[YAY! Sorry, didn't get a notif for this or I would have replied much faster!]
Tenel Ka was completely put together. She had always been the woman that could remain composed. Very seldom did she break from that. However, on the inside she was more than a little bit nervous. Even that, she had somewhat of a hold on. It was difficult not to be nervous, though. Whens he had been pulled from her home, Allana had still been so small. She had been but a tiny child that had known little other than her mother. Tenel Ka had been her mother, Allana had still lived in Hapes. There had been no thoughts of sending Allana anywhere. Tenel Ka could easiliy believe that she had taken such action in the future. The most important thing to her would be Allana's safety. She had a responsibility and a duty to Hapes, but her child, her daughter, mattered as well. Her safety was important. The Queen Mother couldn't imagine that it had been an easy decision. She loved her child, though she might have seemed cold or stone-faced much of the time. She loved Allana and she loved Jacen. Even more she loved Jacen's family. They were her own family in her mind, though it was never stated out loud.
Spending time with Allana was something that Tenel Ka looked forward to. She wanted to get to know the young woman that had formed from the small child much better. She wanted to know her and she wanted to show her that she was not just a mother in name. The redhead had gleaned from conversations with her daughter that they didn't have frequent contact in the future, but being here meant that they had time. They could spend time together. She expected they would do just that. Already there had been moments where the jedi had made mistakes here, but everyone made them. Ordering Allana around was not the way to deal with her, getting to know her would help her be the parent that the young woman needed, though.
Hearing the shouted reply, Tenel Ka reached carefully and opened the door before stepping aside. Her eyes automatically scanned her surroundings. It was not shocking, though Tenel Ka herself had always been tidy and organized. The barking bothered her little, afterall Jacen had kept many strange pets in his younger days. "Take whatever time necessary, I am in no rush." She stated, projecting her voice so as to be heard. The braids that she customarily wore were in place in her hair, her clothing today were reminiscent of the blues that she had worn back home in Hapes, though she lacked the armor that she was accustom to. As Allana emerged, Tenel Ka couldn't help but watch her every move, seeing her father in her. Perhaps it was not obvious to all, but to the Queen Mother there were similarities. "Hello." Mother replied to daughter, offering her a smile. "Are you ready to go now? I thought that we could eat first, perhaps, what do you think?
