Jobal stepped between the two and gave Sola a stern look. Then she turned back to Padm©. “Sola’s just concerned, dear,” she said. But her words

sounded to Padm© like condescension, as if her mother was still trying to protect a helpless little girl.

“Oh, Mom, you’re impossible,” she said with a sigh of surrender.

“What

I’m doing is important.”

“You’ve done your service, Padm©,” Jobal answered. “It’s time you had a life of your own. You’re missing so much!”

Padm© tilted her head back and closed her eyes, trying to accept the words in the spirit with which they were offered. For a moment, she regretted coming back here, to see the same old sights and hear the same old

advice.

For just a moment, though. Truthfully, when she considered it all, Padm© had to admit she was glad to have people who loved her and cared about

her so much.

She offered her mother an appeasing smile, and Jobal nodded and gently tapped Padm©‘s arm. She turned to Sola next, and saw her sister still grinning. What did Sola see?

“Now tell me, son, how serious is this thing?” Ruwee asked bluntly as the two neared the door that would take them back into the house. “How much

danger is my daughter really in?”

Anakin didn’t hesitate, realizing, as he had at dinner, that Padm©‘s father deserved nothing but honesty from him. “There have been two attempts

on her life. Chances are, there’ll be more. But I wasn’t lying to you and wasn’t trying to minimize anything. My Master is tracking down the assassins. I’m sure he’ll find out who they are and take care of them.

This

situation won’t last long.”

“I don’t want anything to happen to her,” Ruwee said, with the gravity of a parent concerned over a beloved child.

“I don’t either,” Anakin assured him, with almost equal weight.

Padm© stared at her older sister until, at last, Sola broke down and asked, “What?”

The two of them were alone together, while Jobal and Ruwee entertained Anakin out in the sitting room.

“Why do you keep saying such things about me and Anakin?”
