(Video; UN: amidala)

(She is pale and resolved; this is not a woman who is unaccustomed to strife.)

This seems the quickest way to go about my search. (And since her physical stamina hasn't completely returned.) I am Padmé Amidala, Senator of Naboo. Am I known to anyone present?

(She wants to be known. She doesn't want to be known. She wants a friend. She doesn't want anyone to touch her.)

It's not terribly important. (But it is.) Of course we can get to know one another. If you wish to speak, I will listen.

You make a fair point. (And if it weren't important, she wouldn't be frightened of the answer either.)

Thank you. (She feels like a coward for hoping she doesn't. What will she say to them?) Is it common for people to arrive here after death?

[Oh. Well that question earns a raised brow, though he...doesn't seem that startled to hear it.]

I know now how common it may be, but I've known it to happen before, aye. And I have had the misfortune to find one here from my own star that should have been dead twice over.

[No, he's not bitter, not at all.]

A curious question to ask, though, I admit.

[...though from how she looks in her current state, he wonders if he has a fair idea on why she is asking.]

(Should have been dead...twice over? She gives a shudder and brings a hand to her lips.)

I'm sorry for inquiring. (The cold grip of death hasn't left her.) I know I perished; I felt it. I'm not sure what I expected, but I doubt I would have foresaw myself revived on another planet.
