He realized that his wife meant only to be kind, but the mention of his mother, let alone her name, left him feeling numb. Images of sand--a colorless, gritty substance that got everywhere--and the various creatures that lurked in it rapidly flashed through his mind.
"My mother always liked the name Leia," he offered, changing the subject.

Padme nodded, understanding the underlying feeling.
"Leia?" She said, changing the subject with him.
"I like it."

He smiled brightly, happy that she liked the name--despite his obvious distress with unsettling memories of what seemed, at the same time, like yesterday and like a lifetime ago. He pushed all other thoughts towards the recesses of his mind.
"And Luke...if it's a boy."

"Luke...and Leia."
She nodded to herself. Not traditional names for her home, and they didn't sound like they were for his, either, but she rather liked that. They could belong to anywhere, and be made to mean whatever they wished.
"Let's hope he or she have more luck than we've had lately." She said with a wry smile.

((I'm so sorry! I've just gotten so caught up in schoolwork that I really haven't been able to RP as much as I would like. My humblest apologies, I hope you'll forgive me. )) "And why shouldn't they? They'd be lucky enough to have you as their mother." He smiled and pulled her close, burying his nose in her hair and just breathing her in.

((No worries. RL has a way of keeping us away))
At least she wasn't stranded here alone. She would have been all right, on her own, but it made things better to have along somebody else--especially a someone else that was so important to her. Plus, she would have been stranded and pregnant on her own.
"So, I know we've both looked for ways already, but I was thinking that maybe we could try to find a way to signal Obi-Wan, or the Captain of my personal guard. They have to be looking for us."

"Right," he nodded. "I don't know, I just always assumed that Obi-Wan would know if we were ever in trouble. He always seemed to have a knack for catching me in, er, strange situations."
He smiled, a bit nostalgically.
"But, yes, I'll definitely try to find some means of communication, get a signal out."

"Of course. Then if all else fails, we can find a strange situation to get trapped in, and we'll have your mentor."

"I should hope so," he replied, gently caressing his wife's face. "Obi-Wan's never disappointed me before. But it's a strange planet, this," he continued. "Its inhabitants speak as if they'd never heard of the Senate, let alone the star systems."

"I thought at first that they were just isolated out here, perhaps somewhere in the outer rim, but..."
She shook her head.
"It's more than that. Something's...off, about this place."

"Very off," he conceded. "You don't think--has the Senate ever--ever had reason to conceal the existence of a star system before?"
He spoke hesitantly, knowing of his wife's allegiances to democracy and the government.

She frowned, not liking the question but knowing it was a good one.
"I don't think so. Kamino was hidden, but that wasn't their doing..."
She bit her lower lip thoughtfully.
"There's plenty of primitive systems. At most, they'd just put a protection on it instead of keep it secret, I think."

"Well, make sure that things like the Trade Federation didn't swoop in and start mucking this up, or try to keep the Hutts out if it's far out enough from the Core. Try to let them live in peace until they can leave their own atmosphere."

He bit his lower lip in thought.
"Are you sure there's nothing else?" he inquired, the anxiety obvious in his voice despite his attempts to conceal it. "No reason why they'd hide an entire planet that doesn't know the rest of the galaxy exists?"
