voicetesting, considering eudio
I thought we understood each other. You already know that I have a lot of things to take care of. I can't afford to slack off just because the war is over. It's now, in fact, that it's most important to reestablish the Republic because any system left without a governing body will turn to anarchy -
Yes, you told me that I can achieve at least some of my goals with what you're considering, but I believe in attaining things through hard work, not through dubious arrangements.
You don't even have enough icons yet. This is just ridiculous.

... you've grown a lot.
[But a baby, newly born.]
no subject
I'd hope so.
[Sassy humor aside, she squeezed her mom just as tightly, making up for lost hugs.]
There's so much I want to know about you.
no subject
It is a truth she is starting to understand where she is, although it doesn't make things any less complicated. What incentives are given... Padmé knows that they don't always match up.]
And I you.
no subject
There's so much I don't know. I don't even know your name, mother. It was always a secret. My father's identity was also kept from me, though now I understand why - a lot of people wouldn't want to have anything to do with Darth Vader's daughter while the Empire would've tried to groom me to follow in his footsteps.
[She shook her head disbelievingly.]
My adoptive father and mother - that is, Bail and Breha Organa - I understand now that they protected me all those years.
no subject
[Although she never had gone by that publicly.
But Anakin... Her heart lurches for that. How far will be fall, and she isn't there for him. Yet her attention shifts.]
Bail? He- oh. He was a very dear friend of mine, someone that I looked up to.
no subject
[That made Leia smile. Knowing that her mother trusted Bail - her adoptive father - was good news.]
[Her mother's name was beautiful. It suited her.]
Luke never changed his name. He still went by Skywalker. I became Leia Organa.
no subject
[She had felt the winds of change coming before they had struck. She had made certain that Bail's name never appeared on certain documents and that he play the role of supporter of these changes to appear loyal while working against that.
Still, her brow furrows.] That is rather surprising... Skywalker isn't exactly a common name, and it is one that is fairly well known.
[But there is a smile.]
I am glad though. I know that both Bail and Breha had wanted a child.
[Even if it was her own.]
no subject
I remember your name from the records of the Senate, but he never told me about you. It was probably for everyone's safety.
[She smiled at her mother - her biological mother, who was actually standing with her, talking to her. It was amazing.]
Ben Kenobi probably thought that no one would bother them on Tatooine.
[The irony of it all.]
They took care of me and loved me. I couldn't have had better people to take me in. [She held her mother's hand.]
no subject
[Not everything is easily erased, after all, and she had had her own role in the events, both on Naboo and on Coruscant.] I wouldn't doubt it. Were people to know who you were... It likely would have made you a target.
[She does give a little blink though at the name Ben. Kenobi is, of course, familiar.] Obi-Wan... It is a little out of the way, and not exactly a place where people go for a casual visit.
[Sand. Lots and lots of sand.
Her own fingers squeeze her's back, her expression softening. While she would have preferred to raise her own children, of course, she truly is happy. Bail had always been close and of the same stuff that Padmé was made of.] That does lift my heart to hear.
no subject
[She gave her mother a wry smile that looks so much like Anakin's. The sass is strong with this one.]
Luke and I went there to rescue Han. Han Solo. He was a big help to the Rebellion. [Leia paused for a moment. How exactly did one go about telling their parents that they were seeing someone?] I love him. He's a good man, even if a scoundrel.
[Leia smiled back.] I was surrounded by a lot of good people.
no subject
Whose first words she never heard, and whose first steps she never witnessed.
A daughter who loved someone.
There is so much Anakin in her though. She can see that... And she wonders how Bail handled that. He was a very good man, but, well, he wasn't quite as stubborn as Padmé herself could be.] I am glad. Love... Love is unexpected, but it is something wonderful.
no subject
Just like how you loved . . . Anakin Skywalker?
[She kept her voice neutral, because she didn't want to sound accusing or angry. None of it was her mother's fault, and besides, she was Leia Organa because of everything that had happened in the past.]
no subject
He... He had his own way about him. Even as a child. I thought him utterly strange after our first meeting. [Still, her lips do twitch, clearly finding it a good memory.]
But yes. It was never my intent, especially since we both knew attachment was forbidden for Jedi. Yet... Yet he is the other part of me.
no subject
I know all about that. Falling in love without meaning to, I mean.
[Instead of dwelling on the sorrow of what had been, Leia instead chose to tell her mother about the good things.]
Han's rough around the edges, but he's helped me and the Rebellion in so many ways.
no subject
The heart is not always the easiest thing to understand, but when you know, you know, and I am happy that you have found that someone.
no subject
I wonder if you'll like him. He's a scoundrel.
[She said this with a wry smile.]
