"Of course I know Anakin Skywalker," Most of the galaxy knows Anakin kriffing Skywalker, he's about as subtle as a flash-grenade in a library, "He's my former student, I trained him. We work together often."

Much to Obi-Wan's continual delight and dismay, but that's another thing. This is why they forbid attachments, but even Obi-Wan is only human; and Anakin, for all his faults, has a good heart.

"Who--" His mother. For a moment, Obi-Wan looks askance, then winces as he puts it together. Padme. It had to be Padme. No one else, or at least no other human woman, was so close to Anakin. And that was when Obi-Wan realized, perhaps worst of all, that he actually believed Luke's ridiculous story, "...Of course."
