He didn't realize when he'd grown to love her, and he didn't realize when he'd grown to want her, but now that he had these feelings he didn't know what to do with them. He remembers the day she arrived at the temple, she was small, maybe six. She'd been found abandoned and had been bought off a slaver that had claimed to have seen her first. She was small even for her age, and he wanted to protect her. He saw the way the other younglings looked at her. They had parents they had been taken from, homes and families and people. A mix of jealousy and distrust and dislike. That's how it was with the little ones. A Jedi must learn to control their emotions.
