“He was fortunate then,” Obi-Wan says quietly. He doesn’t know the circumstances or that he would have agreed with Kanan’s decisions, but he was glad for the outcome in Ezra.
It was something he knew he would never have. Whether it be circumstance such as hiding in solitude on Tatooine for 20 years, or his own beliefs and fears holding him back. It was simply how it would be. However…
“No matter what I might think or feel on it though, I won’t hold you back.”
"He was." Ezra does believe that. " And thank you," the younger man replies, solemnly.
"I didn't want it to be...a secret. Or something you didn't feel like you could talk to me about, if you think you see something, um. Really concerning."

“But don’t worry, if I do see something concerning, I will be sure to tell you.”
Ezra makes a put upon face and gently grumbles, "You know what I mean." He's pretty sure Padmé and Anakin weren't remotely as much a secret as they thought, but the 'secret' certainly caused problems anyway, didn't it?

More firmly he adds, "Good."
