[ Droll look, Obi-Wan. Droll look. ]

[jedies]

What? I'm sympathising.

[simplegestures]

You’ve quite the place here anyway.

[jedies]

And it's already filled to the brim.

[simplegestures]

It seems you might need the castle then.

[jedies]

But am I the servant or something else?

[simplegestures]

Servant? You realize everyone is currently here for you.

[jedies]

That does not mean I do not come to serve.

[simplegestures]

Only of your own free will and not by force.

[jedies]

True.

[ he sighs. ]

I'm being callous, aren't I?

[simplegestures]

Not quite the proper word since I’ve never known you to be cruel.

[jedies]

Perhaps not.

Less grateful than I should be.

[simplegestures]

I doubt that. There are things on your mind. There is nothing wrong with that.

[jedies]

That depends on how long it takes.

[simplegestures]

Does it? Is there a time limit? A requirement to put it behind you? There isn’t. There are some things that we will carry with ourselves to our dying day. They may lessen and diminish but they may never truly fade.

[jedies]

No. Nothing ever truly fades.

[simplegestures]

So keep that in mind.

[jedies]

How can I not? It feels entrenched.

[simplegestures]

Then I will come visit to remind you.

[jedies]

Won't that be exhausting?

[simplegestures]

To visit a friend?

[ pointed look. Honestly Obi-Wan. ]

[jedies]

[ obi-wan huffs. ]

This is why I never liked politics. You outmaneuver me far too easily.

[simplegestures]

I think the Negotiator does protest too much.

[jedies]

I feel I should protest a little at least.

[simplegestures]

If it makes you feel better.

(Sly grin? What sly grin.)
