(She is out of breath, resting for the first time since she woke. You might have seen a young woman doing laps or practicing with a long stick, hitting targets she fashioned out of various unimportant (and non-living) objects. She is very careful to not include any droids accidentally in her practice - she is far too fond of them. Especially since she is hitting said targets with all of her might.
Not that she can do much damage.)
What do you do for exercise? I am interested in building my strength.
(Already the weight she gained during pregnancy is disappearing. Not that it bothered her; on her small frame, carrying twins had been difficult - a feat! And she is proud of her body. But in order to help her babies...Anakin...she has to be strong. Stronger than ever.)
I also have a request to make. If Anakin Skywalker arrives, please contact me immediately. (She doesn't think anyone is safe in his company as he is now, but she is certain he won't kill her.)

[His expression sobers a little then, and he nods.]
If he ever arrives, you'll be the first I contact.
[Video]
(His understanding earns a small smile.)
Thank you. I want everyone to be safe.
[Video]
I want everyone to be safe too.
[Video]
(It saddens her that Anakin is no longer associated with safety in her mind.)
He could pose a threat.
[Video]
...there's a chance he could come from a different time. [But he knows that possibility is just as up in the air as being brought here.]
[Video]
(That possibility gives her...hope? Of a sort. But it's complicated.)
I will need to prepare myself.
[Video]
[Most of the time climbing turned out to be the best way to get around derelict starships.]
Oh yeah, BeeDee's always with me. Don't think he'd have it any other way.
[He grins a little at an off-screen beep.]
I wouldn't either.
[And then there's a nod. He's not sure if anyone can really prepare themselves for such things. Just meeting other Jedi had been, well, a lot of things.]
[Video]
(Good boy, BeeDee.)
You would be very lonely without him. He's a good droid.
(Most droids are in her experience.)
Everyone has battles they must face; this is mine.
[Video]
True enough. Don't know where I'd be without him.
[It would have been a lot harder to acclimate around here without him, that was for sure.]
I understand. But if there's anything you think you might need, we'll be here for you.
[Video]
You remind me of him...before everything went wrong. You're a good person and I don't want you to come to any harm.
[Video]
...I'm sorry things turned out like they did.
[Video]
(They have grown on her. R2D2 was hers first and maybe that is somewhat mirrored in his personality? Poor C3PO had to put up with Anakin scaring him with his stunts. No wonder he has anxiety!)
I am too.
[Video]
They sound like quite the pair. Wish I could meet them too.
[He shakes his head. It's unfortunate that things always circle back to the Purge and the war. He knows it just makes it more frustrating thinking about it and the things he's learned from people who've come here. Drawing in a slow breath, he lets it out in a quiet sigh.]
...we just have to keep moving forward. And while we're here, make the most of things, and this strange opportunity we've been given.
