Anakin has been in Darrow no longer than a day, but is already certain he doesn't care for it. Everything seems so primitive; speeders that roll on wheels, buildings so low to the ground, the streets in some places looking even more bare than the Jedi temple. And no matter how much he focuses and opens himself up to the Force, he can't sense anything beyond the boundaries of the City. To one edge, a shore and a great seat, to the other, a lush countryside, but beyond that... he can't be sure.
It's unsettling, to say the least.
But even though he's been told that they can't leave, Anakin remains unconvinced. With Obi-Wan there as well, he's certain they will find a way out. The two of them have met every challenge thrown their way, and this will be no different. It's not that Anakin is in a great hurry to get back to the war, but he's sure that getting back to Coruscant will mean his best chance at saving Padme. Perhaps it is coming to this place, with its primitive technologies that causes what he saw in his nightmare. He can't let it come to pass.
Obi-Wan explained their predicament in a way that only Obi-Wan could, but Anakin spent most of the day thinking of Padme. Reaching out to make sure he still sensed her in the city. Of course, he couldn't simply steal himself away for the sole purpose of seeing Padme alone.
It's longer than he would like before he's able to go to her, seeking out her familiar presence among hundreds of others in the unfamiliar city. He can't be certain that she's safe until he sees her with his own eyes.
