"Pardon?" he said. He couldn't possibly have heard correctly.
"Anakin Skywalker," said Mace. "He is to enter your custody."
"I--what?" said Obi-Wan. "Forgive me, but I was... under the impression he would be expelled from--that is, not admitted to the Order."
"You assumed," said Yoda, flicking out one claw.
"If young Skywalker is as dangerous as you say, we cannot afford to risk him falling to the Dark Side again," said Mace. "No, he needs supervision. You."
"It was your desire to train him, was it not?" asked Ki-Adi-Mundi. Obi-Wan couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I never said that," he protested. "Not this time. Even I know how catastrophic that would be. Besides, he doesn't need training... or not for his skills, at least. He is--was--he rose to the rank of Jedi Knight before falling to the Dark Side. I know I told you this."
"Nonetheless, the Council urges you to--"
"What?" he interrupted, shocked and somehow betrayed. "You can't be serious, surely. You cannot possibly be serious about this."
"Enough," snapped Mace. "You may have achieved the highest rank a Jedi may attain in some alternative future version of events, but you are here now, Padawan Kenobi. You both are. And you will obey the Council."
