Obi-Wan walked through the halls of the Temple, and braced himself for the worse. He passed the council meeting room and headed right for Yoda's chambers. He tapped on the door and walked inside, finding Master Yoda and Master Windu in conversation.
Without turning around, Master Windu spoke.
"Something troubling you?"
Obi-Wan nodded, drifted across the room and faced the window , staring beyond its view to something unknown. Master Yoda could feel the hesitation within him.
"I have something to tell you. And it won't be easy," Obi-Wan started.
Yoda nodded and leaned against his cane. Still, Obi-Wan did not turn to look at them.
"There are things I intentionally left out of my report, of my assignment to spy on the Corellian pirate in Runei."
"Things?" Mace queried, lifting an eyebrow. "You seemed to spare no detail about Kaivo Xha. This, I presume, has something to do with your assigned courtship of his daughter?"
Obi-Wan nodded. "The assigned courtship…" he said. "Produced a child."
Yoda shook his head. "Known this, we already have."
Obi-Wan turned, "You knew?" Far be it from him to hide anything from the Jedi Masters.
"We wanted you to tell us in your own time. You did the right thing in coming forward," Mace said.
"I'll be expelled from the Order."
"This mission was assigned to you. The collateral couldn't be prevented," Mace answered.
Obi-Wan expelled a gust of air then clasped his hands behind his back.
"I was thinking…" Obi-Wan started coyly… "The boy could be brought to the temple."
"Allow this, his mother will not," Yoda said.
"I will convince her," Obi-Wan said. "It will be for his own good."
"Bring the boy. We'll raise this issue before the council."
"Will they know of his parentage?"
"This matter will not be recorded. Or made known to the council."
"Thank you, Master Yoda, Master Windu," Obi-Wan said with a bow of his head.
"Obi-Wan?" Yoda called. "End this courtship, you have?"
"Obi-Wan's eyes fell to his feet. "I'm trying, Master Yoda."
"There is no try. Do," he said.
"Thank you, Master Yoda," Obi-Wan muttered, then walked off.
Mace stared after him. "I have a bad feeling about this," he said.
"As do I…" Yoda grunted.
