Qui-Gon didn't agree on being away from his Padawan. Especially when it was hinted that Obi-Wan's stasis went beyond his mentality—whatever had happened back on Tatooine had also affected him physically.
Which would explain his comatose state.
Qui-Gon on the other hand wasn't feeling too keen himself.
The real heaviness of the forced-open bond between himself and Obi-Wan didn't take its toll until the Senate debate. If anything he had expected to fall victim to whatever had "plagued" Obi-Wan. Thus having Qui-Gon be surrounded by Jedi Healers instead of his Padawan.
And he was prepared to do jus that.
Obi-Wan saved his life.
From the Archived Journal of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn
I have never felt so drained of energy.
After the uproar that echoed among the Senators, I chose to retire to an empty briefing room to meditate while the Queen consorted with the Chancellor. There…I surrendered myself to the Will of the Force.
(Short pause)
I scarcely remember that events that took place on Tatooine. Although it was only hours before, it feels to me as if a lifetime has passed.
I need to seek further council with Master Yoda and Master Windu. If all that had been told to me is true, that Obi-Wan—
(Unidentified sound in background)
Tell Her Highness I will be there shortly.
(Another unidentified noise)
It seems the Queen has requested my presence at this untimely moment. My only feeling is the same as her own—that she is concerned about Obi-Wan.
Qui-Gon turned off the recorder before any more unwanted thoughts were voiced. Something this personal was only to be known between himself and the High Council.
Nobody else was supposed to know. Not the Queen of Naboo or her trusted Handmaidens. Even as far as the Chancellor was concerned, no deep matters of the Jedi will ever be made his business.
…not even Obi-Wan was allowed to know.
A sudden thought struck him as he concentrated on regaining his strength back; Handmaiden Padmé. He remembered the sheer intensity of the young lady being a target of the Darkside that nearly drove both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan into a protective stare-of-mind.
This sent him nearly at a run out of the room. A talk with Yoda and Mace was now considered mandatory. They had to know what Obi-Wan did and why.
