R2-Darth2 I can see what you mean. But Obi Wan lives in desperate times. Luke is as much a danger to himself and others as he is a hero. Also, Obi Wan isn't who he used to be. He is still grieving over Anakin and is desperate to not let Luke follow his father's footsteps. I hope this next chapter helps.

Thank youR2-Darth2, sodorland and I love dancefor reviewing. :)

Feeling Luke's pain though the force had taken a lot out of Obi Wan. Right now, as his paced his too-small hut he could nothing but worry about the boy. He'd only glimpsed Luke on a handful of occasions these past ten years, with Owen keeping him away. But what he had seen brought tears to his hardening eyes. Little Luke Skywalker, looking so much like Anakin had.

Obi Wan knew that till the day he became one with the force, and perhaps after that as well, he would carry the weight of the agony he'd inflicted upon Luke. But he'd bear that mantle willingly if it kept Luke safe. Not so much from, the Empire but from Luke himself. He wouldn't let that innocent child become a monster. He wouldn't.

Had Master Yoda been here he would have counselled Obi Wan, given him advice, an alternate course maybe. But he wasn't here, and Obi Wan was alone, as he had been for nearly the past twenty years.

Pulling himself together Obi Wan made up his mind about Luke. He would stay away from him; keep protecting him of course but nothing more. And if the time came to help Luke on his path to becoming a great Jedi, he would gladly guide him along his path. Yes, that was what he would do. No interfering. Like the Jedi of the Republic.

With a lighter heart Obi Wan began on preparing his dinner. It never occurred to him once how much he had changed or how much damage he had caused.

Sorry for any OC, but I wanted Obi Wan to be a little OC. After all, he's still grieving over Anakin in A New Hope, he just hides it better. But to me, when he is alone, Obi Wan is still in denial about Anakin.

Please review. :)
