Three days. [Anakin offers it anyway, because it's really the only question right now that seems to have an answer, let alone one so concrete. The fear in those three days has abated to a point of accepting it after-the-fact, there's nothing to be done with those three days now but to learn what happened and...well. There's never going to be a clean-cut way to move on. Anakin knows that better than most. But set what they can to rights, that he can settle with.
Moving out of that room is a slow,arduous process, and would have been one were Obi-Wan in any better shape to weather it, but once out in the open, Anakin can't help but feel too exposed.]
There isn't anywhere safe.
[It's not quite a snap, he doesn't have it in him when, if he'd been stuck in that damnable room in Obi-Wan's place, he wouldn't want to look at it anymore either. The anger roils elsewhere, just under the exasperation, in the places where he's already second-guessing his letting of Obi-Wan's alien captor go. There will be nothing stopping her from doing this all over again. Whatever "feeding" means.
He can only guess, and all it does is stoke the flames already settled like a wildfire in his heart.
If anything else happens, it's my fault. But it's an acceptance he'll have to swallow and pretend doesn't hurt or that it's one they can live with, if they ever want off this twisted contraption.]
And you're in no condition to wander around, I don't care what you say.
