Obi-Wan was glad to hear it, and he did believe him. Even if he knew that it wasn't so simple. His words had held two meanings, but did Ferus's? That was less clear--and Obi-Wan could hardly blame him if not.

It was not every day that Obi-Wan was glad to be here, either.

He frowned slightly, in thought, watching Ferus for a moment. Concerned Ferus might cry but perfectly prepared to let him do so as much as he needed. And he probably did need it.

So he fell silent instead, letting Ferus have his mental space if he desired. He would wait him out and let him come to him if there was more for him to say.
