Being a Friend
==============

?Master, he won?t he even say hi to me or acknowledge me anymore. We used to talk about everything. Now, it?s like I don?t exist.?

?You have to give him time padawan. Taj will come around eventually. I just think he?s having a hard time dealing with all that?s happened on in the last six months or so. His illness and his masters illness. The death his friend Jelan. Long and demanding missions. This life takes its toll on everyone and some handle it better than others. I think Taj is just worn out and he needs a break from all this.?

?It hurts that he won?t talk to me. Have I done something wrong to make him angry with me? Can I do anything to make this up to him??

?I doubt that you had anything to do with this. But, yes there is something you can do.?

?What?s that master??

?Remain supportive and be there for him when he comes around.?

?I can do that, but that doesn?t make my pain go away. I feel like I?ve been abandoned by my best friend. Doesn?t he realize how hurtful this is to me??

?I am sure he does padawan, but he has to deal with himself right now. That?s what?s most important. His own well-being. If it will make you feel any better, I will speak to his master and ask how Taj is. Okay??

?Yes master, I would appreciate that. I want to make sure he?s okay, even if he doesn?t want to talk to me right now. I am still his friend and I?m worried about him.?

?You are a good friend Obi-Wan. I know he?ll be pleased to know that he has a friend who is so supportive.?

?I wish I could do something else for him.?

?Give him space and time. That?s what he needs more than anything. Okay??

?Yes master, I can do that.?

?Good. Now, let?s you and I get to our meeting with Master Yoda before we are late, and he ends up lecturing me on the importance of timeliness when training a padawan.?

?Yes master.?
