"You were taken from birth, correct?" he asks. "I wonder if that makes easier not to think of her." He's only musing, really, he has absolutely no idea what make anything in their situations better or worse. Because although Klaus may not be a Jedi, the way they were taken from their parents is certainly similar enough that Obi-Wan thinks he can understand it better than nearly anyone else here, except perhaps Anakin.

"I have only the vaguest memories of my parents," he says, then smiles. "And while it may not have been the Jedi way, I have to admit, I did go back to Stewjon as an adult. I didn't look for them exactly, I merely... went to see what I remembered. It wasn't much, as it turned out, and so I left."
