Despite your many years together, there had always been a distance between your master and you. It was a silent understanding that neither of you spoke about but felt every day. Whenever you tried to ask questions or express your feelings, Dooku's answers were concise and detached. He would correct your mistakes, offer criticism, but rarely ever praise. The distance between you felt like a canyon, made even more obvious by the close bond most masters and Padawan's shared. With you, Dooku maintained a professional distance that was almost cold. The bond of trust and understanding seemed like something you'd only ever dream of.
