So, in my part of Canada, there's a convention. If someone's doing you a favour, and it turns out harder than expected:

1. You offer an alternative.

2. The other person expresses doubt, and assures you they will do what they committed to.

3a. If you needed it the original way, you now express gratitude, showing the person that you recognize the extra work they're doing.

3b. If the alternative is actually okay, you make a little joke, emphasizing that there isn't much difference between the two options and the easier one really is fine.

This works fine most of the time. (Issues can come up when you're worse at thinking up alternatives than the other person.) But my language skills are NOT good right now, and migraines are making them worse.

Basically, I just made a 'joke' that was mostly nonsense in the correct tone of voice, and had to pray that the guy driving me home from the car repair shop accepted it and let me out of the car.

He did, thankfully.

whats ur opinion on obitine?

canon obitine is an interesting part of obi-wan's past and an useful narrative foil for anidala, highlighting how a dedicated jedi would handle their romantic feelings and not allow them to warp their judgement. i think the person i had brief but intense feelings for at 16yo is not the most important person in my life decades later, and i think obi-wan is very settled as a jedi master and dedicated to his chosen path, so i don't think he'd leave the order for her as an adult or anything like that. they can be good friends and it can still be devastating that she died in his arms (though ofc from a doyalist perspective, it's kind of disappointing that her story was a footnote in his and she died for his pain, but that's been unpacked elsewhere). it just doesn't compel me as a ship, but i don't dislike canon!!
