[The true answer was probably 'very poorly'. The answer she gives is somewhat different, and simple.]

I'm used to it. [After this long here, she'd have to be. It doesn't mean, though, that she isn't still always with an eye out to more opportunities or ways to possibly escape.]

[She nods. Getting used to something isn't the same as giving up completely, but it does leave things completely open for tyrants to have their way. It's how the Empire started, after all.]

Is there something about you that I absolutely must know? What do you do in your spare time? What do you do to fill your days?

I should ask you. [But since Leia is the one who, in fact, asked, Ami answers after that polite disclaimer.]

I like swimming, and chess. [Her two hobbies, and she is very proud of them because they aren't studying. It dawns on her then that Leia has no preconceived notions at all since they've just met. This is a good chance!]

[Hahahaha, Ami, you should get used to the fact that Leia is extremely inquisitive and will ask a lot of questions until she's more sure of herself.]

Swimming is an admirable hobby. Do you get to do that a lot? And I've played holochess, but I guess there isn't a board for that here, is there?

[Nope. Leia doesn't know anything at all about Ami besides what Luke's told her, so you're in the clear. Besides, Leia would admire your studying habit. Intelligent conversation is sometimes really hard to come by for a highly educated person such as herself.]

[One thing at a time! But no, really, the interest is gratifying and Ami can't help warming to it. Leia seems like a genuinely nice person, and that reminds her of someone. She shakes her head.]

There's a set. Luke gave me a holochess set once. If you'd like, we could play sometime, [Learning a new chess variant? Best present ever. Yes, your brother and Ami are hopeless, Leia. But it works for them, and Ami's learned that's what's important.]
