"Oh! No, I'm sorry, I'm not. I mean, it's fine. Thank you." *But he couldn't stop looking at her.* "You're beautiful," *he said, almost to himself.* Padmé blushed prettily. "That's very sweet of you to say."

*Luke shook himself, and blushed.*
"Sorry. That was... inappropriate. I've had a long day."
*He paused, searching for something that wouldn't sound weird.*
"You've known Anakin Skywalker... long?"
*He knew he shouldn't ask, but she was here, after all these years of not knowing, and to remain silent was impossible.*

"We were children together. In a manner of speaking," said Padmé. "He was nine years old, and I was fourteen."
She leaned forward, urgently taking hold of his hand.
"You must promise not to tell the Order. Anakin's career depends on it. Promise me..."
She put her free hand on her belly and gave him a significant look.

*Luke stared at her, taking it all in. Everyone who could tell him about his parents was dead. Well, that, or evil, which was kind of worse.*
"No, I wouldn't dream of it." Especially since I live years after you're gone... And what's the Order?
*With a start he realized that this beautiful woman's husband, the man she spoke of with bright eyes and parted lips, would one day become the monster responsible for the whirring of his new right hand. The pain of it was like a palpable blow; he hoped she did not feel it to.
Or the being inside her, which had to be him. What was he doing here?*
"Take care of him," *he said, not knowing whether he meant her husband or her son.*

"What's wrong? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced that burden upon you..."

*Luke shook his head.*
"No, no, it's fine. I'm sorry," *he smiled boyishly,* "I've had a hard... year. I just... I never met my mother. Your situation... reminds me of what I could have had. But that was a long time ago."

**AS PADME**
"Who are you, really?" she asked suspiciously.

"Luke..."
*Luke's mouth went suddenly dry.*
"... ah, Starkiller."
