The air of the archives was always a bit colder than the rest of the library, and Jai shivered when they came in. Obi-Wan headed straight for the maps of the galaxy, but Jai noticed Ran and went to talk to her.
"Hi, Ran! What's up?" Ran sighed.
"I got into trouble in that Intro to Mind Tricks class, and now I have to research the person who discovered it. I hate that class!" Ran looked around the library. "And it's so huge in here, I can't find anything!"
"Did you ask Madame Nu? She'd probably help."
"Yeah, but then she'd lecture me on getting into trouble in the first place. I've been lectured enough today, thanks very much."
"Check the really old sections. Those records haven't been touched in, like, a million years."
"Kay. Thanks!" Ran headed to the back of the archives. Jai went to where she had seen Obi-Wan go off to and arrived just in time to see Madame Nu storming away from him. He looked slightly ashamed, but also kind of proud of himself.
"What'd you do now?" asked Jai as they left.
"Turns out that Kamino doesn't exist, according to Madame Nu. But I want to check in the galaxy map room just to be sure. Dex wouldn't give us false information, and, well, he's been around." Obi-Wan laughed.
"Now what?"
"Just that Madame Nu has really ever been proven wrong about anything. Nor has she been told that a planet not in her archives exists." Jai gaped at him.
"Thought you were a meticulous rule-follower, not a rebel who tells off the Masters! That's me and Anakin's job!"
"I'm not a rebel."
"Yes."
"I'm not arguing with you about this. Let's go back to the Temple." Obi-Wan walks too fast. Not everybody is a speed demon like you, thought Jai. She quickened her stride to keep pace with him.
"Rebel." she called. He stopped and turned around.
"Jai, there's plenty of names that I could say to you, and rebel would be the nicest of them. C'mon, little sister, I need to ask Master Yoda something."
"Whatever." She gathered the Force around her and took off into the Temple, Force-speed making her easily outrun Obi-Wan. Once she reached the younglings' hall, she stopped and marched into her room. Obi-Wan and she had just had their first sibling fight. Jai didn't like it. They were supposed to get along.
