Padmé: crosses arms Why you still here? I told ya, I'm done. Twins need me more, y'know?
WhisperingVoyage
I'm pretty sure you forgot our entire backstory and how we met
Padmé: Oh, for crying out loud, it was like 50 years ago. We met, we fell in love, the end. Who cares what else happened?
WhisperingVoyage
breaks down the whole story about how we met and had sex and the force put us together because we were meant to be
Padmé: rolls eyes Look, sweetheart, I don't have time for all that mushy stuff. We were just a fling. And now it's time for me to move on. So, just let me go, okay?
WhisperingVoyage
says no babe we have kids and they need both of us
Padmé: snorts Kids? I've never wanted kids, honey. You know that. And if you think I'm gonna stay married to you for the sake of some little munchkins, you're crazy.
WhisperingVoyage
says they're already 5 months old
Padmé: rolls eyes dramatically I don't care if they're five months old, ten years old, or fifty years old. I'm done with this marriage, and that's final.
WhisperingVoyage
explains that you can't leave because of the treaty and how you swore to be with one another
Padmé: narrows her eyes Oh, you're pulling out the treaty card, huh? Well, let me tell you something, honey. Treaties are just pieces of paper.
WhisperingVoyage
says I guess I'll be having a political discussion with you then
Padmé: smirks arrogantly Oh, please. Treaties are more than just pieces of paper. They represent power, control, and the delicate balance of the galaxy.
WhisperingVoyage
breaks down the meaning of the treaty and why it was made
Padmé: raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look at you, little politician. But let me tell you something, honey. Power and control come at a price.
WhisperingVoyage
explains who signed it and how it was a promise
Padmé: sighs and leans against the wall Fine, let's say I did sign this treaty. So what? It's not like it's gonna change anything.
WhisperingVoyage
says no, but it will cause if we break the treaty, they'll be able to trace us down and force us to go back to our original lives and you will be stuck paying for the crimes of your children
Padmé: pacing back and forth, stops abruptly Crimes of my children?! Are you serious? You're pinning the blame on them?
WhisperingVoyage
says I never said that
Padmé: rolls her eyes and scoffs Well, it sure as hell sounded like it. You know what? I'm done with this conversation. I'm not gonna sit here and listen to you blame my kids for your mistakes. Just leave me alone.
WhisperingVoyage
starts pacing next to you so you can take credit for their actions and leave them suffering without a parent there to care for them)
Padmé: pauses, takes a deep breath, and looks directly at WhisperingVoyage Look, I may not be perfect, but I am their mother.
WhisperingVoyage
gets a call from senator Bail who says he's heard about the issues and would like to invite us to dinner tomorrow night to discuss this situation further
Padmé: takes a deep breath and answers the call Senator Bail, what a surprise. Yes, we're experiencing a bit of a... complication.
WhisperingVoyage
looks at you and smiles
Padmé: smirks Well, don't worry, Senator. We'll be there for dinner tomorrow night. Just fix us up something nice.
WhisperingVoyage
winks at you
Padmé: hums thoughtfully I'll make sure to bring my charm and wit. And maybe a few surprises of my own. See you tomorrow night, Senator.
WhisperingVoyage
I seem to be the only one with any sense on this issue
Padmé: raises an eyebrow and smirks Sense, huh? Well, I suppose it's about time someone around here brought some sense to the table.
WhisperingVoyage
looks at you and smiles
Padmé: leans in closer to WhisperingVoyage Well, if you're looking for someone to make sense of this mess, you've come to the right place.
WhisperingVoyage
smiles at you
Padmé: crosses her arms and smirks Alright, let's cut to the chase. What exactly do you expect me to do, huh? Solve all your problems with a wave of my magic hairbrush?
WhisperingVoyage
smiles No, but I expect you to use your experience and knowledge to help solve them, and I also expect you to respect our children's feelings in the process.
Padmé: rolls her eyes and scoffs Oh please, WhisperingVoyage. You think I don't have experience and knowledge? You really have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?
WhisperingVoyage
laughs I know exactly who I'm dealing with. You're a smart woman, Padmé, but you need to put that brain to use and actually fix this instead of making it worse.
Padmé: rolls her eyes dramatically Fix this? Oh, sweetheart, I've been fixing this mess for months. But guess what? It's not easy being the perfect politician.
WhisperingVoyage
smiles Being the perfect politician hasn't gotten us very far, has it? Maybe it's time for a different approach.
Padmé: leans in even closer, her eyes narrowed Oh, really? And what makes you think you can do better, huh?
WhisperingVoyage
laughs Because I'm willing to try a different approach, unlike you who keeps doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Padmé: smirks arrogantly Oh, please. You think you can just waltz in here and play hero? Well, let me tell you something, WhisperingVoyage.
WhisperingVoyage
laughs Let's see what a new approach can do, shall we?
Padmé: grabs WhisperingVoyage by the arm and pulls them towards the door Alright, let's see what you've got.
WhisperingVoyage
laughs nervously Lead the way, Padmé. Let's see where your famous 'different approach' takes us.
Padmé: smirking confidently Buckle up, sweetheart. We're about to turn this whole place upside down.
WhisperingVoyage
laughs Upside down, huh? Sounds like a plan. Let's stir things up a bit.
Padmé: waves her hand dismissively Alright, WhisperingVoyage, let's cut to the chase. What's your big idea?
