Once they let the serious part of the conversation pass, dinner is the same, familiar affair he's used to sharing with Padmé, and Obi-Wan settles into it gratefully. The familiarity is comforting, soothing, and exactly what he needs after the emotional upheavals the rest of the day has brought.

He's honestly forgotten what they'd discussed about sleeping arrangements, until Padmé brings it up. He pauses, drawing a deep breath to help gather and center his thoughts. "If it bothers you, I can use another room. But I have no problem with it, and it will be required of us at some point, so we may wish to become familiar with it now, rather than necessity dictates."

Obi-Wan knows he tends to get formal and polite in his speech when he's nervous or anxious, and has no illusions that Padmé hasn't picked up on that fact over the years. But he is careful to phrase it in such a way to show it doesn't bother him, and is her choice, without bringing his own personal feelings into the equation. Because the whole truth is, no matter what will or won't be happening, tonight or any other, he very much wants to sleep beside her. Wake up next to her, and know that this truly is his life, now.
