Shmi found herself taking in Leia and the way she behaved. She certainly wasn't raised in poverty or slavery. She was correct in that there was an air of confidence and something else about her. Her mother must have been someone of standing because she couldn't imagine it having come from the Jedi. They wouldn't have allowed Anakin to raise them. Did he even know they were his children? Captain Solo said enough to make her think that he was aware, though their mother could have passed on that information to the twins.
"Thank you," she said with a soft smile. "It's interesting I shall give you that but once I came to terms with it, it is not too bad here. I enjoyed Risa though, it was a long time since I've seen a planet like that," she admitted. "Honestly I don't even know where to start. There are so many questions that I would like to know. Perhaps you could tell me about yourself?" she asked curiously. "I'm happy to answer any questions you might have of me too. I do not know how much your parents would have told you," she replied simply.
