The Vanquish

She'd certainly been awake a moment ago. And she'd certainly been on a different ship. With some difficulty, she manages to sit up and swing her feet over the edge of the bunk. One hand presses against her belly as she looks around. This is very concerning.

Getting to her feet, she steps out into the corridor of the strange ship. Decision made. There's no point in sitting around and waiting. She sets out to search the ship for an owner... or answers.

To market, to market.

They're only there for another week or so, then they'll be back where the others had come from. Needless to say, she's going to need more clothes than what she was wearing. She can be found flitting between the various markets in the nearby vicinity, stocking up on clothing, accessories, toiletries, and anything else she might need. Also luggage. She'll definitely need some luggage to pack it all in.

If she sees someone who looks like they don't quite fit in (either by their clothes or the way they're looking at everything) she'll approach them with a smile. "Hello. If I might be so bold: are you from Agra 10?"

About the City (Near the end of the month) CW for beginning labor

Once Padme had learned about the unlimited credit they'd been given, she knew she had to put it to good use. Once she'd bought all of the things she would need, she bough out several markets worth of clothes, food, and other useful items. Hiring some people and droids to help, she had them all boxed up and sent to lower-income areas of the city. She'd lived there long enough to know where it would do the best good. Things had changed in 900 years, but not that much.

Holding her belly, she gestures to a droid. "No, no. That box goes over there with the crates of food going to CoCo Town." The droid beeps and toddles off.

As it leaves, Padme frowns, swaying a little. A protocol droid approaches her, "Are you quite alright? Perhaps you should sit."

Padme nods, "Yes. Yes I think that's a good idea."

IT'S TIME! (Near end of the month) (Closed to Obi-Wan. Anyone else can sit in the waiting room.) CW: Birth (non graphic)

Padme cries out in pain, reaching out, searching for Obi-Wan's hand. "Obi-Wan... please don't leave me. I can't...." She cries out again. "I can't do this alone!"

A Jedi healer smiled kindly at Padme. "You're doing fine. You all are."

Wildcard!

She was no Jedi, but Clarice could pick up on Obi-Wan's worry, too. She stood and put a hand on each of their shoulders, smiling. "Over the course of a couple of days, you've taught me quite a lot, and well. Any mistakes I've made about any of it are my own because of the way my own world has colored my perceptions. I'm pretty sure you'll be a damn fine teacher, if what I've seen is any indication. And ... any help I can be with those two kiddos or their mom, you've got it."

Ezra flashes Clarice a quick smile.

"I still have a lot to learn, Master Kenobi," he says earnestly. After a beat he adds, "I'd love to meet the babies...when they and Padme are ready, of course," he rushes to add.

[hadthehighground]

The reassurance from both of them puts him at ease once more. A smile returning to his face at Ezra’s request to see the babies. “I’m certain Padme wouldn’t mind. Though perhaps give them a chance to get some rest first.”

Giving birth, and to twins no less, had taken its toll on the mother and babies. “And I’m sure she could use all of our help,” he added to Clarice.

It’s then that someone else came in. The elderly Jenet looking between the three of them. “I hear there has been some excitement.”

[thesepreciousthings]

Clarice was confident enough in her right to be there that she didn't quail at the older Master's presence, but she did give a respectful little smile and bow of her head.

"There certainly has. Our friend just gave birth to twins. We were about to go take our leave so she could rest, now that we know it's all gone well."

Though she does have to wonder if Jenet heard it, or sensed it...

[ezra_of_lothal]

Ezra gave Master Fae a small bow in greeting before he asked Master Kenobi, "Has Padme named them yet?"

[hadthehighground]

When the grandmaster entered, Obi-Wan bowed along with Ezra. The rat-like woman looking pleased that the padawan was picking up on his Jedi manners. A twinkle in her eyes at the mention of twins. As for whether she heard or felt it, it was safe to say both.

“Clarice this is Grand Master Fae Coven. She is the leader of the Jedi Order. It’s because of her kindness that we have all been allowed here.”

Master Fae gave the human woman a warm smile. “A pleasure to meet you, though I’m wondering about their names too.”

“Ah, Luke and Leia are their names,” Obi-Wan responded quickly.

Master Fae hummed lightly with that same sparkle in her eyes. “A boy and a girl. I suppose congratulations are in order then, Master Kenobi?” An inquisitive tilt of her brow given to him.

[thesepreciousthings]

"It's an honor, Master Coven," Clarice said quietly when the moment seemed right, giving a proper bow now that she knew that was the etiquette. "Thank you for allowing us to visit your beautiful Temple. Master Kenobi has been a very pleasant and informative guide."

At Fae's comment to Obi-Wan, however, her eyes darted straight to him to suss out any sort of reaction, small as it may be. She knew they were simply friends, but if the Grand Master was insinuating anything... maybe she saw something that Kenobi hadn't picked up on himself.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Ezra...is not touching that implication. He's curious yet not willing to make assumptions.

"I'm sure Padme would happy to receive them," he says cheerfully, like he's oblivious.

[hadthehighground]

Obi-Wan immediately blushes, and his eyes widen slightly at the implication.

“Oh, no, they’re not mine, Master Fae.”

Though now that he thinks about it, he can easily see where that was coming from. So he clears his throat a bit as he composes his own embarrassment.

“I’ve known Padme for a long time. We are good friends, nothing more. But I do intend to help look after her children in the absence of their actual father.”

Master Fae seems satisfied with that and smiles. “And I’m certain those children will be well cared for.” The old Jenet passing Ezra a knowing look. She knows you’re playing dumb, and is very amused by it.

She then turns back to Clarice. “And Im glad to hear Master Kenobi has been taking care of you as well. My order is more than happy to be your hosts during your stay on Coruscant.”

wrapping it up with this round maybe?

[thesepreciousthings]

Clarice gives Ezra a knowing wink once Obi-Wan is busy being flustered with Master Fae. She doesn't have to be a Jedi to pick up what's going down here, especially when the Master herself is telegraphing a little something.

"If there's any way I can show my gratitude beyond words, please let me know, I'd be happy to." She smiles. Even if the Master declines, she intends to donate a good amount of her unlimited credits before they depart.
