[ Just seems a logical solution!

Obi-Wan laughed softly and gave his head a shake. ]


Don't tell Ezra that. According to most of those who are here from my world, I am an old man. Nearly fifty even. [ Obi-Wan makes a joke of it, but there is something in his eyes. Something that suggests he is an 'old man' who comes from a profession where people usually die very young.

At the question he sits back and exhales a long breath. Reaching up a hand, he brushes it through his hair. ]


Usefulness. [ He offers, after a moment. ] As I understand it, this chip being of Sylphid origin, would allow for me to go back into Sylphid territory without immediately raising alarms. [ Though they have only just met, Obi-Wan's gut instinct is such that he suspects the Doctor can understand the value of being able to infiltrate behind enemy lines. ]

I've spent the previous ten years of my life cut off from the Force, for reasons. I know I can function without it, my training is such that I am more powerful with it, but I am not helpless without it. [ Obi-Wan stared off for a moment, thinking about the most recent mission; thinking about the two parts to it. ]

I am unsure which part of this rebellion I want to participate in. I spent three years as a General, on the front lines of a war, but I was raised to be a keeper of the peace. I can't get past the question of whether I would be benefiting our new hosts, or simply allowing myself a selfish desire by limiting my utilization.

[ He looked back to the Doctor and gave the man a wry smile. Unspoken apology for the exposition, but truthfully the Doctor was the first person who had asked him this question. ]
