"I do understand. More than you know."

His voice is quiet, and solemn. He had good reason not to be in a hurry to get back. Though he knew Anakin wouldn't understand that. Just as his friend didn't want to lose Padme, Obi-Wan didn't want to lose him. Though he knew it was inevitable. It had already happened from the point he had come from. The only thing he could do was hopefully prevent it here.
