[ It was... hard to explain- she pauses a moment to chew on her lip and thing about it. This memory was hard- it was hard to remember the meaning behind Bibble's message, to remember that Saché was being tortured in the camps back home when they were stuck on a planet in the outer rim that seemed to be nothing but sand.
Infinite sand.
And for the Jedi at the time to underestimate them, regardless of that being their entire purpose. ]
Our Queens are elected... and handmaidens a long time ago were recruited as security detail- until that just stopped being common practice. But the Captain of the guard when Padmé was elected was- ah... very vigilant. He made it his mission to bring the practice back into play. So five of us were recruited for our various skills, and mostly because we bore resemblance to Padmé.
[ She licks her lips and takes a deep breath. ] We changed our names to match hers, in solidarity. And we came up with several security protocols- one of which was my switching places with her. She and I worked on the public image of the Queen so that I could step into the role as needed. For her safety.

[Although she can't help but feel like it's kind of erasing who those girls were. It's not her place to judge. But something about it feels...off.
Maybe just because she met Sabé first.
Or maybe because her experiences being mistaken for Padmé have been completely disastrous for the people around her.]
I've never heard of anyone electing a queen before, though.

[ Most Queens they've met have been so by birth or marriage as far as she's aware. ]
It's nice because there's no familial pressure to rule- it's really saved for those who are called to it. Padmé was a very popular Queen. They tried to change the law so she could run again... Of course she didn't allow that, she had too much respect for our government.

[And though she might be, Ariadne is not begrudging of the fact.]
And so are you.

[ Sabé smiles at that... to her, Padmé is the most extraordinary being in the galaxy. She's not perfect- neither of them are...
But to hear Ariadne tell her that she's also extraordinary... She pauses for a moment. She doesn't need to be extraordinary- she's been comfortable being second to everyone in her life: her brothers, her time at the conservatory, and most importantly to Padmé.
But she also doesn't want to burden Airy with any of this. So even though it's obvious the compliment took her by surprise, she manages a smile shortly after. ]
That's very kind of you, Airy.

She wants to learn more about Sabé. But just as you can't force a cat to let you pet its belly, she knows that Sabé is guarded.
Goes with the job.]
I know it wasn't your choice, but thank you for the memory.

I'm glad that it went to you. [ A small pause before she elaborates: ] I trust you with it.

Sabé manages a bit more of a smile as she shakes her head. ]
I know you won't- thank you. I really do appreciate it... and you.
no subject
Listen, I told Padmé this, but I don't think I mentioned it to you. I'd...like to invite both of you over. To see my garden.
I thought maybe you might enjoy some plants that don't try to bite.
no subject
It would be nice to be around plants that aren't actively trying to murder us... which is something I never really had to worry about before finding myself here.
no subject
Well, I'll trust the two of you to find a time.
I'm...I'm always here.

I'll talk to her about heading over one of these mornings, then.
