No one has ever really listened to Klaus like Obi-Wan does. He really listens, as if everything Klaus has to say is important, and sometimes he doesn't know what to do with that quiet, focused attention. He is so used to being brushed aside or talked over, never taken seriously, but Obi-Wan has never once treated him like that. Even when Klaus is rambling about nonsense, which he is prone to do, Obi-Wan listens.
"I'm not," Klaus confirms. He sleeps better here at Obi-Wan's, but there are nights when he can almost tell how bad it's going to be, so he decides to stay at home instead. He doesn't want to bother Obi-Wan night after night, even if he knows Obi-Wan would never see it that way.
"It's just so frustrating," he says after a long moment, brow furrowed as he looks down into his coffee cup. "I haven't been using very much, and that should be a good thing, right? My drug use was because of this, it's how it started. People have looked down on me for it for most of my life because of it, but it was always to try and stop this."
After taking another sip of his coffee, he sets the cup down on the table and then buries his face in his hands for a long moment, scrubbing them over his face before pulling them away and blowing out a breath. "But if I'm not doing drugs, I have to deal with this. And I'm just-- I'm so tired, Obi."
