Leia nodded and motioned over to the bearded man on the other side of the lounge. "Twin brother, actually, though this place is odd enough that we're not here from the same time, so I guess we aren't the same age anymore. Luke. And he did. We were separated at birth but we've had a good few decades since finding each other." Leia smiled wryly. Good times and bad, yes, but he was at least always there as part of her whole.

	"How tragic," Mary said, "but also how fortunate that you found each other again." And how odd that they apparently came from different times and were now different ages. Sometimes this place was incredibly difficult for Mary to wrap her head around. "Forgive me, I should introduce myself. Lady Mary Crawley." She held out a hand to her.

	"It was inevitable, I think sometimes." Leia thought about the circumstances that had prompted them to meet again, and everything that had happened since. She smiled and shook her hand firmly. "Senator Leia Organa," she introduced before she thought better and caught her use of that title. She had only given it up a few weeks before after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Senator?" Mary asked with a smile. "That is an honor. Technically we don't have senators where I am from, but of our equivalent, very few of them are women. Not all women can even vote yet." She sounded vaguely like her sister, the suffragette. Sybil probably would have been proud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Leia & Mary

[ooc. reposting this because my phone clearly changed matriarchal to patriarchal and the entire meaning of her comment is lost because of that autocorrect.]

Leia had spent years, her entire life, really, studying galactic politics. "There are still some worlds and societies where I'm from that are like that. My homeworld, Alderaan, was a matriarchal society, so that has always been a difficult concept for me to grasp." Her mother was queen, and Leia might have been one day herself, if she hadn't gone into the senate, or if Alderaan hadn't been destroyed.

She smiled at the other woman. "It's unfair for me to use the title anymore. I resigned just recently, but it's a hard habit to break. I've had the same problem with every title I've had throughout my life, really." Princess, rebel, senator, now General...

	"A princess is an even greater honor," Mary said, bowing her head slightly. She knew how to address monarchs in her country, though not necessarily ones from other planets. "It sounds like you've had quite a life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leia waved a hand a bit. "I haven't considered myself a princess in decades," she said. "A full life, sure, but an overwhelming one too. I don't know what to do with myself here." (Reply to this) (Parent)
