"Oh." Obi-Wan watched Hughes put the photo away, his eyebrows faintly furrowing. "I'm sure you're anxious to get back to her, then."
Hearing Hughes describe the world he came from helped change Obi-Wan's initial view of isolated planets. For some reason, he'd been assuming planets without space travel were much, much simpler than the political, bureaucratic entanglements that made up the Republic. In some ways, it was still true, but, sadly, Hughes' world sounded similar to a lot of the places Obi-Wan had visited in his lifetime.
Some things just never changed, it seemed.
"It's unfortunate when a government places its own interests above the citizens its supposed to protect," Obi-Wan said, suppressing a sigh. "I'm sorry to say similar problems exist in other worlds, too."
He shrugged a little at the man's question regarding the reason behind space travel. "Some beings are quick to explore beyond what they know if it means finding more resources or better places to live. Others are simply curious, I suppose."
