[Oh Obi-Wan. Way to make a guy stop having fun. The guy droped the light-saber at the scolding quickly picking it up and looking solemnly at the communicator.]
Hey, I meant no disrespect. He's a bad-ass, you know? He's epic! Have you seen the wrinkles on this guy, he's really old...
I didn't know Padme was here too. How do you like being a woman?
[It's his secret talent: spoiling fun. And there's that word again!]
How is being a "bad ass" a good thing? [FROWN. He heard that!] He's not that old! He looks very nice for a man his age!
[And the question suddenly makes him look very uncomfortable.] Yes, Senator Amidala is living with us. ...It's awkward. The only upside to this is that I can still uphold my duty of protecting her and seeing to it no harm comes to her body.
I don't think you you understand what bad-ass means. A bad-ass is a person that's amazing, they're really cool, and they kick ass and do amazing things while looking good through it all. Nothin' disrespectful, just amazing.
Why's it your job to protect 'her body', dirty bird?
...I see. That's an odd way to compliment somebody. [Eyebrow raise. He's still unsure. :|] Different things for different cultures, I suppose.
[Have you ever seen Padmé growl before? Well, here it is!] Oh, don't be foul! [No pun intended, ahaha!] Before Master Qui-Gon and I arrived here, our mission was to protect Queen Amidala. Despite the change in times and her now being a Senator, that mission has not changed and it is still our duty. She's much safer with me stuck like this rather than one of the many psychopaths we've got running about this place.
[And by the stars, just hearing all of this in Qui-Gon's voice makes him want to rip his eardrums out. But that would be Padmé's eardrums, so he'll refrain.] Thank the galaxy for that. You're horribly perverted!
[...Deep breaths.] I'm surprised at you and a little annoyed, but I'm not angry.
I might be stuck in Qui-Gon's body but that doesn't change the fact I am who I am. And I'm not perverted, just very open minded.
Why are you surprised? I get the annoyed, everyone's always annoyed at me, but what did you expect? I love jedi's and I get to be a jedi for once. I'm excited, why can't you see that?
Not about that. Mainly that you have such a dirty mind and-- well, less about being disrespectful now that you've clarified some things, but... [He puts on a stern face again. Has he lost all the cool points he may have once had on account of being a nag, yet?] I don't mind that you're excited, but I had better not see you abusing the Force and doing unethical things in my Master's body.
Take it easy, I know the rules and not to abuse. All I ever really wanted was to hold a lightsaber and you know I wouldn't do anything bad to a body that belongs to a jedi master. Not only would he kick my ass but you would too. And you're all ready angry. I don't like it when my favorite hero is mad at me. I'm getting anxiety all of a sudden.[Or was it because he was in an old man's body and he's being overwhelmed by FEELINGS.]
[Aw, well, now Obi-Wan's starting to feel bad! A little reassured by Dante's words, his shoulders slack a bit and he starts looking a little less severe.]
Oh, come on, now. Just breathe, Dante. I'm only making sure the Force and my Master's body are treated with respect! [Pause. It occurs to him...] ...Oh dear. You're not used to dealing with the Force, are you? [It's a rhetorical question. Just as Obi-Wan's still feeling extremely off-kilter and shut off from the world by no longer having access to the Force, he's sure suddenly feeling everything through the Force when you're not used to it is also quite overwhelming. Especially inside the body of Qui-Gon of all people, who is very in tune with the Living Force.]
It takes years of practice to be able to use it effectively, but I can at least teach you how not to... break things with your mind on accident.

No, we don't. [He sighs, then nods.] Alright, then. If you're in Qui-Gon's room, I'll be up in a moment.
[He really hoped he wouldn't have to leave; he's been hiding downstairs, but it'd be easier to help Dante in person rather than over the feed. So, Obi-Wan heads somewhat clumsily upstairs, trying not to trip over his new wardrobe, and knocks on the door to Qui-Gon's room.] It's Obi-Wan. [Just to be polite.]
[Obi-Wan is trying very hard not to grin. He doesn't think he's ever seen Qui-Gon pout before. He manages to keep it to a slight smile, at least. ...Could do without how much more he has to look up in this body; he already felt small next to him in his real body.]
Well, don't you worry. There will be more chances in the future. [He pats his arm.] In the meantime... [Obi-Wan finds a spot on the floor and points to the spot in front of him.] Sit across from me.
[Qui-Gon eyed the sitting girl and then the spot before her. He gave a contemplative scratch at his beard before heaving a sigh and pulling his robes around him, taking a seat on the ground.]

You're right. If I was in a girl's body, well, I won't harass your virgin ears. Being a jedi is ten times better.
[He went and flopped on the bed, petting his beard.]
You're not too mad with me are you? I swear, I wasn't doing anything wrong.

To a jedi, I'm not surprised.

Break things with my mind, that's- [And he remembers. Behave. THat's right.] -really bad. We don't want that.
I would appreciate the pointers.

[A very pouty Qui-Gon answered the door and held it open for the senator to pass.]
I'm a little disappointed. This wasn't how I wanted to meet you for the first time.

Okay, now what?

[Obi-Wan is maybe a little too cheerful about getting to teach someone this. Assuming Dante won't just be tuning him out.]
Have you ever meditated before, Dante? If so, this is sort of like that-- except I'm not going to make you sit here and actually meditate.
