It hurt to breathe. The pain, dulled by medication, was still agony. I could feel broken bones, knew blaster wounds were infected.
Not the stellar triumph I'd hoped for on my first mission.
Qui-Gon, as always, was arguing with the medics.
When he turned to me, he had a worried little smile, quite unlike him, and his eyes were suspiciously bright. If I didn't know better, I'd swear he was fighting tears.
"Next time, try not to get yourself killed."
"There… is… no… try," I murmured.
"Yes, Master Yoda," Qui-Gon intoned, pseudo-somber, then his smile turned brilliant. "Welcome home, Obi-Wan."
