Shmi had to admit that there was a lot to take in since arriving here on the Enterprise. Risa had been lovely and she enjoyed being able to explore it. She hadn't experienced a planet like that in a long time and those that she had been to hadn't come close to it. It was something she would treasure for awhile. She had put off meeting Leia though. As much as she wanted to meet her granddaughter she was having trouble coming to accept it. She wanted to settle in slightly first before doing so. Then Obi-Wan arrived which was good, even though he was a lot older than she remembered, she at least knew him.

She also knew that she couldn't avoid Leia forever.

Turning up at Leia's quarters with a bottle of replicated Wine, at at he agreed upon time, she rang the chime and waited to be let in. The technology here was both familiar and so different to what she was used too. She'd come across similar stuff on some of the more advanced planets that she'd been too but after spending so long on Tatooine it was strange to be surrounded by technology again that was this advanced. It certainly made life easier especially the replicators.

Shmi nodded as she listened to Leia speak. It made sense to her and she had already started to adapt. It was odd, there was no denying it but it was surprising at how quick she had got used to it? Perhaps if she had spent her entire life on Tatooine it might have been different but before she had arrived she had seen plenty of other planets. It might have helped.

"That makes sense. Finding who you are, outside of the constraints of your previous life would be challenging. It took me some time to adjust to being free," she admitted then paused for a moment. "You do know that I was a slave?" she asked hesitantly.

"A strong name. I'm sure he was a wonderful boy," she said with a smile. If what she had seen of Leia was anything to go by she couldn't see him being anything but.

"Chancellor Palpatine?" she asked in surprise.

For Leia, this conversation was more difficult than she anticipated. Half-truths, not wanting to upset Shmi, considering that what Vader did held no bearing on Shmi now, here. She pressed her lips into a tight smile and nodded. "Yes, I knew that. I also knew you were eventually freed. There isn't any slavery here, either, so I hope that you'll be able to live whatever life you want while you're here."

She hesitated. "Ben was, yes," she said carefully. And it was true. Her son, Ben Solo, had been a wonderful boy, a wonderful son - until he wasn't.

Shmi was relieved to hear that. She had pretty much guessed that Leia wasn't telling her everything but she wouldn't push Leia for the full story. If she wasn't telling it then perhaps she didn't want too and she didn't want her granddaughter (that was taking some getting used to even now) feeling uncomfortable.

"Thank you for telling me that," she said with a smile. "I hope to someday meet him if we're all here still. I'd love to here more about your life and what you did if you don't mind telling me?" she asked curiously.

	Her life. Leia thought that would take an eon to go over everything. "I was raised on Alderaan," she said, "and I followed my father into politics. And then I joined the Rebellion and have spent the rest of my life fighting for peace and democracy in our galaxy." So basic, this overview of her life, but it was a start.

	Shmi nodded listening. "It sounds like you accomplished a lot. Did you at least enjoy it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I did," Leia said. "Not always the bad, but the good was pretty good." (Reply to this) (Parent)
