It worries me, this misunderstanding between you and your Padawan. This isn't the first time you've reported such difficulties. Qui-Gon bowed his head slightly. It worries me as well. Obi-Wan is strong in the Force, and eager to do his duty. The failure must be mine. Fundamentally, I fear, we are a mismatch.
