Obi-Wan sat in his bed digesting everything Qui-Gon had told him the night before. Did he want Qui-Gon to see his mind? His memories? He trusted Qui-Gon, yes, but what would Qui-Gon think? He was being childish he knew and proud.. but he couldn't help it those were personal. Besides he did need help. He almost killed himself last night.. even if it were an accident. He couldn't figure out reality from dream or vision any more. It was all becoming one.
He was back in his room again. Much to the dismay of the healers. But the Masters requested it. Familiar surroundings would help apparently.
Qui-Gon entered with a tray of food. Not that Obi-Wan was hungry. Obi-Wan picked at it. His thoughts were else where. Qui-Gon knew why. "Obi-Wan I know you're nervous but not just anyone is going to see your mind. Only Master Yoda and myself, and Master Windu if you'll allow it." Qui-Gon didn't know what to say to reassure the boy.
Obi-Wan was silent. What could he say? 'no I want to be tortured the rest of my life? Don't look into my mind. Don't help me' That would just be stupid. No, instead he nodded.
But Qui-Gon knew he was still uncertain.
There was a knock at the door and Qui-Gon stood to answer it. Obi-Wan knew who it was. They were expected. Master Yoda and Master Windu just to over see things or also enter his mind. Would it really matter if they saw it? Did they are? They were only going in for one reason alone.
"Oh Bant, Garen what a surprise. I didn't expect to see you two here." Obi-Wan could hear Qui-Gon. Bant and Garen? He perked up.
"We came to help!" Bant said eager.
"Obi is our best friend after all. We're not gonna bail on him now." That was Garen. "Besides after we heard about what happened last night there's no way you can get rid of us now!"
Obi-Wan removed the covers just as the two entered his room. Qui-Gon had gone to answer the door again.
"Hey guys." He said half cheerfully and half surprised. They would help.
Obi-Wan looked up to see his master enter the room with the two other masters.
"Obi-Wan are you ready?" Qui-Gon asked.
Obi-Wan looked to his friends and nodded.
