the restlessness that'd slept within her had now begun to make itself known, emotions moving her figure, a kind of excitement making her pace in the lounge area of her new living quarters. the senator who was now ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ a new page in her life and taking the first steps in the senate's halls had found that her chest was full of both hope and doubt; simultaneously she was most eager to get to work and subconsciously protecting her younger self, still quite not over the loss of an ordinary girlhood and overall youth even if she'd claimed otherwise whenever receiving concerned questions. so much had already changed and would keep on changing until her mind would get fully used to the new environment and assignments. however, some things would likely remain the same as they'd been for years โ sabรฉ would notice even the smallest shifts in her ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ซ, and it was more than likely that even without padmรฉ's pacing the handmaiden would've been able to recognize the nudge in her confidence. darling sabรฉ, ever loyal, a stunning beauty herself, was still here to keep the former queen's head above water.
padmรฉ's steps came to halt, hands then clasping in her front. at first the smile finding its way on her lips was one offered with only half a heart, softening eventually to a more genuine one. pale, ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฒ green, elegant gown had reminded padmรฉ distantly of summertime and it'd brought her some distant comfort; the silk felt pleasantly soft against her warm skin. still, it wasn't the attire that made her feel beautiful, but the oddly comforting compliment.
โ so do you. we're naboo's maidens after all โ, she hummed with a hint of humor, freeing her hands and extending them both in sabรฉ's direction in hopes of an embrace, โ thank you for being here today. i mean it. โ
