Mara realized she had no idea what to do with a pet. Her life had never really worked well for having other creatures in it - or even really other people. This wasn't to say she hadn't had friends or colleagues, but having close relationships, even with something as small as an animal, had always been challenging. This was perhaps part of the reason she'd been reluctant to jump into training as a Jedi back in her own reality. But Luke had been working on convincing her - and then when she'd come here he had and - she swallowed and pushed away thoughts of Luke. It would do none of them any good if she were to get emotional and sentimental right now.
"I've been doing a bit of walking," she returned to Padmé's question. It sounded better than saying she'd been in her quarters the entire time since Luke had gone. "I've been out in the town a bit. I picked up an application at a coffee shop - it isn't really something that's ideal for long term, but it seemed like the sort of place where they might need people quickly and it would give me a reason to get out of the castle." A distraction.
"I've been thinking I should do some more reading, honestly."
