leia organa is not a hard figure to track down . darling of the rebellion , princess of alderaan , survivor of a beloved peoples . but dormé also has practice in these things , she still has a few connections that make it possible to trace what amounts to more of a feeling than an actual lead . sabé leaves her word that they found the recordings from the medical droid that assisted with padmé’s birth . that delivered the babies . one is easy enough to track , the boy on tatooine , hero of yavin . the other --- the girl --- is not so easy . no trail exists , only a hunch . faint memories of bail mention that he and his wife wish to adopt a child , the coincidence of timing , and then of course there is this . the sight of the girl before her , the spitting image of her mother . ferocity and determination rolling off her in waves . dark hair and kind eyes and a commanding presence , despite her short stature . dormé can just barely manage to hide an amused smile at the ease with which she sees leia tell off another general . knowing that she’s stalled long enough , dormé steps forward , ❝ general organa , ❞ bail would have been proud of her . padmé would have doted on her . and the entire empire will crumble at this girl’s feet , she knows . ❝ my name is dormé , from naboo , i used to work with your parents . ❞ the statement is vague enough to be both true and untrue at teh same time . ❝ i was hoping i might have a moment of your time . ❞ / @exitiosae + for leia !
