Tenel Ka couldn't help but keep her gaze trained on her daughter. She was a beautiful young woman. The fact that she was a young woman was unnerving enough, but Tenel Ka didn't know all of the details of how she had become the strong person that she spoke with now. The mother didn't know her daughter. This was a fact that had managed to weasel it's way under the Hapan's skin. she didn't know her daughter as she should. She didn't know the details of Allana's life. She didn't know her likes, her dislikes, or her fondest memories. Tenel Ka knew what she had gleaned from speaking with her daughter in the midst of familial drama in moments and from looking through posts that she saw from her daught eron the communication boards. This wasn't the same as if TK had raised Allana and known these things because she was there. To add to this difficulty Allana wasn't raised by her, she'd been raised by the Solos, by her grandparents. The Queen Mother wasn't sure why this fact seemed to bother her, but thus far she had tried not to think about it in great detail. She knew that she wouldn't give up her child lightly, so there had to have been good reason for Han and Leia to take their grand-daughter. It didn't make it any easier now, though. She had missed so much, she just needed to catch up, needed to spend time with Allana, and she was determined to make it happen.
The reference to Jacen wasn't something that TK thought before saying, she just recognized the similarity. It seemed to be a trait that Allana had more than likely received from her father. In looks, some of the more obvious traits had come not from Jacen, but from Tenel Ka. TK had yet to know whether or not there were similar personality attributes that she and her daughter shared, but she expected that she would find out as time passed, as they took time to get to knkow one another.
"I'm sure your grandparents told you. And Jaina." TK stated before lifting her chin lightly, hearing the question that her daughter posed. She walked confidently and with grace. "I've been doing a great deal of reading, studying the history of this planet as well as the culture." The older redhead stated calmly. "I am not working, though I find that I may pursue this option in the future. I've done very little of importance since I've arrived here. It has, basically, been observing everything around me." There was a smile on her face as she said it, and she meant what she was saying. There was a position that she had heard was going to open up at the library and she found that it did interest her somewhat. What interested her more was her daughter, rather than herself, though. "And you? What have you occupied your time with while here?"
