Padmé Amidala Skywalker (i_cannot_follow) wrote in makebelievelog,

Padmé smiled at the empathetic motion and, genuinely, did mean it. "I've been able to meet both of my children, as adults, here. It's been - sad, in some ways, but it's hard to hold onto it. This place has been an unexpectedly positive thing for me, in many ways." That wasn't mentioning her time without the war, her added time with Anakin, or the child on the way. But there were so many good things, as well as meeting Luke and Leia, that Padmé couldn't bring herself to loathe the Land of Make Believe in the way that so many seemed to do.

"Anakin is capable of so many things, but the one thing I think him incapable of is saying something truly negative about me. He's - so sweet." Padmé remarked with more than a small hint of a goofy smile; it was a bit comedic, given how Anakin could come off amidst attempted Jedi stoicism, but she knew that Anakin was sweet. And she highly doubted Helena would disagree, given her friendship with Anakin. "I think part of my worries stem off of the culture I was raised in. I have the ideas of how I was raised - but I'm not sure I buy entirely into some of them being good ideas. For instance, the idea that the cause of adulthood is based on showing oneself to be mature, rather than age." It meant that children, in some ways, didn't get to be just children.

"That sounds - horrid. And completely unjust." Padmé was very firmly for equality. Sentient beings, no matter their gender, deserved equal opportunities. "You said the 'social constraints of your day,' but you are from Earth - right? Are you from a notably earlier or a notably later date than most here?"

"And I'm - well, I've been told I was a good student. It's a challenge, however. A good one, though. It's fun to fire something where there's no melting or other destruction." Padmé admitted. "I hope to do a bit of - baking adaptation, trying to change recipes I know to more readily available ingredients. And I've written a little, though more to organize my thoughts."
