Luke's emphasis again surprises him, before Obi-Wan's shoulders sag slightly and he offers a small, bittersweet smile. "If you didn't know that, then you probably aren't aware that he originally belonged to your mother. I was there during the altercation he survived, when several of his contemporaries did not, and the queen deemed him exemplary."

His reminiscence, and the familiarity he's already starting to feel with Luke, just from the other man's behavior and feelings toward him, have made Obi-Wan's tongue looser than typical. He glances at Luke and wonders just how much he told him, in the future-past. What truths did he obfuscate, or outright hide from him?

Trying to divert the conversation - at least until he has more time to consider what, if anything, he will tell Luke if the boy asks after certain subjects (he should have had at least a decade's more time to think on that before he'd needed to know) - Obi-Wan nods toward the small dome of his house, closer than it appears due to its sunken architecture. "Here we are."
