For the first time ever, Klaus feels the tiniest kernel of something like jealousy when Obi-Wan mentions Satine. But, like with most jealousy, it comes from a lack of self-esteem, and he quickly shakes it away, ashamed of himself for feeling it at all. No, he will never be a beautiful Duchess, but Klaus still has a deep respect for this woman that Obi-Wan loves so dearly, and he knows that he could never replace her. He wouldn't want to, even if he could.
Jealousy is just a human flaw, and Klaus tells himself that it isn't a mistake to have felt it. That happens from time to time, and it's how he reacts to it that's important. He does what Obi-Wan has taught him. He examines the feeling, sits with it a bit, and then lets it go when he realizes that it's foolish and unnecessary. He thinks Obi-Wan would be proud of him.
"You would have been happy with her," Klaus says, because he can admit that. He can hear it in Obi-Wan's voice. He smiles softly and then takes a long drink from his class, feeling the slight burn of liquor in his throat.
