No, Padawan Kenobi can't see you right now.
Padawan Kenobi is resting at the moment. We've had a busy day, and I'd rather he wasn't disturbed. Good evening, Padawan.
Padawan Kenobi was here earlier. I was just speaking to him. You must have just missed him. Leave a message if you like.
No, I'm sorry, young Padawan. You missed him again. You're one of his friends, aren't you? How well do you know him anyway? No, its nothing...
Yes, it is strange... He has been acting a little oddly lately. He locked himself out today. I heard him pounding on the door and yelling at me to open up, but when I got here he'd dissappeared somewhere. Yes, I'll tell him you called.
Obi-Wan isn't seeing anyone today. He's feeling a little off-colour. I've told him to lie down for a while. Really? You were expecting him to go out with you tonight. Well, no, I've forbidden him to leave. I don't want him running around with his friends, where I can't keep an eye on him. Not when we have so much to do here. He has to get some rest.
I'm sorry. Come back some other time.
Hello there, my young friend. No, I don't think he's up to seeing anyone just yet.
Are you the one who left the mark? The passion mark on his neck? No, it's none of my business, of course, it was just such a shock to see it there, bloody on the cream of his skin. I know he's of age but I'd assumed he was an innocent. I'd thought, perhaps foolishly, that he was saving himself for someone.
I should have known really, the way he shut me out of the bond occasionally, the way he would moan to himself alone at night. Ah well. Growing up to be a fine young man, he is. I forsee he will be a great Jedi Knight one day.
No, he still doesn't want to see anyone. Not even you, young Padawan. He's feeling a little miserable. Did he tell you? He broke up with his paramour. My Padawan and I had a little talk, and we agreed that he should wait a while. He was a little upset about it, but don't worry, I'm sure he'll be over it soon. Young love, eh? Fickle and fragile. Everything is so dramatic at that age. You have to be as old as I am to appreciate a true and abiding love for someone.
Why don't you come back in a few days. I'm sure he'll have forgotten all about this mysterious lover by then.
Back again so soon? Really? That long, was it? This is getting to be a habit, my young friend. No, you've missed him again. Why don't you go and ask some of those others he hangs around with? They're always dragging him off somewhere, distracting him from his lessons, interrupting his training, eating into his meditation time. Its getting so that he's never around when I need him anymore.
So go look for him with his friends, and when you do see him, send him back to me. These rooms seem empty without him, so cold and quiet. Yes, send him back to me.
You again.
Let me just step out here and close the door for a moment. I don't want to disturb Obi-Wan. He's resting right now.
I would have thought an intelligent young Jedi like yourself would have worked it out by now. He doesn't want to see you.
I sense an unusual amount of suspicion in you. Why is it so hard to believe he'd want to stay in with his Master, occasionally? We're very close. I talk to him all the time. He's such a thoughful apprentice, sitting there quietly, mulling over my words.
Why don't you just take the hint and leave us alone now?
Why are you back again? I thought I told you last time, he's not interested in seeying you any more.
Obi-Wan's private life is his own, but its only fair to tell you that we are lovers now. Yes! That surprises you, doesn't it?
Of course, he laughed at me at first. Spat my love back in my face like the little whore he is. Just because I confronted him about his carryings on behind my back.
But you see, clarity of perception is a Jedi trait. I knew he wanted me. The way he looked at me sometimes, the way he walked. The way his tunics oh-so-accidentally gaped open when we were sparring. The way he had begun to blush, and hide his body in the shower when he realised I was watching him.
It was the way he tried guiltily to sneak in, reeking of sex, that made me finally see that he loved me. As if I wouldn't realise! He wanted me to notice the evidence on his body! He wanted me. He denied it, but he wanted me. And then it all came out, the lust, the shame, the longing and I made him mine. He cried a little, tears of joy, but I held him tight, and soon all crying stopped.
We're happy now.
You're going to go away now. You will forget this little chat and not bother us again.
You're back... And you've brought Masters Windu and Gallia with you.
I see.
No, I didn't try to influence you last time. That would go against the Jedi Code, wouldn't it? What makes you think that I would do such a thing?
Obi-Wan? He's lying down.
No. I said, you can't go in.
Leave him alone, can't you? Can't you see how tired he is, how fragile? Look how pale he is. Leave my Padawan alone. Leave us alone, together. No, don't wake him. You can't wake him. I've tried and I've tried and he just won't...
Please. Leave me alone with my Padawan.
