Jedi Master Yoda, diminutive in size but great in power, gazed down at the small child held in his arms. She gurgled up at him, hands trying to grab the Master's ears.
Yoda offered a small smile to her and gave her back to her father. Obi-Wan pulled her close, and smiled at her. She gave a happy coo back before Obi-Wan turned his attention to the Master.
"Know what this means, you do. Keep her you cannot. Against everything the Jedi stand for, it is."
Obi-Wan sighed. He had been fearing this. "I know, Master, but..."
"Love her, you do." Yoda interrupted softly.
Obi-Wan could only nod a response.
"What about the Council, Master Yoda, couldn't we present her to them? Not as Obi-Wan's daughter of course." asked Qui-Gon
The old Jedi was thoughtful a moment, considering Qui-Gons words.
"Present her to the Council, we will. Tomorrow, you will bring her to the Chambers."
"Thank you Master." said the two other Jedi, bowing quickly and turning for the door.
"Wait." said Yoda, his voice calling after them.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan turned.
"Name, she does not have. Need one, she does."
Qui-Gon looked over at his Padawan. "Well?" he prodded softly.
Obi-Wan gazed down at the small bundle in his arms, her young face blissfully asleep.
"Tali." he said softly, almost to himself, "Tali."
