I'm sorry that you have had to go through it, so often. [ Obi-Wan responded in a solemn tone. ] I cannot imagine and even now, [ he motioned to the marking on his hand, meaning their tether bond ] I know it is not nearly enough.
[ In the lift and fall of his words was a response to the idea that none of this was about trying to compare scars. Their scars were unique to them both, none greater or lesser if only because there was no comparing their lives.
There were a lot of similarities between them, even between the vastness of the galaxies they traveled. The Doctor had thousands of years, Obi-Wan had an impossible life pressed into the span of a blink. It was about understanding, commiserating and perhaps helping provide a different perspective from the depth of the same hole.
Sitting back with his fresh tea -bless you Doctor- Obi-Wan took a sip and then smiled a little crookedly. ]
The strangest thing is, has always been, that even with all the pain, the loss and the grief. When I allow myself to look back, I don't ever find myself trying to reimagine myself without the experiences I have lived.
[ It was his tone that balanced the words. No one wanted pain, loss and grief in their life but his choice to be a Jedi, the memory of his time with Qui-Gon, Satine, Anakin, Padme ... the existence of the twins. Obi-Wan never looked back and wanted to wish that away in favor of avoiding the pain that came with it. ]
