Leia managed to keep the sigh held within. Anakin didn't need that. And while the year apart from Han was different in that Leia had been able to search for him in order to save him, her initial response was the same. To try and hide from the world. Only, she focused on anything but the pain in her heart. She put herself into her work while working to try to find him, Luke and Chewbacca had to ensure she ate and slept. That she didn't work herself into the ground. No. It was different, they didn't know that Tahiri would return or if she did, if she'd be the same or different, from a different time. And Leia wasn't about to say that things would be okay, that she'd be back because she didn't know.
At least he made a comment though. Nodding at his words, though she did plan to stay until she made sure he ate, the brunette put the bag of food on the night stand, listening to what Anakin was saying. Connected by the Force? She wasn't sure if she understood. But he was at least talking which was something as she hadn't done that when Han had first been taken by Jabba.
But the problem was, she didn't know how to respond. Because while she knew that Tahiri had gone home, it wasn't to a good place. She was manipulated there, turned into something Anakin would feel the need to fight and that wasn't fair. It wasn't fair what Jacen had done to her. But what could they do when they were in a completely different universe? Her methods of dealing were not the type that would work here. Because they knew where she was and there was no finding her. No getting her. So throwing oneself into a rebellion and searching wouldn't work. So, she wracked through her mind for what else she had done in order to deal with the loss of Han, to make it through each day as she searched, the pain of each dead end, the anger when people tried to use her, seduce her.
"I would say that you know she doesn't and that's something, but given what happens, it's not much comfort... At the same time, I don't think she'd want you to lose yourself in grief. No one wants that for someone they love. Hold onto the good times, the memories you have. It doesn't make the pain go away, not completely. Sometimes it makes it worse because you know you can't have that... but at the same time, the memories are yours. They're a part of you and cannot be taken from you. So she's still with you, a part of you, even if she's not here anymore..."
