( he laughs. it's faint, and half a huff of exhaled breath, but it's there. it still isn't something he's terribly practiced at doing, and there's obvious rust to the shiver of sound. and yet. )
Of course. Will you show me how to disassemble it?
( he could very easily figure it out. he watched obi-wan, after all — or at the very least, the boy he had been building his own in those crystal caverns. he could figure it out.
but he is asking. because it is something that is important to ask. )
[ But he certainly appreciates the respect and care that Itachi demonstrates with a tool and object from someone else's world, even not understanding the order from which said object is derived from. It's ... something he's tried for many years to make his former padawan understand, and to this day he isn't sure that he does.
But he won't be making any comparisons right now, not even to himself, in his head. ]
Do you mean to do it at this moment? We might want to head to the armory if so.
It needn't be now if there is another matter that requires your attention.
( but perhaps that is the best solution. separating the components would render it harmless, and no one untrained in such a thing would be able to piece it back together. should finn return, he will be able to reassemble it without difficulty.
and he will stop feeling half so much like he is waiting on the return of a ghost. )
( he does not make any attempt to take the lightsaber back, simply turns and heads for the door, stopping only to slip on his shoes before he steps out into the hallway. once obi-wan joins him, he will fall into step beside him.
the journey does not require them speak, nor lend itself to privacy — so itachi is silent for the trek, and once they arrive at the armory he does not buck that trend, simply lets his companion take the lead. )
[ The silence doesn't bother Obi-Wan. It might have, once, during his own youth when he had been something of an awkward padawan attempting to find his place within the Order, but he has lived with and within silence now for a decade that it feels like an old familiar friend.
It isn't out of place the way it might be for others. And he pockets the lightsaber as he walks alongside Itachi, accepting the position of lead as they pass through the doors to the armory and Obi-Wan finds a flat surface to lay the hilt upon. ]

Well, my schedule isn't especially occupied at the moment. We could walk over there together right now, if you'd like.
