7, days

Three days. Five at the most. Considering the galactic timelines perpetually crossed in inter-space flight, it is hard to be exact.

But I am certain that no more than five days lay between when I saw Anakin off on the Coruscant spaceport and when he stepped into the Geonosis arena.

Surely even my Padawan cannot have broken every sacred rule of the Jedi code in less than five days?

In the med-ship, I sit beside his sleeping form, and adjust the bacta-tube that has been placed over the stump.

For the first time in days, my Padawan sleeps without nightmares.
