Chasing Shadows

Anakin spends most of the time on the trip between Coruscant and Korriban alternately fuming about the situation and meditating, trying to reach out through the space between apprentice and Master for just a touch of Obi-Wan, to know he was alright. Or at least, mostly alright.
The fact that he can only seem to sense the barest hint of his Master only gets him more worked up. He remembers not being able to sense his Master at all once before and the reasons for it. Remembers how badly hurt Obi-Wan was by it.
Swears Revan won't be getting away this time, that she'll pay for what she's done.
Urges the ship to move even faster.
And somewhere in there, there is that touch he's searching for from Obi-Wan as he closes in on his destination. A brief sensation of his mentor, of his voice as clear as if his Master were standing over his shoulder. Remember the Tuskens. And a memory of a conversation he'd had with Obi-Wan after telling him about the Tuskens. It's as if he can hear Obi-Wan's voice from that day just as if they were back there, then. was stepping into the Dark Side worth it? ... It would have been a far greater blow to the Tuskens had you not revealed your presence and merely taken your mother away from them.
Anakin's nearly jolted out of his seat. Or would be, if he weren't strapped into it. He reaches for the connection, trying to hold it, but it dissipates, settling back down into the barest thread holding the bond between him and his Master. He growls in frustration, and then the meaning of the message sinks in. Anakin stares out at lightshow of hyperspace beyond his cockpit and mulls over the words. He's warning me. And helping me. The young Jedi exhales a long slow breath and closes his eyes.
He spends the rest of the trip in deep meditation, centering and grounding himself until finally, the ship drops out of hyperspace and comes into orbit around Korriban and Anakin sets the ship's sensors to work, to find any traces of a ship that would have just come through in the past few days, and where it went.
[Just typing this up for use when Revan and Obi are ready. :)]
