A/N Yay! One of the things I love about having an athletic brother is all the time home alone to hog the computer I get. Yay for me. Anyway, I've entirely butchered Taun We's character again, and since my mom's home, I have to go soon, so the reviewers are Ellenlome and Child-of-Dawn. Okay, so now that I know where I'm taking this I just need a conclusion. Oh well, the end's far off.

"It's very impolite to eavesdrop, you know."

"Anakin, hush. Right now we have to worry about who knocked her out."

"Alright…" the voice, Skywalker, didn't seem too convinced.

"Taun We?" Jinn's voice was kind, a gentle reprieve from his companions' constant bickering. "Are you all right?"

Taun We forced her eyes open and looked at the three Jedi. They were bending over her, looking concerned, although Skywalker appeared annoyed as well, and Kenobi kept shooting him warning looks.

"Yes," she made herself say. "I'm fine."

"What happened?" this was from Skywalker, to her surprise, he actually appeared concerned.

"I don't know. I was just standing there," she glanced around and saw that they were in the same room as she had been earlier, "here, and then I felt someone hit me on the back of my head, then I woke up."

"Did the person who hit you say anything?" Kenobi asked. He and Skywalker seemed to be doing most of the talking, a surprising contrast to earlier.

"I…" Taun We wasn't sure what to say. If she told them, it would be admitting to eavesdropping.

"Taun We." Jinn spoke up suddenly. "We might be able to identify the person if you describe the voice and vocabulary."

"He (it was definitely a man) he said 'it's very impolite to eavesdrop, you know. Especially when someone else is as well.'"

The Jedi exchanged looks, but Jinn was the only one who spoke, saying, "Can you describe his voice?"

"It was deep, and… sort of- gravelly. I'm sorry- I can't explain it any better."

"That's alright," said Jinn gently.

"Did you see him? Even only his hand or weapon?" asked Kenobi briskly.

Taun We shook her head. "He hit me from behind, I didn't see anything."

"Do you have anyone who'd want to hurt you or anyone else who might have been there?" demanded Skywalker.

"None that I know of." Taun We was getting frightened now. Jinn saw that and turned to the other two. "I think we've gotten all we can from her. Did you see any way he could have escaped, Anakin?"

"No," answered the Padawan. "From what I can tell, Obi-Wan came through just after he got to Taun We, and there wasn't anyone there then. No extra doors or windows, no ladders or trapdoors, he just seemed to disappear."

"Odd," muttered Jinn. "He must have some sort of transporter technology."

"He couldn't have gotten very far," offered Kenobi. "Unless it was extremely powerful."

"And we still don't know why he attacked her in the first place," grumbled Skywalker.

"Maybe…" began Taun We, and then stopped, horrified with herself. If there was something she could have thought of, it was certain that the Jedi already had.

"What?" asked Jinn. The three were giving her the same looks they had while interrogating her, as if trying to read her mind. Remembering the stories of the telepathic powers of the Jedi she had heard, Tuan We barely managed to stop herself from clapping her hands to her head.

"Nothing," she muttered, but then suddenly said, "Maybe he didn't want anyone but him to have heard the conversation you had."

She glanced down, waiting for them to say politely that it was a stupid idea, but nobody said anything. Eventually, she looked up and saw that all three Jedi were staring at her.

"How'd you figure that out?" asked Skywalker, surprised.

Taun We shrugged. "I read a lot of mystery holo-novels," she explained, embarrassed.

"Well, it looks like fiction aids truth once again," commented Jinn, giving Kenobi a look.

"Alright, you win," laughed his friend, but then became serious again. "The question is: who would want to make sure that only they heard what we said?"

"Did we say anything of interest?" asked Jinn.

"Not out of context," answered Skywalker, looking confused. "Nothing that anyone would want to keep a secret."

"Especially if they weren't a part of the conversation in the first place," Kenobi pointed out. "Do you think it's someone we know?" he added as an afterthought.

Jinn shook his head. "There's no way of telling. I suppose we'll have to wait until he makes another appearance. Patience, my young Padawan," he added as Skywalker opened his mouth.

"I wasn't going to say anything," snapped the other Jedi, annoyed. "I was just going to comment that maybe we should finish what we came for and get off Kamino. It'll be easier if we have to fight him on familiar ground."

"I suppose you're right, Anakin," mused Qui-Gon. "Taun We, do you know when Lama Su will be available, or were you too busy eavesdropping to find out?"

"I can probably take you to him now," muttered Taun We. If she had been human, she would have turned red.

"Then please do so," prodded Kenobi.

Taun We got up, barely having realized that she had been lying down this whole time, and led them out the door, her thoughts in chaos. She wanted to help these mysterious Jedi, but she didn't think she could face the mysterious man a second time.

Leaving Kamino wasn't an issue. Although she was the administrative aide to Lama Su, not many people liked her and her odd ideas about their chosen seclusion. And she had never felt much attached to her home planet…

They arrived in Lama Su's meeting chambers. Taun We listened as Kenobi and Jinn described the attack by bounty hunter Jango Fett, and his request that his 'son' join him on Coruscant. She noticed that, from what they had said earlier about Kenobi knowing something… more than the rest, they must be leaving something out.

But to her surprise, Lama Su agreed, and the three Jedi left with another Kamioan to fetch Boba. They left Taun We alone with her leader.

"What is it, Taun We?" asked Lama Su wearily, after noticing that she had stayed after them.

"Minister, I…" she paused, wondering how much she could tell him. Did the Jedi want him to know about the attack? No, she answered herself, but, seeing the look on Jinn's face after he saw that she wasn't coming, they expected that she would tell everyone anyway.

But she had to tell him something. After starting a conversation like that, she couldn't just abandon it, no matter what people in stories did. There had to be something she wanted to tell him. Well yes, there was, but could she really do that?

Taun We took a deep breath and voiced her request.
