Why/how is obi so oblivious to the soul bond with tempest? I mean it seems like something you would notice? Is it amusing/frustrating for everyone else who knows (tempest)? Ask or prompt, your call!
Weeeeeeell, its not so much he’s unaware of the bond as he’s unaware of the KIND of bond. Qui-Gon was apprenticed to Dooku who did quite a bit of research into bonds. And the council is made up by mostly old farts *coughes* Obi-Wan does know he has a link to Qui-Gon but once again, he’s unaware of the dept of it. He’ll learn, eventually. And for Tempest its fine that Obi-Wan is oblivious to it because he doesn’t want Obi-Wan to feel obliged to be with him, though he’s pretty sure Obi-Wan is with him because he wants to. And the others aren’t sure what to do about it, Mace is kind of grateful Obi-Wan doesn’t know.
