senator amidala

locked in conversation, sweet smile upon her face as she speaks with senator organa, she doesn’t notice the other man heading in their direction until he is already there. she hopes the way her eyes brighten upon hearing his voice is not so telling as she feels that it is. ❛ general kenobi — ❜ she says in delighted surprise — he is so full of himself, this one. amber eyes search his face and she knows that he has come to collect on the guise of some half baked excuse to get her alone. but she cannot help but love it. love him.

❛ bail, you’ll have to excuse me. i’ll return as soon as i’m able. ❜ awarding him another flash of a smile before turning back to obi wan. ❛ shall we? ❜ she takes her spot next to him, walking along the corridor, turning to him the moment they have rounded the corner, out of ear shot of the other senator.

❛ and to what do i owe the pleasure, general kenobi? ❜ she shoots him a quick look, a dangerous smirk plastered across her lips.

the cobalt marbles of his eyes feel as though they're melting under the warmth of her radiant gaze. his lashes flutter like a padawan in love. he can't help it. he is coddled by the sight of her like a serpent to the flute, seduced by the playful jaunt of her smirk, bewitched by the ethereal glow that surrounds her. his eyelids crescent as he holds her gaze for much longer than intended; but a ripple in the force urges him to look ahead, a stern warning of wandering eyes, probing gazes . . . this was no place for an impromptu, no doubt mountingly intimate conversation between a senator and a general. for now, kenobi molts his loverboy skin to step back into his militant bravado, gently towing the delicately beautiful senator along. his eyes remain forward so as not lose sight of his current cause.

words spoken into her ear send a tickling down her spine, her teeth sinking down into her bottom lip as her eyes narrow in his direction. a dangerous game he's playing, indeed. ❛ if you so dislike the idea of boring me, then i'm certain deliberations won't be in order. ❜ amber hues meet the deep, deep blue of his beautiful eyes and she can't quite help the way her smile lights up for him.

hands perched behind an erect back, ever the diplomatic obi wan kenobi approaches at the haunches of either senator with his head bowed in reverie. ❛ ----but in light of the recent events brought forward by the senate, i'm afraid i must request senator amidala's attention at once . . . on behalf of the order, to be sure. ❜ he gently claps a reassuring hand upon senator organa's shoulder. ❛ rest-assured, senator organa, you have my word only to borrow. far be it from me to intercede a meeting of honorable minds. ❜

in a brief exchange of amiable nods with the venerable bail organa, obi wan extends his arm toward padmé. it's all he can do from keeping his heart from clamoring through his armor toward the palm of her hand when their gazes cross. then, softly, ❛ my lady? ❜

❛ bail, you'll have to excuse me. i'll return as soon as i'm able. ❜ awarding him another flash of a smile before turning back to obi wan. ❛ shall we? ❜ she takes her spot next to him, walking along the corridor, turning to him the moment they have rounded the corner, out of ear shot of the other senator.

when he pulls back, her arms remain clasped behind his neck, her cheeks rosy, flushed with adoration. she believes her heart may beat right out of her chest, butterflies swarming from her insides. ❛  yes. ❜ she says, voice breathless, soft, as the brightest of her smiles takes hold of her features --- exuberant and starry eyed. ❛  yes, i will go with you. ❜ soft giggling escapes her before she is tugging him closer once more, her lips finding his in another kiss --- a testament of her love for him. overcome with that affection, how can anyone blame her for acting in such a way?

As a friend, Emma, that, I fear, is a word…

to go with him is to abdicate her senate seat. to leave her position, to find herself somewhere else, to be set down a different path. and perhaps that wouldn't be a bad thing. she could not give up her mission entirely, but perhaps this could lead to better ways she could help. better ways to over throw the corruption taking hold of their government.
