"Take a padawan, you should," Yoda remarks casually.
I grit my teeth. First Qui, and now Yoda -- I thought I might be
able to escape my thirties unscathed. "I am considering it,
Master. The boy I brought to the Temple seven years ago--"
"Nearly of age, he is. Headstrong, difficult. Turned away from him,
others have."
I can't help but sigh. "I know. I had hoped he would find a more
conventional master, but..."
"Waits for you, he does."
I wince. "I haven't visited him since my return." Things are moving
far too quickly. I can barely deal with a disastrous mission,
running my seminar, and being the target of a politician -- must I
add taking on a padawan to the mix?
See you next Sunday!
