Summary
“Are you stuck? When are you coming back?” Siri asks.
“I um. I’m not,” Obi-Wan says. “I quit the Order.”
“Quit as in—“
“As in told Master Yoda I won’t accept the rank of knight and I won’t take my vows and that I’m going somewhere else,” Obi-Wan says, all in a rush. Siri looks undeterred.
“Where in the Seven Corellian Hells do you plan on going?” she asks, hands on her hips.
He hesitates, just a moment. But if this is the plan, then it won’t hurt for Siri and Quinlan to know. They’ll find out soon enough anyway, and he’d rather them hear it from him.
“Mandalore,” Obi-Wan says, not without cringing. He’s met with a few brief seconds of stunned silence.
“Yeah, we’re never getting him back,” Quinlan says, somewhere out of view.

Or: When the Jedi Order refuses to admit 9-year-old Anakin into their ranks, Obi-Wan decides he cannot break his final promise to Qui-Gon and leaves the Order with Anakin. He turns to the only person he trusts to help him protect his new dangerously-powerful foundling: the Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore.He just might be in for a bit more than he bargained for when he gets there.

Summary
“Thank you for agreeing to see me, Your Grace,” Mace says, with the customary bow. “I am Jedi Master Mace Windu here on behalf of the Jedi Council. We wish to speak to Obi-Wan Kenobi and know that he has sought refuge here.”
The duchess looks down on him, unimpressed. Her eyes are a sharp, icy blue, her hair so pale it nearly blends with her skin. She’s tall but thin in the way of people who have been half-starved half their lives, though that doesn’t make her any less intimidating. Or it wouldn’t, if Mace was the type of person to feel intimidated by anyone.
“I’m afraid my husband is quite indisposed,” she says, coolly.
The pounding in Mace’s temple increases with a vengeance.

Summary
Shmi wasn’t terribly surprised when the Jedi came calling, nor when they proclaimed that Anakin was one of their own. It was why she didn’t protest much when they promised to whisk him away to their fancy temple on the Core.
She wasn’t terribly bitter that they’d left her behind. Master Jinn had been kind enough, and he’d tried more than anyone else ever had. Another low bar, Shmi knew, but Anakin was what was important. He was special. He had never been hers to begin with. Letting him go was never a choice— never hers, anyhow.
Maybe that was why, when the young man proclaiming to be an ex-Jedi had shown up at her door not a month later, she had let him in. Maybe it was why, when she had finished listening to his story, to his request, she had refused.
For the first time in her life, Shmi had a real choice. Maybe she had made the wrong one. In her own defense, she didn’t exactly have a lot of practice with it.

Summary
Satine and Obi-Wan had sat him down on the plush thing they called a couch and explained to him that they were in love and were going to get married (which like, duh), and to keep him safe they were going to adopt him as their son (weird), but of course they understood that he already had a mother (duh, again), and they didn’t want him to feel like he was leaving her behind (even though he had left her behind) and so he shouldn’t feel any pressure one way or another on what to call them (mom and dad or just their names) and they would treat him no different than Korkie no matter what he decided and it was fully up to him (except that it wasn’t, really, because it’s not like anybody had asked what he wanted to do).
He thinks they’re being honest, but he doesn’t understand why they won’t just tell him what they want. And when he’d asked, they’d given each other a sort of sad look and said they couldn’t decide for him.
It’s confusing. And made more so by the fact that, even though Satine told him that slavery was outlawed on Mandalore and all her systems, they still hadn’t taken out his slave chip.

Summary
Obi-Wan himself feels a bit anxious, though clearly nowhere near the level his wife does. It makes sense— he’s certainly not blameless, but he hasn’t been actively perpetuating the lie for years either.
He slips his hand into hers, giving it a light squeeze. It’s a bit clammy, but she seems to appreciate the gesture, because she squeezes his hand back.
“Are you ready?” He asks, quietly. Satine seems to consider it for a moment, her teeth pulling over her already ravaged bottom lip— he’ll have to remember to get her some bacta for it later.
Eventually, though, she nods. Obi-Wan takes the lead, pushing open the door to Korkie’s bedroom.
