"It was worth enduring the itch to make it to the beard. Like many things, once you get used to it? It's not half bad." His hand slides back from Anakin's head to his shoulder, squeezing gently in a deeply public display of affection but...here it must be allowed, surely? There are no other Jedi around to be concerned, and they've both been removed from that which is familiar.

One change like that from Tatooine to the Temple was jarring enough. If he's mildly unsettled by everything, how difficult must adapting have been for Anakin?

"...I suppose I can take a break, and if you promise not to show off too much- I can walk you through the obstacle course." Movement has, historically, been the best way to help Anakin with his focus- and running down his energy. Obi-Wan is not as young as he once was, and the idea of trying to keep up with this petite variation of his Padawan is somewhat daunting.

All the more reason to give him what he's asking for- a chance to exhaust himself.
