"I think it's an important part of every padawan's training to get into some kind of trouble. Not all the time, mind you! But I would be lying if I said I didn't rankle my master's ire every now and again."
Obi-Wan didn't promote the idea of padawans running about and doing everything they wanted regardless of their duties and their studies. On more than one occasion he had to scold Anakin for being haughty and neglectful. But just as important as it was for a padawan to learn discipline and respect, it was important to be willing to take chances. Not at the expense of others, naturally. But a Jedi who was too afraid to take action was just as bad as a Jedi who was too quick to take action.
As for Exar Kun, well, perhaps with more of them working together, he could be more easily defeated.
I'm sure you know that my grandfather is here.
The statement caused his mind to stiffen for a moment and his stomach to twist into an uncomfortable knot. Obi-Wan hadn't wanted to admit that Anakin might have been the source of that disturbing aura in the Force that he had noticed shortly after his arrival. Somewhere deep in his subconscious he knew that it must have been Anakin. But Obi-Wan wasn't ready to face that. He didn't want to admit to being afraid, but he was concerned. He didn't need anyone to tell him how a meeting between himself and his former padawan would go. He could imagine that on his own.
It wouldn't be a happy reunion by any means.
"Is he ... well?"
Obi-Wan's not so subtle way of determining Anakin's allegiance.
