Well, that's not the worst explanation he's heard from someone with no idea. Straightening up into a lecturer's posture feels somewhat silly with kittens crawling all over him- but he does so none the less, carefully steadying one trying to climb the front of his uniform. "The Force is an energy field created by all living things; it surrounds and penetrates us, binding everything together. Jedi are sensitive to this energy an able to manipulate it to defend those around us. Every sentient being is, to some degree or another, sensitive to the Force. Those that are more sensitive than others have a...brightness or warmth to them. A soothing aura to living things- like these kits."

Hence why they're both covered in them, though from Obi-Wan the aura of calm is carefully cultivated. "The Force can guide us through our intuition, enable us to pick up skills quickly, warn us of danger, alert us to allies."
