"It was only a punishment for me. Meant to teach me patience. It only partly succeeded," he says with amusement.
Listening solemnly to her confession, he nods, looking away for a moment. "I don't know what I would have done, had things been different. Had I been put in the middle."
Obi-Wan doesn't ask how Anakin felt about her decision; one thing he's learned over the past couple decades dealing with all variations of cultures and beings - the mother-figure is the one you respect above all else. He also doesn't say he wouldn't have been hurt, because if things had been different - if he hadn't already been broken and raw from learning of Anakin's betrayal - he very well might have felt betrayed when he figured out whose children she carried. That he'd been lied to, by both of them.
It doesn't matter now, though. None of it does, because that world is well and truly gone. They have nowhere to go but forward, into unknown territory.
