And it's not possible for Qui-Gon to have grown any taller--he's done with growing, much to the relief of other humans he'd grown close with over the decades, and if anything, people at his age start shrinking. Again, that would probably come to the relief of many other humans, save for those who take advantage of his larger than average stature like the occasional fruit merchant with too-high shelves and too-big boxes.
So that left only one other explanation, considering Ezra's meticulous reconstruction of the last left of their duel.
"You've gotten shorter."
Looking at him now, Ezra does look smaller than he should be, and after marking the boy's growth over the years with ticks on a door frame he's pretty certain that he's allowed commentary on the matter. To confirm it, Qui-Gon steps forward, well into Ezra's personal space--a factor long since irrelevant since their makeshift family came together--and stands in front of him, placing the edge of his hand on his chest, right where Ezra should reach, using himself as an impromptu measuring stick.
