"Yes, she'll be a firecracker, that one. Like her mother." He leaves unsaid the speculation that Luke is like his father. One one hand, Obi-Wan truly hopes that Luke will embody everything good about Anakin Skywalker. On the other, he's more than a little scared about Luke taking after him in his temperament.
Luke did have one advantage, here, that Obi-Wan hoped would make all the difference: his training had already begun, in some respects, and circumstances all considered, Obi-Wan hoped to instill in Luke the importance of maintaining balance, focus, and priority. So while he wouldn't discourage Luke from making attachments, Obi-Wan would ensure that Luke understood how and when to let those attachments take second place to duty and obligation.
Which led him back around to his feelings for Siri, and his headache began to reassert itself.
