Qui-Gon was tending to the bonsai tree his roommate had given him and contemplating what classes to take next semester when his comlink he kept for communicatig with Coruscant went off.
A little surprised, Qui-Gon dug it out of his night stand and answered it. "Is that you, Master?"
"Someone else you were expecting, Padawan?" Yoda's voice came from the small speaker on the comlink.
"One should always expect the unexpected," Qui-Gon replied with a faint smile.
There was an audible 'humph' over the line. "That attitude good to have," Yoda told him. "Because unexpected news I have. Home you must come."
Qui-Gon blinked. "For how long?"
"Uncertain that is. Plan for indefinitely, you should. Unexpected things happening have been. Need you close to the temple we do."
There was something in Yoda's voice that, combined with some of the things Anakin had told him, had Qui-Gon stating, "It's Dooku, isn't it."
The slight hesitation before Yoda replied was answer enough. "Contact you, has he?"
"No," Qui-Gon sighed. "I just have learned some... forewarnings."
Yoda sighed heavily. "Come home, Padawan. Discuss everything once you're here, we will."
"Yes, Master," Qui-Gon replied.
"Waiting for you, I am." And with that Yoda disconnected.
Qui-Gon put the comlink down and just sat still for a minute reflecting, taking in his surroundings and memorizing them. Then he got up and started packing up all of his things.
Perhaps, knowing what he did, they would be able to save Dooku, turn him back to the right path and change his fate. It was something he had to attempt at any rate.
Even if it met leaving here before he had expected to.
[ooc: Qui-Gon is leaving, Establishy for that and open for any who happen to want to wander by and say their goodbyes]
