Obi-Wan is aging surprisingly well (obi1) wrote in valarlogs,
For right now, timing had ceased to be the issue keeping Obi-Wan and Faiza apart. As long as he was linked to Kitty, he didn't really belong to himself; and Faiza deserved so much more than just a piece of him.
He understood that it was different for Loras and Renly, in more than one way. As far as he knew, Loras was still unaware of the conversation he'd had with Renly in a bar not too long ago. Obi-Wan was mostly convinced the young king wouldn't break his friend's secretly tender heart again, but mostly was not the same as fully. And intentionally was not the same as unintentionally.
He took Loras's words to heart. Obi-Wan wondered that about himself. Regardless of what he wanted, was it perhaps too much to hope for. "I know what you mean. But don't be defeatist, like I can be. If you want something... you should try to make it happen..." His voice trailed away, a little sadness clouding his eyes again. Listening to himself, Obi-Wan worried he'd already missed his chance.
