[She wouldn’t be the first to think that such rules were dumb, among the many they had. But Obi-Wan himself has witnessed what can happen when older children were brought into the Order. Anakin wasn’t the first such case after all.
Her deduction about her parents loving each other does bring a little smile to his face.]
Oh, yes, I do believe that is so. People often behave rashly when they’re in love and not always make the best decisions.
[He can safely say that from his own experience as well.]
And I believe those feelings were used against him. Which caused him to do very terrible things.
You may change your mind one day. Though I admit falling in love does cause a lot of trouble.
[Her next question draws a thoughtful hum.]
It wasn’t something that was so obvious or all at once. This man I believe manipulated him for years in a very subtle way. As he did all of us really. Then when it came time he used Anakin to carry out his plan. He is the reason there are so few Jedi left.
Are you in love? [As if you just casually ask that of someone. He does know he went away with Satine though. And maybe she's a little curious. Even if that's not the point of this discussion. She's a precocious ten year old. Of course she's going to ask.]
Oh.
[Well that's not good. And Obi isn't specifically telling her what.]
So he... went bad? [She is only vaguely aware of what the Dark Side is, the feeling and interacting with some of the siths that happen to be around. It's definitely different, but that's about all of her knowledge that's been explicitly dealt with.]

Is that when everything changed? Because someone else was trying to make him do things?
[It kind of makes sense in very basic terms to her. She frowns though, not liking where this is going already.]
