Admittedly, I don't know her very well. Though I have gotten the feeling I will.

[He hopes and suspects they will end up being friends.]

Well, we have all been thrust into a situation that's outside our comfort zone. We all have to adjust in some form, and that can be difficult.

[unphase]

Ah. Then I should assume that the Padme I knew was from the future, yes?

[given that she knew a lot. a lot more than your average civilian would]

It is. [a rueful smile] I've been world-hopping since I was fifteen. I'm twenty now. Is this your first world away from your galaxy?

[hasmuchtolearn]

From my future, probably, yes.

[He grimaces slightly because it sounds like her experiences are much like Ezra's]

It is.

[unphase]

That must be terribly confusing.

[but she has yet to run into anyone from her future and is half-glad, half-apprehensive]

The first is always the worst. Entirely new people, customs, experiences...well, it takes a toll.

[hasmuchtolearn]

I can handle new people and new customs.

[He comes from a galaxy full of them after all.]

It's... discovering what happens in my future that has been particularly difficult. Everyone here from my galaxy has experienced it and I haven't.

[unphase]

[so does she. but she still chafes at being frozen in place, opposed to exploring the galaxy.

and she gives him an empathetic look] That's not a good feeling to have. Have they tried to avoid giving you details about your own fate?

[hasmuchtolearn]

They did but I kind of... ruined that. I could tell something was up, that things were being kept from me. So I demanded answers.

[He pauses, trying to push down the feelings that threatened to rise again.]

I got them and I didn't take it well.

[unphase]

[she sighs and looks away for a moment] I take it that at least some of the answers were. Unpleasant.

[hasmuchtolearn]

Very unpleasant, yes.

[Perhaps the understatement of the century.]

[unphase]

I'm so sorry. No one should have that looming before them.

[hasmuchtolearn]

Perhaps, but there's nothing to be done about it. I'm managing the best I can.

[unphase]

Still. [a pause] While in Trench, I had a job. Basically to listen to the problems of others. Not always supply answers, sometimes there are none, but listen nonetheless. I know there are a lot of people from your galaxy here already, but...in case one of them may provide a reminder you don't want, please feel free to reach out. I'll listen.

[hasmuchtolearn]

I appreciate it but... I've done too much dwelling on this already. It's time I let go and move on. Even so, I'll remember your kind offer.

[unphase]

[her smile turns a bit melancholy] Of course. That's the hardest part, letting go and moving on. And, thank you. It always remains open.

[hasmuchtolearn]

[There's a touch of amusement in his sad voice.]

Letting go is the Jedi way.

[unphase]

[she looks down and smiles sadly, nodding] I should have seen that coming.
