''A Padawan, the council grants you, Master Obi-Wan.'' Yoda said.
''Whom have you selected?'' Obi-Wan asked kneeling down to him. They were the only two in the council room, as the rest of the Jedi had left after their meeting. It was quiet.
''Mara Ambee.'' Yoda replied. ''Too old she is, to be properly trained.''
''What do you mean, Master Yoda?''
''Sixteen years, the girl is.'' Yoda admitted.
''Sixteen?!'' Obi-Wan burst out.
''Hush.. Hush young Master. Albraxin, the girl was spotted in. Using the force, she was.''
''Aibraxin? That's part of the outskirts.. What was a Jedi doing there?'' Obi-Wan asked.
''Matters not, it does. Found, the girl was. And become a Jedi, she must.'' Yoda replied.
''But Master, where must I start with the training?''
''A judgement choice, that is.''
Obi-Wan sighed and rubbed his palms together in thought. He didn't know what training a teenager would be like. Qui-Gon hadn't prepared him for this kind of news before his death.
''Where must the girl be trained, Master Yoda?'' He asked.
''Takodana. Lot's of open room, there is.
''And the council approves of all this?''
''Only parts, the council knows...''
''Fantastic...'' Obi-Wan muttered to himself.
''Trust in me, you must have.'' He paused. ''A decision you must make.''
Obi-Wan remembered Qui-Gon taking him in during his first days of being a Jedi youngling. How gentle and at ease he was... Obi-Wan wanted to return the favor to someone. But could he teach someone so old? He had never heard of anyone being a beginning Jedi at Sixteen years old.
''If I were to say yes, where would our training take place on Takodana?''
''An old Jedi castle, there is. Alone and unseen from the village folk, you will be.'' Yoda replied.
''Then I suppose it is settled, Master Yoda. I will train the girl.''
