After reading that: "To Obi-wan's surprise, Ferus moved forward and embraced him. Ferus, who had always been so proper. It had been so long since Obi-wan had felt an emotion like this that he feared he would be overwhelmed. He swallowed and hugged Ferus back. The rush of feeling felt like a spring water down a parched throat." in the book, yes, I can believe in this pairing....Not in a pairing that they choose wisely, but in one night, that has consequences.
