Obi-Wan flattens his ears, wrapping his newly acquired tail around him as he tries to pretend this isn't happening. It's bad enough that he's all of ten pounds of fluff - soaked fluff that looks like a half-drowned womp-rat according to Anakin. He doesn't need to be hearing what sounds like his master's voice in the back of his mind. Not right now.
He jumps, and whirls, hissing violently when he feels something swipe across the back of his head. That Obi-Wan doesn't stumble when he lands has more to do with the ground being layers of leaf litter and mud than any sort of balance. It doesn't stop his legs from sliding out from under him, though, and he stares up at the much-larger cat that has disturbingly familiar blue eyes.
/You're dead./
/I was./ Qui-Gon - it has to be, for all that he's a cat - flops down on the ground with more grace than Obi-Wan had just managed. /I was following you when you tripped... whatever it was./
Obi-Wan can hear the frown in Qui-Gon's voice, a sense of puzzlement. If even someone who was dead - a ghost? - has no idea what they found was, how are they supposed to figure it out? Especially since they're all of them rather small and feline.
He glances over when he hears a confused and slightly wary mrow, fairly certain the cream-and-yellow cat that's watching Qui-Gon is Cody. There are other places where he's certain there are other clones-turned-cats creeping through the leaf-litter toward them, stalking in the same manner they might on two feet in armor.
It's a pity they can't talk in the same manner Obi-Wan can talk to Anakin and Ahsoka and Qui-Gon, while turned into cats, but he can at least try to make sure they don't attempt to mob Qui-Gon. Carefully, he picks himself up out of the mud, ignoring the extra wet and grime in his fur, and pads over to Qui-Gon, climbing up so he's sitting on his shoulder. It's disconcerting, being that much smaller, but the new line of sight does make up for it.
Cody gives him another mrow, though this time it sounds distinctly more annoyed, and Obi-Wan can see how tightly Cody's ears are back against his skull as the small cat begins to stalk toward him. Or toward Qui-Gon, he's not quite sure which.
