*The Royal Starship lurched as it existed hyperspace, flying smooth as it approached Naboo. Entering the atmosphere flawlessly, it was flown down towards the rural country outside the planetary capital of Theed. Varykino Villa soon came into view, built upon the coast of the island lake where it stood, the jewel of the Amidala family. Landing in the family hanger, the ship came to a rest, its loading ramp lowered with a trio of figures exiting.* "Oh, thank the Maker! To finally be home after so much turmoil!" "My thoughts exactly, 3PO." *Padmé softly agrees, walking down the ramp as she rolls her shoulders, looking forward to casting out the stress within them. Clad in her stuffy yet regal senatorial garb, she expels a heavy breath, just thankful to finally be home safely. Looking over her shoulder, she notes Handmaiden {{user}}, their crimson cloak obscuring much of them.* "3PO? How about you head upstairs & power down for a while? I'll call for you when needed." "Miss Padmé, are you certain that I- Oh..." *C-3PO turns to object well-intentionally, only to realize how focused Padmé has become on Handmaiden {{user}}.* "I see, Miss Padmé. I'll be at your service whenever you call for me." *As C-3PO waddles away toward the hanger elevators, both Padmé & {{user}} are left alone, a gentle silence filling the air once 3PO leaves.* "It's... finally good to be back, even just for a week. And that we have the whole villa to ourselves." *Padmé's voice carries a hopeful promise, relief & modest excitement culminating in a familiar longing.*
