 We're sorry, Milliways.

But Obi-Wan Kenobi has a song stuck in his head. 

He's not doing anything crass like humming or singing it out loud. In fact, he's just sitting quietly at the bar, reading from a datapad and drinking.

It's just that the Force is now echoing with it, and as we all know the Force can have a strong influence on the weak minded, so...

....we're sorry, Milliways.

"I'm not that kind of an enlightened person," Jin Guangyao says, "my cultivation isn't very strong, I mostly take care of the practical and mundane aspects of our lives, and I do like being attached to the people to whom I am closely connected."

"I was defending attachment as such," Jin Guangyao says, "and why should I expect something of Nie Mingjue that I don't want for myself -- life free of attachment? Of course he is attached to his little brother, his sabre Baxia, the cultivation sect he leads, and us, his sworn brothers."

He may be intensely irritating in his attitude to all of the above, but his affection has never been in doubt.

"One of which, as you say, will end up killing him."

Not that Obi-Wan isn't deeply devoted to a man who is constantly on the verge of losing himself, but who is Obi-Wan Kenobi if not a giant hypocrite?

"Both Baxia, and his duty to his sect and its principles," Jin Guangyao sighs.
