[ If Obi-Wan were to take the opportunity to pluck at that same thread now, he would be met with a solid wall as Anakin's side of the bond is shut to his prying. Partially to shield his own fragile emotions. He doesn't think he can take that particular prying today. He's still not feeling a hundred percent recovered, and sleep continues to be a problem, but that's kind of his lot in life, isn't it?
How he hates that gentle tone, that bemused lilt that accompanies it.. It makes him feel like a Padawan being scolded again, but a part of him deep, deep down knows that particular brand of chastisement usually followed with tea to help cheer him up. Anakin doesn't want or need the pity that he's projecting onto this interaction unbeknownst to himself.
Anakin huffs despite the tight composure he tries to maintain. Everything Obi-Wan can see and that's what he goes with? It takes everything not to roll his eyes. ]
Don't think that because you've tempered my anger that I've forgiven you! I'm just-- [ He sighs, tired. ] I don't know what to think about you being here. I've been alone for long enough, I was sure it would stay that way.
