And just like that – the Naboo had a new Queen and a new Senator. And Emilia no longer felt like she had the crushing weight of the lives and futures of several hundred million people pressing down on her. She had borne the responsibilities and the like rather well, she liked to think, but now...

Some of the attendants she had to surround herself with seemed to think that this was some kind of sad day – that they had to commiserate with her the ‘terrible’ day that she was a part of. Emilia didn’t see it that way herself at all but lecturing handmaidens and the like on such matters would...

Weird as it was, she actually kind of enjoyed Emryc calling her "bro" - part of her wondered if it was how most people felt when being referred to as bro. It would make sense as to why so many young men called each other "bro" if it was some kind of secret code phrase to be substituted in for a...

Sometimes, just sometimes, Emilia thought she might get sick of some of Emryc's snark (never would have guessed indeed!) but it hadn't happened yet. Indeed, it didn't seem like it was ever going to happen at all. No, he shot back with some snark, a dry tone and the ghost of what might be...

Breakfast with her President was one thing but breakfast with Emyrc was another thing altogether - he liked to play around on his fantasy Huttball game first thing in the morning to see if there had been any major changes overnight. Not that she had anything to say about it since she enjoyed...

He was probably right - it seemed that no one really gave much of a care for most things. There were drugs being used and sold openly in the streets (she assumed the little clear baggies were for drugs after all), but beyond that there was a general air of depressed freedom. Freedom for them to...

Oh. Well that was at once both gratifying and also rather irritating she had to say. She had apparently done well enough on her disguise to fool Emryc - which was good - but she had immediately given herself away because he has lingered with his gaze. Either he had kind of recognized something...

Ah he poked a hole in her otherwise perfectly formed plan - that she did not actually had any idea where exactly she would find such a bar as the one she described. Honestly she had kind of been hoping that he would chicken out but that was fine, she could roll with this. In hindsight, expecting...

Hiding in plain sight was something she could run with actually. It was something she tended to do herself when she wanted to try and slip past her security team, specifically because she preferred not to physically mess herself up too much. If she was going to get caught out by her security...

Damn that grin! Damn that grin and damn how it made her want to smile right back. If she wasn't certain he was doing it on purpose before, she certainly was now that he had well and truly started to use it against her. The damnedable flush to her cheeks was still present but she knew that...

Coming to a stop was something that was still done at speed and she didn't let go of the hold she had on the speeder-craft until they gradually came to a stop. Certainly they had come down from dizzying speeds and she felt it. She felt it, oddly enough, in the back of her throat as she had been...

Oh thank the Gods he had a second helmet and goggles set. She would have hated to have to turn down the offer considering how much (terrifying) fun it seemed to be but she was not confident enough to tempt fate overly much. Naturally a helmet would do practically nothing if they were to crash...

Oh he was ever so coy when he wanted to pretend that he was not intrigued or amused by something. At least, that was how she chose to read the small movement of his lips - the motions and movements that, one anyone else, would have formed the foundation of a smile. On his chiseled face they...

Sometimes she didn't know if freedom of the press was a good thing - if freedom of the press meant that such absolute drivel made it onto the holonet then would it really be so bad to suspend it? Yes. Yes of course it would be horrible to suspend freedom of the press and she would never dream of...

She hadn’t been aware that she had been concerned he might not appreciate her suddenly deciding that she was coming along with him to enjoy his hobby until he said that it was fine. It was like she had been holding half a breath, waiting to make sure that she was free and clear to relax even...

Ah so she had been right but on a level she hadn't expected; he had been seeking some respite in being alone but it wasn't an escape from the meetings he had gone looking for but rather the media. Having seen her share of the same media she could understand the sentiment completely. Vultures...

The way that he seemed to want to leave upon being found spoke to her - here was a man who valued his privacy precisely because it was so limited. It was something she could relate to but not on the sheer scale that Emryc was exposed to the problem every day. Something of a victim of his own...

Rodia was not, perhaps, the planet one would expect to find a Queen of Naboo visiting but she was hardly just the Queen of Naboo. She was a representative of the ISC and had been tasked with spearheading moves that would help improve industry with the aim of undermining the institution of...

Positions were being handed out now and nothing that she would object too strongly to. Emilia might not be a fan of the two people being awarded positions so far but she was willing to work with the both of them. One was eminently practical to an almost ruthless degree and the other was able to...
