The Jedi Masters were standing in front of Queen Kit prepared to be perfectly reasonable and she just wasn’t having it.  Jedi or not she was certain that the woman by Qui-Gon’s side was more than just a trifle smug.  She thought that she had won because she had another Jedi with her.  Well the joke was on her.  She had run off and left poor little George to be Archived alone and that mattered.

“You can’t have him.”

“I really must ask that you return Padawan Roslin to his master.” There was Jinn being too sensible for anyone’s good.

“No.”

“You cannot simply kidnap a young man and expect to be able to keep him.” Ah now the woman spoke, probably more sharply than she had intended.

“I didn’t kidnap anyone. His name is Squire George McJedi and we are his legal guardians.  If you had read anything of our constitution before trespassing on our facility you would know that.”  She had the law behind her and heavens help her when she was in the right she would out-stubborn the best of them.  And if that didn’t work @llewellynz Could always be called in to have her back on the formalities.

“She,” Kit gestured violently at the enraged woman standing next to Master Jinn, “abandoned a minor in our territory and so legal guardianship has fallen to Strike Team Vengeance.  We will teach him what he needs to know.  If you wish to contest guardianship you can schedule a trial date in one year’s time and while the issue is in question My Padawan cannot leave this moon.”

Jinn turned to the young Squire perhaps he thought he could convince the young man to help his “evil archiving captor” to see reason.  Well Jinn was going to be unpleasantly surprised.

“I’m sorry but she’s right.” George replied with a cheeky smile. “There is no Padawan Dallin Roslin in this facility.  I’m Squire George and I’m afraid I really do need to get back to my lessons.  I’ve already missed Planetary Bombardment Principals and I can’t afford to miss Home Ec.  Don’t you know how important it is to be able to make your own blankets and fix your own torn clothes?  Really I’m afraid I can’t be wasting my time any longer."
