"Fair enough," Qui-Gon concedes as he draws himself back up to his full height, his need to be annoying appropriately satiated, "However, if you find this 'someone' unsatisfactory, or if you feel they aren't showing you enough, you know where you can find me."

He tilts his head towards the pile of rocks.

"That is only the beginning, after all."
