"Not necessarily a bad thing," Obi-Wan retorted, his own voice teasing in return. He smiled still, but it faded somewhat as they continued on. He knew what had happened, after all, and no matter the impression he had made on Trever... well. "And he was very fond of you."

'Was', unfortunately, being the key word.

And how did one comfort for such a thing? At least Trever was still alive, but Ferus had lost him all the same. Obi-Wan felt that pain, albeit in a very different way, with Anakin. He was alive, but gone. But at least it was for the greater good with Trever.

"You did the right thing, Ferus."

Not that that necessarily made the pain any less. But perhaps it would make it easier to live with.
