Her own disc contains positive memories, but they're ones Leia's not yet ready to see. Whether it's simple intuition or the will of the Force warning her against overwhelming herself, she placed the disc in a drawer to be viewed another day. A day when she's ready to hear her mother's dying insistence that there was still good in her father, when she's ready to see herself taking part in the legacy he left her.

Stumble she does, very nearly bumping into Elena as she rounds a sharp corner a little too quickly. Jedi grace and reflexes save her from crashing into Elena and the wayward kitten, though she was apparently too distracted by her fury to notice the other girl's familiar presence drifting towards her.

"Oh," she breathes. "I'm sorry, I didn't— What is that?"

Elena, she's never seen a kitten before. It was like a pittin, yet somehow far more adorable.

(Don't let Leia name it. She named her childhood pink pittin AT-AV: All-Terrain Attack Vehicle.)

Don't think that Elena's failed to notice how distraught you seem, Leia.

She's been worried about her friend ever since they had that conversation about the Star Wars movies, and everything that comes with it. At the same time, her reaction to the kitten lets her know that it might be just what the princess needs in terms of distraction.

Smiling, Elena lifts the kitten so that it is more at eye level with Leia.

"It's a cat. Only it's a baby, and they tend to be called kittens. People back in my world would keep them as pets." Elena scritches its tummy with her index finger, before glancing over at Leia in encouragement. "You want to try holding it...?"

She's distraught, but she appreciates that Elena isn't asking. Sometimes concern is appreciated, but now isn't one of those times. Concern would only aggravate her further, and she's grateful for the distraction that comes in the form of this tiny, furry mammal.

"Will it let me?" And yet her hands are already reaching out towards it.

The kitten mewls and some of the ice around her heart melts.

Elena's smile widens into a grin, watching the kitten find a new home in Leia's bosom.

There's your answer.

She continues to scritch the top of its head, the kitten burrowing into Leia now that it's secure in her arms. It is clearly seeking warmth wherever it can, and much prefers the company of two lovely young ladies instead of the older, cantankerous cat it has to share a crate with. "I don't think I have the heart to take it back to the pet store."

Even if she's never had a pet before. Jeremy's gargantuan Saint Bernard who never listened to her doesn't count. :|

	It's difficult to stay angry when there's an adorable baby animal in her arms, nuzzling her collarbone and purring soothingly. Almost as if the little thing knows that she's in a tizzy and could do with some calming. Unintentional or not, this tactic of Elena's is working remarkably well.

Cats are wonderful that way, and Elena is quickly discovering this fact.

"That's what I was telling him before you joined us." It's going to need a name, and it's going to need a really good one. She'll also have to make sure Damon isn't a buttface in its general direction, if the kitty is going to stick around. "I've never had a pet before, so I'm not really sure where to start. Any suggestions?"

Leia's quickly discovering this for herself, and finds herself missing AT-AV. The bright pink pittin wasn't the friendliest thing around, but it was a suitable companion for a little girl who looked as pleasant as can be, but could be quite the opposite when given the chance.

"I don't know." She holds the kitten up. It meows at her, still purring, and flexes its little paws, kneading the air. "Gold Three?"

Codenames for squadrons of pilots probably isn't the best place to draw kitten names from, but there you go. They could call it 'Goldie' or 'GT' for short.

It would seem that great minds think alike.

Elena doesn't comment on how strange Gold Three sounds to her as a pet name; they come from different worlds, and she isn't one to be intolerant of differences. "We could call him Goldie," Elena says with a tiny smile, peeking over Leia's shoulder as the kitten evidently melts in Leia's presence, too.

"He looks like a Goldie," she adds after a moment of deliberation, accompanied by a decisive nod.

	"He does, doesn't he?" The kitten seems to agree, reaching out to boop Leia's nose with one of his tiny paws. She laughs, unable to hold on to her anger. "Where'd you find him?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"At the pet shop. I was surprised to find one here, though I probably shouldn't be."

She's learned by now that this isn't like any other prison she's ever heard about. The whole point, it seems, is to look as harmless and unprison-like as possible. Leia's laughter makes her smile, if only because it seems like Leia hasn't had a chance to do that often. "You want me to take you there? We could see some of the other ones."

"There's a pet shop?"

Leia doesn't know why she's surprised by this. The dome has everything else. Virtual reality or not (and she's still not sure if she fully believes that explanation), there were far too many amenities here to make this place truly prison-like. She felt more like she was in some sort of experimental facility or being put on display like a creature in a zoo.

"Sure," she readily agrees to the offer, needing further distraction from her ire as of late. "Lead the way."
