Leia and Imperius

"I see." She absorbed the news about Alderaan, frowning slightly. She'd once stepped foot a planet forcibly stripped of all life, a void in the Force that had felt like suffocation. But it hadn't been a highly populated one like Alderaan. "War never really changes. The sides might. The weapons might. But the act itself remains the same."

She added, after another moment. "The loss of Alderaan is regrettable. It was a beautiful planet. Despite my purpose there, I rather enjoyed my time there."

The Republic had fought dearly to retake it during the war. Though it had been a year before she'd been born, Lomea knew of that battle because it had been part of the stage that set up Darth Malgus's coup. But that coup was a story Lomea would keep to herself, for now.

Leia missed Alderaan every day. Some people might have assumed that the more time that passed, the easier it would be to belay the yearning for going back to her home, but that wasn't the case with Leia. Her heart ached for her home planet. "It was like no other place in the galaxy," she said, slightly hollowly, though she opened her mind to a memory of a trip to a mountain lake she had taken as a child with her parents. Just for a moment, she could smell the fresh air and the scent of the flowers that grew only there.

	There were many places like that. Lomea opened her mouth to say so, then changed her mind. She let Leia have her heartache and yearning and homesickness. There was no gain in twisting the knife. "It does exist. We both remember it." Perhaps that would have to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If only it were that simple," she said as she finished her whiskey, enjoying the burn as it moved down her throat and settled hotly into her stomach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lomea simply nodded and turned back to the view. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
