The teasing gesture was rarely given but Anakin understood it for what it was and smiled a little back - even if it's slightly unsure. Not about the course, or their plan. Obi-Wan seemed so proud of him right now, and Anakin didn't want to disappoint him.
Anakin was still a little small for his age - both slight and short for his age, despite the growth spurt. He'd catch up, the Healers assured him, even if he might not be as tall as he might have otherwise been, but there was no way to say for sure. Appearing somewhat as mature as his size would suggest would work in his favor, even if it pricked his pride a little. "Yes Master, I will." It's quiet. For one - their game of 'I don't know you well' and also because Anakin truly wasn't sure how calling Obi-Wan 'Master' would be perceived here. That suddenly hit him and it makes him nervous.
"Off I go." He offered a smile that telegraphed his nerves more than he wished before stalking off to the start of the course.
To some playful teasing from the crowd, some encouraging cheers, and a little mocking laughter.
