... There are nobles that are exceptions?

[What bizarro universe do you live in, Obi-wan?]

[beardstrokes]

Well . . . yes. I've met people who don't care so much for the wealth and power as much as their ability to help others in need. It's not that strange.

Rare, but not strange.

[scrubscrub]

I don't know... it sounds very strange to me.

[But she's at ease, thoughtful. There aren't nobles here. Are there?]

I've never met one like that before. They're... usually all very mean.

B-but I don't think you'd lie.

[beardstrokes]

I'm sure there are some here. Why don't you try and meet them and see if they're the same?

If you want to, of course. I tend to avoid nobles myself, to tell you the truth.

[ He's never liked politics or kings, anything where the power seems to be put in the wrong place. If Satine was here . . . she would have been a good example of a noble. ]

[scrubscrub]

I... I guess I could. Try to meet one.

A — good one.

[She says it like it's stuck in her mouth, and the idea of facing a Celestial Dragon ever again makes her queasy. But she doesn't want to disappoint Mr. Obi-wan, not at all.]

[beardstrokes]

Well, if you want to.

If you've met Leia, she's a noble.

[ If he recalls how Alderaan works and Bail's position. ]

A princess, in fact. Did she seem bad to you?

[scrubscrub]

[wait what]

Miss Leia is a noble?? A princess?

[WHO SAID.]

[beardstrokes]

Well, she must be. Her father is a senator and the ruler of a planet.

[scrubscrub]

... R-ruler of a whole planet...!

That's — that's... Amazing!! How does he keep up??

[beardstrokes]

Well, he doesn't do it all on his own. He listens to his people and they help each other out.

[scrubscrub]

That seems nice. Helping each other out.

[She smiles slightly.]

That's... that's what we do, right?

[Or what it seems like people have been trying to do.

She's a bit overwhelmed by the kindness sometimes, so much so that she can hardly believe in its genuineness.]

[beardstrokes]

I like to think we all do. Sometimes we don't succeed, sometimes the attempt is not well-received. There are many times where kindness is not always liked or appreciated.

But that does not mean we should ever stop trying.
