After placing his ysalamiri onto a nutrient pack, Obi-wan strapped it onto his shoulder than snuck out of the room from the Jedi Masters. Once he was out of the room he nearly bumped into Count Dooku, the old Jedi master's hair was almost completely grey now with only spots of brown.
"Padawan Kenobi, are you in a rush somewhere?" Master Dooku asked
"I'm just going to see the Sith Apprentice and make sure he's ready." Obi-wan said
"Be careful with whom you trust Padawan. Especially those Sith, the ones with the problems can do the most damage to a young mind like yours." Master Dooku spoke
"Don't worry Master Dooku, I am sure of what I am doing. Even Master Jinn and Master Koth support me." Obi-wan said than bowed
"If you will excuse me." Obi-wan left to the lower level.
"I'm sure Master Jinn does." Master Dooku hissed under his breath than walked into the room.
"Master Jinn, may I have a word with you?" Master Dooku spoke from the doorway.
"Ah, Master Dooku, of course!" Qui-gon placed his ysalamiri back in the cage. "Do you need some Master Dooku?"
"Tell me you truly are not encouraging your padawan to be hanging around that Sith Apprentice." Master Dooku sighed
"He believes he is doing the right thing. If it fails than it will be a lesson for him." Qui-gon spoke
"I understand you concern my old master, but Obi-wan is ready to be knighted. If he believes that he is doing what is best, than who am I to stop him? He has to learn on his own now." Qui-gon continued
"I can sense that this mission has something to do with that dark presence we all felt. I am positive if the whole council knew about this they would be sending you in with your feeble minded apprentice." Master Dooku commented
"Are you saying that you have a problem with the way I teach my Padawan, Master Dooku?" Qui-gon's tone didn't shift, but the two Jedi Masters could feel the tenseness of their situation.
"He is even more rebellious against the council than you ever were, my old padawan, and I fear that him being around this Sith will cause him to fall. You have already lost two padawans to the Dark Side Qui-gon. Do not Obi-wan be your third. Perhaps you were just never meant to teach padawans." Master Dooku struck a cord in his old padawan.
"Obi-wan is strong with the light side. All he wants to do his help this apprentice. He believes that if he is successful that it his learnings will be able to help rehabilitate future Sith Apprentices if the Sith happen to rise again." Qui-gon hissed at Master Dooku.
"And if he fails his mind will most likely be weakened by this Sith and he will fall." Master Dooku concluded
"Obi-wan will show you different Master Dooku. Once he rehabilitates this Sith and stays with the light side, we will have proved you wrong." Qui-gon said than turned away from Count Dooku and walked back into the room to get ready.
