Oh poor Obi-Wan.  I actually cringed when those younger Padawans started speaking of Bruck and Telos. Your characterization skills were especially evident in this post; you drew such vivid individuals in the apprentices so quickly and deftly.
Garen and Bant were sweet, being so concerned.  I hope silly Obi-Wan is able to come to his senses, although that doesn't seem like a possiblity just now.
Wonderful, engrossing post.

All I can think of to say is... "Poor Obi!"
I hope he doesn't get in too much trouble.
And I really want to strangle those who said such nasty things about Obi!
Master! Why are they so mean to Obi!?
Still ever Devoted,

I'm so glad you're continuing this story, P_A. You have a real gift for depth of characterization and mental angst - very nicely done.
Obi-Wan drew a deep, shuddering breath, holding both palms to his head, trying in vain to ignore the rancor that appeared to have taken permanent residence there, and was now hacking into his skull. “Enough,” he spoke, his voice shaking. “Enough.”
Loved the metaphor, but what is happening to Obi-Wan?

Poor Obi-Wan. I loved how Garen moved to interceed with his friend, like a mother hen defending her young. I can imagine just how unhappy the padawans were to be confronted with an angry Garen. Good job with Obi-Wan getting weak and having a headache and just being his stubborn self.
Loved it. So what is going on with him?

Oh, wow. Intense chapter. Loved Garen calmly rescuing his friend's honor. Great work. Update again soon.

 It updated! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this to pop up, and it remains absolutely wonderful! Poor Obi, still tortured about Bruck...
Great update! Your writing is just beautiful and it just keeps getting better the more I read! I hope you update again soon; I want to know how he does against that...well, marble thing. I can't go back to find the proper name...

I'm starting to fall behind...  Real life can do that!
What is happening to Obi-Wan? Those dizzy spells can't be good!
I absolutely loved Bant and Garen in this chapter. They're such great friends.  Poor Obi... Tell me I'm crazy ... but those curious mid-level apprentices are kind of sweet - on a twisted level. I mean, I can totally identify with them: the defiance and suspiciousness.
Do we get to meet Schen soon?
... off to read Crossroads now.

Garen  - He was sweet defending Obi-Wan.
Ick, Obi-Wan doesn't seem well. He's going to be okay isn't he?

I finished reading this yesterday, but I was so fried (babysitting two children - aside from my two) that I didn't dare try to review it. I figured I'd make absolutely no sense whatsoever (okay, less than usual).
This has been a delight. It's writing like yours that makes me want to give up (at least until I learn to write better). I'm anxiously watching to see what happens next.

P_A... for goodness sakes you sure now how to bring the drama. An excellent post, per usual. Love your Garen and Bant. What a treat to see them around again!
I'm curious to see what is wrong with Obi-Wan though. Is it just an unusual reaction to the Ischila... or have you been plotting something else?
When I saw an update on this I just about leapt out of my seat- I positively adore this story!
Wonderful job, again, and can't wait to read more.

Poor Obi-Wan, that conversation just brought up a bunch of bad memories. And with him so weak already, no wonder he felt so faint. I love how Garen and Bant defended Obi. 
Wonderful descriptions. Great job as always! I'd like to meet Schen, and I hope Qui won't be too hard on Obi for leaving.

"These things are difficult to conceal…I imagine half the padawans know, by now, and a good many among the Masters.”
Obi-Wan looked mildly stunned. “Half the…but how?” He demanded. “I’m sure Qui-Gon wouldn’t have told—and the Council…” He stopped.
Garen raised an elegant eye-brow, noting the first name usage—Obi-Wan had never referred to his Master by anything but his title, before.
Are you surprised that their relationship has grown, Padawan Muln? 
Thank you so much for continuing this!
I read the first part of it before I had my own email address, and couldn't comment... 
And then I lost track of it! 
When I found it today, I was ecstatic! 
I just reread the entire story, and know this will be one of my all time favorite fics! You have such a grasp of the characters, and I could take up a page in quotes if I were to attempt to go back, so I won't... 
More, much more, please!

Oh, Obi... 
I enjoyed how you wrote the gaggle of Padawans (I especially liked how Garen put Yoda's in his place). Obi-Wan appears to be developing some dark tendencies (e.g. quick to anger) as a result of his battles with the sphere, and his fear and guilt also seem to be heightening. I would be very interested to see how he copes against such things, especially his constant assumption that he is not worthy.
I'm sure Qui-Gon is not going to be happy about Obi-Wan's disobedience. I'm worried that with all these out of control thoughts and emotions that Obi-Wan may say some things that he will regret and yet be powerless to stop it...

Gee. I'm only two months late in my review. Better late than never, right?
What a very interesting set of developments. Garen and Bant pulling rank on the mid-levels was pretty amusing--well-written, I must say. And poor Obi-Wan (how many times are those two words used beside one another around here? Poor Obi-Wan, poor Obi-Wan, oh, poor Obi-Wan!).
Hopefully you'll update this one soon; it's much too good to be allowed to settle at the bottom of the forums. 
Two-month bump!  Skippy.
