[ It's not intended to be chiding, but one never knows how Anakin takes such remarks (badly, he takes them badly, no matter how gently or kindly Obi-Wan wraps up his concern; is it any wonder he does what he can to show his affection and approval through actions rather than words which are so often twisted about in the boy's mind?) and Obi-Wan cannot help but continue to approach, worry radiating in the Force.
He would have hoped that being away from the war would do something to ease his mind- but being wrenched once again from everything he knew and loved...how else would that land for him? How else would it twist in his very soul?
At least it seems a though he's found his footing, if his frustration with Obi-Wan's appearance is anything to go by. ]
...Much like yourself I had little control over my arrival- but I am truly sorry you were isolated. If it was distressing for me to wake here without my connection to the Force, I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for you.
[ Close, now, and he could stand with his hands in his sleeves- an older Obi-Wan might have. One more weathered and made weary by war. But this as of yet unburdened man reaches out, rests a hand on Anakin's shoulder. ]
And I am sorry I didn't realize you were here sooner. I would have reached out, had I known.
