"I suppose we were just in the right place at the right time," Obi-Wan agrees, letting his free hand fall to Klaus's knee atop his own.
There are times when he wonders what his life would have been like had he left the Jedi Order to be with Satine. A Duchess's husband would have been an interesting life in its own right, especially when that Duchess was the ruler of Mandalore. It certainly wouldn't have been quiet, but it wouldn't have had moments like this either. Out in public, Satine would have always needed to be the Duchess of Mandalore above all else, even Obi-Wan's wife. There would be no going to clubs, dancing, drinking, sitting wrapped up in each other like he is with Klaus. He had loved Satine with all her heart and loves her still, he believes he could have been very happy with her, but it would have been a very different happiness than the sort of he has now.
One isn't better than the other. They're just different.
"I was just thinking," he says, seeing no reason not to share this with Klaus. "How I would have likely never been able to do anything like this had I left the Jedi Order and married Satine. We would have always been the Duchess of Mandalore and her husband out in public, never simply Satine Kryze and Obi-Wan Kenobi." He pauses, considering, then laughs a little. "Although Satine also may have gotten annoyed with all the rules and put on a disguise for an evening, so who knows."
