[Not really? Because... well... Yeah. Reasons.]

I've heard how Jedi were trained before I was born. It seems rather harsh to take a child that young from their family. But, if you want the sort of detached warrior they seemed to have been, that would be the way to do it.

[Not exactly humane or kind, but proficient. If one wanted machines wearing humanoid faces. Although, Obi Wan seemed rather bad at that sort of detachedness that they were encouraged to have too.]

Perhaps that is true. [She can't help but smile, knowing herself the way she does.] However, it will probably not be to everyone's liking. Not that I live my life for others' approval.

The Jedi do have their code.

[Stated matter of factly, so it is hard to tell what exactly Padmé's thoughts on the matter were. Then again, there wasn't anyone in her family that had become a Jedi. Ani was the first one she had known quite intimately, and even he wasn't what was considered the norm.]

It rarely is, but everyone else isn't who you have to answer to. It is yourself that you have to live with. [Smiling.]

Oh, I have to live with Han and Luke too, to an extent. [Which is a nice feeling, in its own strange way.] But, that's a story for a different time.

[diplomaticsolutions]

No doubt you have many stories... [Her voice trailing in to softness. As many years as Padmé did, more or less, given the age of her daughter. Her own tale that made her who she was.] But there is nothing wrong with living with that as well.

[borntorebel]

Perhaps that's true, but you don't need to hear them all in one day. [She looks down at her cup, surprised to see that it's empty.]

Would you like another cup of tea?

[diplomaticsolutions]

I somehow doubt I could hear them all in one day.

[Even if she did want to. She glanced up though, looking to her daughter, as if trying to read something there. Yet a smile comes, and she nods.]

I would love one.
