Chapter 4: Adjusting
"Anakin...Answer me...Anakin..." The comlink vibrated with a voice that belonged to Jedi Healer Bant. A well known Jedi Healer, and a close friend to Obi-wan. Anakin opened one of his eyes turning his head out from the pillow filled couch he was laying on. It felt like he had just been thrown into and through 10 walls. His head ached as he grabbed the comlink with one hand and pulled it towards him, still keeping half of his face buried in the pillow.
"What..?" He said yawning at the end. He wanted, and needed to sleep more. This headache he had was the worse one he has ever had, and his back ached too.
"Ive been trying to contact you for the last hour!" Bant said through the comlink. This struck a chord with Anakin, he unburied the rest of his face sitting up arching his eyebrow slightly in confusion.
"Why? whats wrong?" Anakin asked with a slightly heighten tone of concern.
"Nothing, I am just informing you that Obi-wan is awake!" Bant said gleefully. Anakin couldnt see it but he knew she was grinning on her end.
"Ill be down right away" Anakin said cutting off the connection then sprint walked to the door of the apartment and opened the door, then jog off down to the healers' wing. That woke him up fully.
He turned the corner sharply into the healers' wing going down to Obi-wans' room. He swirled around the doorframe stopping immediatly. Relief flushed over him to see his master awake, and sitting up. One of the healers' was holding his metallic arm, and poking it for reflexes making sure everything was in order. Obi-wan adverted his attention away from the healer and looked up at Anakin.
"Good to see you walking, Anakin" He smiled weakly.
"Good to see you awake, Master" Anakin returned the weak smile.
"Can i go now?" Obi-wan asked looking at the healer.
"Yes, it seems your new arm is working fine" Obi-wan winced slightly, the faint image of his arm being cut off pasted through his mind.
"No worries master, everything will be fine" Anakin said trying to comfort him after seeing and sensing the sudden wince of his master. Obi-wan opened his eyes again nodding in reassurance towards his padawan. Anakin felt as if his master had changed some how, he was different slightly but he couldnt place it. Maybe it was just the fact that he is trying to cope with the fact that he now has a metal right arm instead of his real one. Hopefully that is it, and he will return to his old self after awhile.
"I am all done" The healer said looking up at Obi-wan and smiling. Obi-wan stood up flexing his new arm a bit, the metal clashing on metal could be heard faintly.
"Lets go, Anakin" Obi-wan said moving towards him in the graceful stride he had, it was slightly altered due to the fact of his leg injury that was skin recovered but the muscle that was damaged is still recovering.
"Yes Master" Anakin smiled following Obi-wan out the door.
They went back to their quarters. Anakin went to his room and retired for the day, still needing sleep. Obi-wan decided to head to the Room of A Thousand Fountains. He found that that was his favorite room in the whole Jedi temple. A great place for meditating, it was calm and serene, and He knew no one would bother him.
He sauntered over to one of the big trees and sat down at the base of its trunk. He figured meditation would do him some good, especially right now. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. He replayed the fight in his head. Over and over again, he pin-pointed the exact moment he had faltered. He thought he could be Count Dooku, but as things are now it seems he could not. He starts to think he is weak. He couldn't stop his padawan, what made him think he could take on a former jedi turned dark. One of the greatest jedi of that time, as he thought. He continued to meditate on this.
