Gkilkenny posted:“Some might worry you will go easy on him,” Elisa warned. Ben made a noise that was meant to be a scoff but sounded closer to a sob. “Believe me, they will not believe it now.” Elisa hugged herself to keep his quiet desperation from sinking its icy grip into her. “Oh, Ben, I’m sorry.” “There’s nothing to be done about it,” he said in that manner that was both resigned and empty. Oh my so Ben beat Qui-Gon enough to make him scream “He’s stopped breathing,” Ben told her. She turned back in time to see her scoop their brother into his arms once again. He rushed forward and passed her. Of its own accord, Ben’s door sprang open. “Where are you going?” “Tell Grais to meet me in cell 2897.” “No, wait for Grais here.” Ben shook his head as he passed through the door. “He won’t make it. I’ve got to get him to Qui-Gon.” He makes Qui-Gon scream one minute, and now he wants Qui-Gon to save aiden Crazy mixed up Obi-Wan Great update
jedidas3 posted:This Obi-Wan is very mixed up...but I'm really enjoying this aspect of his character. What a different twist. I love stories like that and you are doing wonderfully with this one. Just don't keep me waiting too long for the next post!
calimora posted:This was an interesting chapter - the method you used to gloss Qui-Gon's treatment was very effective. It implied both the severity and commonality of what was going on. The reaction of Ben's family was also interesting, Either his father is a constant manipulator or there is some real love there. It's a bit of a shame that Ben always feels the need to prove himself. And finally interesting is how Ben is confident that his Master is a jedi, and can and will fix his brother, despite being tortured. The bit about 'a sign from the Force' was just amusing.
bek posted:Obi-Wan and Ben seem to be in a struggle. Obi-Wan doesn't like what's happening to Qui-Gon and yet Ben needs to prove himself to his father. He appears to be a very confused young man. It will be interesting to see what choice Qui-Gon makes when presented with young Aiden. Being a Jedi, he will no doubt help the boy, but will it help his situation any? Another wonderful addition!

Quigonjecca posted:“Aiden?” Just as quickly, the eight year old boy went limp as a rag, his eyes rolling back into his head, showing only the white of his eyes. Ben leapt from the bed and snatched the slim figure before Aiden crashed to the ground. In the same move, Ben deposited the nine-year-old on his bed just as Aiden began to seize. Elisa cried out and tried to reach out for her little brother, but Ben stopped her with a hand. “Contact Grais.” She dashed towards the comm station in Ben’s quarters, tripped over the edge of her skirt. Her knees hit the floor first with a resounding crack. She muttered a curse under her breath, pushing back to her feet. “Elisa?” “I’m okay.” Just as she was punching in Grais’ room frequency, she felt a spike of fear through Ben’s immaculate shields. “What is it?” “He’s stopped breathing,” Ben told her. She turned back in time to see her scoop their brother into his arms once again. He rushed forward and passed her. Of its own accord, Ben’s door sprang open. “Where are you going?” “Tell Grais to meet me in cell 2897.” “No, wait for Grais here.” Ben shook his head as he passed through the door. “He won’t make it. I’ve got to get him to Qui-Gon.” Oh my goodness! What an awesome chapter! I'm really, really looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Quigonjecca posted:Oh! Great chapter. I really like little Aiden-- he seems so much like a young Obi. But I am worried that Siri might be fueled a bit by revenge... Great update. Can't wait for more!
jedidas3 posted:Dev exchanged a questioning glance with Vordda. The Hutt inclined his head in a gesture of affirmation. “That is agreeable,” he said. “But once you see Master Jinn, you may not need your proof.” “Then I will have a special interest in destroying the Kenobi cartel.” I have a bad feeling about this. Another excellent update. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens. Don't take too long to update! Please!
Gkilkenny posted:Siri is a hothead and she can get herself into trouble without even trying. Usually it is up to Obi-Wan to save her.... I'm wondering So now we have a statue that is worth squillians. The plot thickens. Interesting so many options
obsessedwithSW posted:I cant imagine how much Ben is at war with himself over Qui-Gon. Does Qui-Gon really think Obi-Wan went easy on him? He is up for a whole other ball of wax when he finds Siri is working with Vorrda and his brother. Wonderful updates!
azizah posted:Ok, I am catching up here. The end of the last chapter was a stunner, and yet it made perfect sense. Luckily I am behind on reading. I held my breath as I scrolled down to see if there was another update. I don’t think I could have waited. The next chapter was perfect. I was sure Qui-Gon would heal Aiden, but that he taught Obi-Wan how to do it was even better. And of course Siri and Devid are a very entertaining pair. Great story. I am loving every minute of it.
bek posted:I wonder if Qui-Gon helping Obi-Wan/Ben with Aiden will aid him in any way. Also wonder how Obi-Wan felt having been transported back in time for those few minutes when Qui-Gon was instructing him of how to help Aiden. Siri best be weary of Dev until she's certain he is trustworthy. Is he really concerned about his half brother and sister or is he just playing on her sympathy? So many questions. Wonderful addition to an already fantastic story. I'm ready for the next post now.
