"So, you want me to stay and baby sit this little ten year old brat that lives on a moisture farm?!" Alexi said in dismay. "I was not trained for six years to watch some kid." His face was turning red from anger.
"Alexi, you need to calm down. I will be here with you. It's not like we are assigning you this by yourself." Yenshu said.
"Well, what about you two?" Alexi asked, indicating Lin San and Obi-Wan.
"We are going to be looking for Xanatos and his friend. If you followed us on this mission, you most likely wouldn't live through it, so stop whining and get over it." Lin San said. All of the Jedi were becoming tired of Alexi's complaining. "It's not like you're being left out of the loop. Your assignment is very imp0rtant. If Xanatos finds Luke before we find him, we are all in some deep trouble."
"Lin San is right. Though what we ask you to do may seem trifle and unimportant, if it is not done, then we are all, well, we're basically screwed." Obi-Wan said flatly.
"It doesn't seem important. It seems like it is just some ridiculous thing to keep me out of the way." Alexi yelled at them.
"If we wanted to keep you out of the way, we would send you to Master Yoda. He could teach you some manners." Lin San mumbled under her breath.
"Lin San, that isn't helping the matter." Yenshu said. Lin San stuck her tongue out at her.
"Wow, and you guys are in the process of calling me immature." Alexi said, laughing at Lin San.
"Alexi, it comes down to this: if you want to be a Jedi, you need to learn to respect the Masters and to take the assignments they give you. It may seem unimportant now, but it is for the greater good, which is what we are more worried about. You may not even see the effects while you are alive, but they are there and you will be remembered for them." Obi-Wan said.
Alexi's face changed back to its usual color and he relaxed his muscles. "Very well Master Kenobi. I accept the assignment you have put before me and I will do my best to keep the boy safe."
"Thank you. We will keep you informed of everything we do and if we think your assistance is needed, we will tell you. The Jedi are not prideful, you must remember that. Pride can lead to the Dark Side, and we don't need anyone else over there. We have enough enemies as it is. Keep in touch with Tzadik. I foresee that she will become a powerful ally and we will need her in the future." Obi-Wan said. After his lecture, he and Lin San left to go to the transport that was waiting for them.
"May the Force be with you two." Lin San called back to them.
"Well, c'mon Alexi." Yenshu said as she put a leading arm around Alexi's shoulders, "We are going to stay at Obi-Wan's place while he and Lin San are out combing the galaxy for Xanatos. It is a long walk, so I hope you rested well on the way back from Alderaan."
"Ah, can't we take a transport?" Alexi asked in a whining tone.
"Well, actually, I think this will do you good. Maybe on the way you could learn to save your energy by not complaining. Do you realize how much energy you waste by running your mouth constantly? It is a lot. You know how much energy you used fighting Lin San a few days ago? Well, that is how much energy you waste every time you open your mouth." Yenshu said in a playful-lecturing tone.
"Y'know what? You have a very cruel sense of humor Master." Alexi said as he shook his head.
"Oh, well. Hey, you know how tired you are of my sense of humor? That is how old your complaining is!"
"Well, do you realize that with the energy you spent complaining about my complaining, we could have flown to Obi-Wan's house and back twenty times?" he said, mocking Yenshu's earlier tone.
"Well then let's shut up and continue our lovely gaunt through the Dune Sea." With that, they both laughed and continued their journey in silence.
