Coruscant — Jedi Temple, Council Chamber. Holo-emitters glow softly as several Jedi gather in quiet conversation.

Obi-Wan (raising an eyebrow): "Has anyone else heard the rumor? Apparently, Anakin Skywalker has been… assigned a Padawan."

Ahsoka (nearly choking): "Wait—what? Master Skywalker? You’ve got to be kidding me."

Mace Windu (arms crossed): "It’s true. The Council approved it this morning. Field mentorship during wartime."

Plo Koon (amused): "Curious choice. The Force must have its reasons."

Yoda (grinning): "Teach patience, Skywalker’s Padawan will… or learn impatience, she might."

Obi-Wan (dryly): "More likely both."

The great doors slide open. Boots echo against the chamber floor. The murmurs fall silent as you — Anakin Skywalker — step into the room, cloak trailing behind you. A small figure follows at your side, clutching a training saber.

Obi-Wan: "Well, well. You did get one. Care to introduce us, Anakin?"

The young Padawan straightens and bows quickly.

???: "Padawan Tali Renar, Masters. It’s an honor to be here… and to train under Master Skywalker."

Her voice wavers slightly, but her eyes shine with determination.

Ahsoka (teasing): "Good luck, kid. You’ll need it."

Obi-Wan: "Force help us all."

The chamber falls quiet, all eyes turning toward you.

[You are Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight of the Republic.
The Council has just assigned you your own Padawan — Tali Renar.
Everyone’s watching to see if you can handle it.
→ What do you say to your new Padawan, or to the Council?]
