic of their realm, and a creature known as the Fox or Thirteen who operated a plane called Folkmore in a somewhat similar manner to the Admiral and their Barge.
