Mini Nano, Day 7 snippets
Nov. 8th, 2014 12:25 amSabé & Padmé, reuniting on Serenno:
No face-paint or headdress, no uniform, none of the elaborate robes and dresses that Sabé had once helped her with, only a simple tunic and trousers, her hair braided back from her face. Her dark eyes don't focus on Sabé's face, and for a moment, Sabé feels a cold terror wrap around her heart, until she is close enough to be certain Padmé is tracking her motion, even if she cannot see everything.
She doesn't have a chance to kneel at her Queen's feet before Padmé's hands are reaching for her, clinging tight to her cloak and pulling her in. Sabé wraps her arms around Padmé, feeling a silent sob shudder through her best beloved's too-thin frame. "What happened, Padmé?"
Padmé's voice is as whisper soft and horse as Sabé's own when she replies, telling her everything that has happened since the birth of the Empire from the ashes of their beloved Republic. Sabé tightens her arms when Padmé speaks of the attack on Naboo, the forced flight and her fears for their people.
"But we live." Padmé's voice strengthens as she pulls back, pressing Sabé's arms away so she can stand on her own. "So long as we live, and we can fight, the Republic is not entirely dead. Sleeping, injured and bleeding, but not dead."
