So there's plenty of opportunity to split the two up - the master handles whatever seems most important, the padawan goes off to deal with some secondary issue that can't wait. Example: a world with a strong secessionist movement, maybe the master concentrates on getting the political leaders to sit down and talk with each other while the padawan deals with violent extremists trying to disrupt the talks. - if the master has some special skillset, then he can be sent on missions where the Padawan may be a hindrance. The council would then find the padawan something else to do, probably related to the master's mission. An example straight from the movies, Obi-Wan the Jedi Investigator tracks the assassin while Anakin sneaks Padme off of Coruscant. - if the master sees some kind of learning experience in a situation, he might send the padawan off to handle it and merely observe discretely. Particularly good if the padawan had some role in causing the situation, and now has to fix it. - quite possibly, there's some area in which the padawan is much more skilled than the master. That presents a logical reason for the master to leave the padawan to his own devices when an appropriate situation comes up, while the master handles some other aspect more suited to his talents. Say the padawan has technical skills and the master doesn't, and they're hunting secessionist terrorists; the master might leave the padawan to investigate evidence or track them via computer records, while the master takes the more direct approach of questioning shady characters in bars. - there's always the old saw of having them separated by some disaster - accident, an attack, or whatever. For example, they happen to be in different parts of a space station when it's attacked by wardroids.</blockquote>
