Qui-Gon Jinn found his old Master on the tower, staring out as the sun set. "I have sensed your discontent building, over the past few months."

"I have felt ... stifled," Dooku admitted.

"You blame the Council."

Finally, Dooku turned to look at him. "You have said much the same."

"Yes," he said. "But I have not been considering leaving."

"Perhaps you are too attached to the order." But then he smiled, a bit sadly. "And perhaps it is simply my age, and if I were an ordinary man I would feel the irrational need for an expensive new airspeeder."

And the airspeerder would be a red convertable!

Lovely drabble.

Of course it would! (Aren't they always?)

Oh... I've always wanted to see more of Qui-Gon and his Master. Great drabble!


I LOVE the last line! :-D

I know what you mean. Knowing what Qui-Gon and Dooku are like seperately, it's interesting to speculate on how they would have interacted.

I'm glad you liked it!
