After he made his way back to his chamber, he found his awaiting master pacing fretfully back and forth from one side of the room to the other. Anakin walked through the door-frame and closed the door with his use of the force. The low hiss of the door sliding closed brought Obi-Wan's concentrated stare from the adamantine floor to the perception of his apprentice. Anakin walked over to Obi-Wan desperately wanting to fathom how tight the security measures were and if his master had come in contact with the council as of yet. Anakin spoke first "How was everything?" he queried referring to the security.

"It couldn't by any chance become anymore secure then it already is to my surmise, but that doesn't assuredly mean it could keep whatever threat away from senator Amidala. Captain Typho has his men at every entryway of this building, armed and equipped at any cost for if there is an encounter with an assassin though I'm not so certain if all that has been done could still keep senator Amidala out of liabilities way," he said with his crucial frankness.

Obi-Wan sighed immovably sensing Anakin's inpatients and seeing how he would change his posture every few seconds. "Yes Anakin, I have spoken to the council and they have given us current instructions. They wish of me to return to Coruscant to attend all of the senates sessions to see if your suggestion about an unknown source that may lye within the senate. You are to remain here on Naboo with the senator and protect her with your life and the council also wishes that the senator will agree to be taken some place very much isolated where none of her colleagues, including her security may know her whereabouts. Do you understand?" Obi-Wan arched his right eyebrow and crossed his arms below his chest.

It was the most skeptical and most impeccable arrangement Anakin had ever heard of in his entire life. He speculated why the council had granted him an assignment on his own without any strings attached whatsoever. "I understand master. I'll speak with the senator first thing tomorrow, but when does the council expected you to depart for Coruscant?"

"After everything is sort out with senator Amidala, which I hope is by tomorrow morning because I plan to entrain the ship right after notifying her of the councils appeal. I expect for you and senator Amidala to be out of this senatorial and retinue reside by midday tomorrow or sooner if feasible. This is a heavy burden for you Anakin, but I trust you can handle all that comes along. I know you are capable in doing this assignment without a doubt in my mind. Your possess exceptional skills among most Jedi, but you still must always not be to sure of yourself and please keep all of your priorities as they should be. I anticipate nothing more of you as does the council. I will leave you to get some rest and see you in the morning. Goodnight Anakin." Obi-Wan left for his own chambers leaving Anakin to think rationally about how he would control what was now his responsibility.

Dragging himself over to his canopy four poster bed, he sat at the side removing his Jedi tunic, leather field boots and lightsaber from the claps of his belt placing it on the side table beside the bed. When he only remained in his sleep pants he laid himself back down where he had earlier and entered a restful sleep just minutes after his head hit the feathery filled pillows.
