Obi-Wan was fairly overwhelmed in general, but not to the degree that he was not adapting. There was enough relief there to carry him quite a while, and enough concern and worry about Anakin to balance that.
Also watching Anakin talking about podracing was still something that gave him quite a bit of joy. The kid was not much of a kid in some respects. Too astute, and too intelligent, and too traumatized even if he didn't quite know it and nowhere nearly as much as he might have been. When he truly acted like one? It was nice.
He glanced toward Padme at the remark and gave her a smile that was sincere, and that was warm. "Better than I have in years, and of course it wasn't overly taxing. Exciting maybe, but not taxing." He truly couldn't even imagine not having come along with them, though he felt a bit bad for being an... obligation, he supposed.
"I am pleased to hear it," Padme said, all sincerity.
She too was finding it difficult to not let her attention setting on Anakin who was as lively as he'd been while on Tatooine.
In turn, she watched Shmi, who was discussing Nabooian music with Rabe. She hoped to have a more intimate conversation with the Skywalkers as well.
"I hope you plan to stay long enough to see the sights of Theed, or beyond?" She did have meatier questions to ask Obi-Wan, but decided to start light.
