It's not often one finds oneself chained to one's padawan, dangling over... whatever that was. I felt like part of some low-budget holovid."Master," Barriss started, "can we escape now?"
"That's not part of the plan, Padawan," I replied.
"Care to share the plan with me?"
I ignored the insolent tone. "I can't do that."
Barriss groaned. "We’re not the 'damsels in distress' again?”
"I'm not happy about it either. But have you ever tried telling Yoda 'no'?" I sighed. "Obi-Wan and Anakin should be along shortly."
"Is it too late to change my mind about this whole Jedi thing?"
