Obi-Wan was a little surprised that they'd been so readily accepted on such short notice; whether Kista had managed to convince Jade, and anyone else in charge, that the Jedi-pretending-to-be-merchants were trustworthy, or that these people were really that desperate for transports and pilots played a contributing factor to that acceptance remained to be seen.

For the most part, Obi-Wan tried to read between the lines, looking as much at what Kista didn't tell them as much as anything. And unfortunately, what he was able to see seemed to support Anakin's instincts on the situation.

So when Anakin asks his question, it's only a cursory glance at the people around them that's needed for Obi-Wan to agree. "From what I can gather from the whispered rumours, word is getting around about possible trouble."

And by that he means that Kista's secret misgivings about the Separatists were no longer secret. Or, at lest not as secret as he'd like them to be at this stage of the game.
