~~[Hello everyone it's your fave weird smiling 11-year-old.]~~

I... just wanted to say — I did it, Mr. Greed! I finally got Top 10 in pinball, sir, just like you requested! [It's true, ~~thanks to Han~~ she's completely overtaken the scoreboards; hallelujah.] I, um, got all top 10 spots, too! Just in case you wanted me to have all ten... I'm sorry, my memory's a little fuzzy... I'm very sorry! But I did it. I'm glad I can finally move on to my next chore on my to-do list... I keep hearing these distant pinball machine noises in my head, b-but then I realize I'm just tired.

I didn't know games would be so hard! It was very frustrating... I almost frowned through it...

[She chucks very faintly, smiling wide.]

It's too bad that we're no longer near a planet. I-I think my crew would be very happy to have more games on board, like pinball. Or maybe better smelling clothing detergent. I like the kind that smells like flowers. I'll remember for the next place we stop by!

[AH, RIGHT. ANYWAY.]

Actually, I was... going to come on here for a request. If that's okay.

Ah. Well.

....

We need a new blender on the Huntress.

...

A-and if anyone has any spare table cloths, we could trade for those as well. There are large holes in the table currently.

...

And if anyone has something to help remove scorch marks...

[This ship is a f$%*ing mess.]

[ Padme isn't sure what to make of this. The game sounds almost like a punishment. The little girl is so nervous, but she clearly sees nothing wrong with this "chore." This isn't normal.

After a moment of quiet fuming, she schools her expression into a soft smile. ]

What games do you think you would like?

[ If they're simple enough, she can make them once she's shuffled. ]

... That's... a very good question!

I haven't considered it before. O-or not since I was very little.

Are there a lot of fun games that you know of?

My father and I played chess a lot when I was little. I used to play a lot of card games with my friends at school too.

[ Notice the past tense. Padme rarely has the time or motivation to play anymore. ]

[It's okay, Koala understands. Sort of. She wasn't able to do anything like that until recently; sometimes life can be just horrible.]

You could play them here! I mean... you'll have lots of time to.

If you would like, miss.

That's true. I would be happy to teach you some of my favorite games, if you like. I'll need someone to play with, after all.

I would... be honored! I-if it's not an inconvenience.

I'll be sure to do all my chores before I play! I swear!

It's not an inconvenience at all. I don't worry about you finishing your chores-- you seem to be a reliable young lady. Which is why it is important to rest. I doubt your crew would begrudge that.

[ And if they do, they're in for the tongue-lashing of a lifetime. ]

I appreciate your trust in me, miss.

It's just — very strange... being able to do this. To be allowed to... play!

[ It breaks her heart to hear a child say that. Padmé knows there's darkness in the universe. There are children that can't truly be children. The unseen casualties of war.

Her smile remains soft, her voice steady and calm. ]

I'm glad you can play. We'll have to find something really fun for you to try.

[ Ah, the royal "we." ]

Thank you..!

If you're too busy to at any time, I'll understand! I'm very patient. You don't ever have to worry about exerting yourself too much trying to find fun things for me to try!

Don't worry, I won't over-exert myself. It will be a nice thing to focus on.

[are you sure miss padme because you seem like a potential over-exerter...]

You're right, you're very right! I'll be a very nice thing.

I'm sure you'll find the best things, too. I will love them all!

[She'd say that even if she didn't believe it, but Padme seems like a very nice lady with very good ideas, so she puts some faith in her.]

[ shhhh no she's not. ]

I'll certainly do my best.

[ Oh. She forgot one thing, though. ] My name is Padme. I got so caught up that I forgot to introduce myself!

Padme...! What a pretty name. My name is Koala.

If you ever need anything at all, you can always call me!

I'm very quick to answer.

[It's magic. Or, you know, obsessiveness to please. Either/or.]

I will. [ She won't. ] And if there's anything I can help you with, Koala, you're welcome to contact me. We all have to look after each other on this trip.

[ 'Trip' sounds a lot nicer than 'kidnapping' so she's just gonna go with that. ]

Thank you so much. I'll remember your kind offer.

[This has gone so well...! She's proud of herself a little, to not have completely ruined her new friendships. Keep your focus strong, Koala!]
