[ It's only when Anakin starts to move than Obi-Wan moves as well. He stands up from Anakin's hip to loiter at the foot of the bed, watching him. Remembering what he does of the dreams about Shmi, he can see this is much worse. Anakin carries his mother's death with him, and the weight of it carries forward into his nightmares about Padmé. Of course he would look for the most extreme option, when the alternative that haunts him is so unequivocal and brutal.

One step at a time, he reminds himself.

The shirt he pulls on is almost sheer in it's softness. Obi-Wan is sure he has never seen it before, and it makes him wonder for a moment if perhaps he'd found it somewhere in this world. Then Anakin is climbing to his feet, and Obi-Wan puts the thought away to lead him out of the quiet dark of the home's interior into the glistening blanket of stars and cool illumination of the moon. It's so bright it casts shadows.

Obi-Wan turns to look at Anakin's profile, saving his words to let him adjust to the change. ]
