It's not really enough to settle Ezra's guilt. Intentions may be all well and good, but consequences matter, too. Still, Qui-Gon is trying to comfort him, and that alone... helps. Helps in an intangible way that makes Ezra burrow into that squeeze a little bit. The warmth of that hold and Qui-Gon's steady presence are like a rock, or an anchor, that Ezra really needs. For now, it'll do.

It'll do until he can talk to Kanan himself.

"Don't your instincts ever lead your wrong?" he murmurs, half protest, but half curious.
