Obi-Wan nodded slowly, carefully listening to Allura's words and sensing her grief. She may or may not notice the same from him. A slight turning away of his eyes, the melancholy feel to his gentle expression, and the mushrooms thriving around their table. Just hints to a deeper grief that he largely keeps buried.
"Leia is something akin to family to me. And while I will only know her as a baby in my time, I can appreciate the woman she has become here."
He sighed softly as he considered his next words, his hand lightly scrubbing his beard.
"Anakin on the other hand, I have known much of his life. I raised him from a small boy and taught him in the ways of my people. He is like a brother to me. However, I can not deny he will do terrible things. I can sympathize with Leia because he will cause the extermination of my people as well. Not that far into his future actually. In fact he was on the verge of doing so when he was brought here. He was angry, confused, and desperate, but there was still a chance. I took that chance, and after months of work, with some set backs here and there, he has turned around."
She could only take his word for that though, and by what she has witnessed. Leia, after all, would argue that Anakin hasn't changed.
"Leia refuses to acknowledge that, as I'm sure you are aware. While it can't be expected for her to ever be on friendly terms with Anakin, she indeed holds on to an anger that is very dangerous."
