Thank you everyone :)
In the Library, Jocasta Nu was carrying on with her normal duties or watching students in their studies ensuring a strict policy of study only and minimalist socialization. She nods greeting Obi-Wan silently as he proceeds towards the back of the temple. He uses the Force to manipulate the control panel to his will. The large metalloid door rolls its way right revealing yet another busy room.
A large reptilian Jedi stands up and says happily, "Obi-Wan!"
"Hello, Master Stratus."
The Jedi master embraces him in a tight bear hug, the Knight returning the gesture.
"So what can I do for you, my friend?"
"Well actually it's the Council giving you a mission."
The Jedi uses the Force to bring a scroll towards the study table and he replies, "The Jedi Council realizes I'm a scholar, correct?"
"Well it's really a request from Qui-Gon."
The scroll drops on the table as he stares back at Obi-Wan and he says, "You mean, in spirit or by voice?"
"He appeared to me when he gave me this message. I approached the Council about it, but they figured you would be willing to accomplish a task for Qui-Gon."
The Jedi scholar turns around scratching his small chin, "Normally it's the receiver of the message to carry out a spirit's mission. Any straying from the spirit's instruction leads towards destruction of some sort, potentially death."
Obi-Wan replies, "However a former master of the dead Jedi or somebody close can take place. The Council is just afraid I might be emotionally inflicted. I'm sure it won't be too much trouble."
"Isn't that where that Sith caught you?"
The Jedi Knight recalls the incident and then the painful wound his master received to the abdomen, the pain is almost clear as the day it happened. He sighs and nods his head until he feels a large pair of claws embrace his shoulders, Obi-Wan felt like a Padawan once more.
The beast replies, "Any excuse to get out of this chamber though, I'll take it!"
The Knight counters, "Are you sure you can handle the outside world, Stratus?"
He chuckles, "It's been a while, but I'll be fine. Go, worry about your mission. I understand you have a student to keep track of."
"Indeed, may the Force be with you."
"You as well, friend." The beast of a man returns as he gathers his gear out of his desk while Obi-Wan leaves to conduct his own packing of equipment.
At the quarters Anakin is raiding the kitchen portion of the quarters fulfilling his adolescent appetite. Obi-Wan enters the room shaking his head in amusement as Anakin stuffs a Dantooine roll into his mouth. The Jedi Knight announces, "Anakin, we're on another mission this time?"
Anakin tries to speak, but the roll in his mouth blockades most of his speech causing Obi-Wan to groan, "What did we say about talking with your mouth full?"
The Padawan quickly swallows the roll and he asks, "You mean the Council trusts me to go outside the Temple this time?"
"Yes after much grief." The Knight teases
"Ok, officially the only incident I'm guilt of is sneaking off with you to Naboo, 3 years ago."
Obi-Wan looks inquisitively at Anakin who then emphasizes, "I did say officially."
The eldest teacher nods in amused agreement, "Yes, that is what you said. That means you will be on your best behavior here because from the briefing I read on the holomessage sent to me, each of us will be with a Senator for tonight's mission."
"You mean as like...body guards?" The teen sighs
"Yes, I'll be with Senator Bail Organa and you'll be with Senator Padme Amidala."
Suddenly the Padawan freezes and he asks, "Who did you say?"
"Senator Padme Amidala, were you not listening?"
"Isn't that the Queen?"
"For star's sake Anakin, she's...wait a minute...she was the queen. Interesting." Obi-Wan looks at his tablet chuckling.
"You two are about the same age too."
Anakin groans, "Now you want me in trouble."
"I trust your training will suit you well, Anakin."
"Well then how come I'm not a Jedi Knight already?"
Obi-Wan laughs as he packs his utility belt with a coil of nylon, "In time, Anakin."
"So set me up guard duty with an attractive woman is the trials?"
"Sounds cruel, doesn't it?" The Jedi continues to taunt his student.
"Maybe this life isn't for me." Anakin sighs causing a panicked look from Obi-Wan who looks over to see a mischievous smirk.
"That isn't funny, Anakin!"
"It's funny to see your face when I say that."
"Just get your belt packed, we have a long trip in a few hours."
If you review, be honest, do you see a relationship growing between Obi-Wan and Anakin (Jedi/Student no homo -.-), And if yes, should I include a flashback of their previous missions?
