If you don't want to answer, please feel free to ignore this ask, but I had a question about Mace in chapter 2 of Pebble in a River. Obi-Wan thinks that Mace is regretting accepting him back into the Order after Melida-Daan, but the other chapters show that Obi-Wan can be an unreliable narrator at times. What was Mace thinking then?
Ah, yes. So Obi-Wan is definitely misinterpreting Mace's thoughts there. Mace is disappointed that Obi-Wan is leaving, he thinks Obi-Wan could be a great Jedi. And he is majorly concerned, because Obi-Wan is pretty much shatter point upon shatter point upon shatter point, which is... yeah, a bit of a headache. And also really terrifying when on a 19 year old who before had a couple of shatter points and now feels like nothing more than shatter points. So he's afraid, he's disappointed—but not in Obi-Wan. He's just feeling the weight of the situation.
