This is such an interesting and detailed analysis! I never would have thought to use the moon as a reference for time passing. Or lollipops! Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan would both be proud.
My entirely biased view is that it makes no sense from an internal characterization POV for him to be there for such a short period of time, so I'm willing to ignore the lollipops and phases of the moon to say he stayed in YOHE for a significant amount of time.
Your post also brings up something I had never properly headcanoned to my satisfaction: why the hell did the rebel chieftain send the only person in his camp without any powers to steal the Hallows, when he was in such a hurry and they were so important? I had written into a fic that it was a reconnaissance and theft job, but it still really calls into question the rebel leadership's ability to utilize people. As well as the Alliance's shoddy security.
