@decoyguard​   //   sabé.

half a year had passed since padmé had first come to in this time, yet with everything that had occurred during the length of them, it felt as though it were much longer than that. the weight of knowing what had happened to anakin after her death, the way her children had been raised, the weight of another war playing out right in front of them, and now, anakin taking over the empire once more despite everything that had been said between them... it was an impossible weight. one that she would not allow herself to share with obi-wan, or luke, or leia. she could not give them the ache in her heart. 

her chin was still up, spine straight as always, but she could not ignore the weight even if she could bear it. moments of happiness before had been few and far between, fleeting at best, and that was the same now. beautiful, kind, but sad.

yet this seemed to be destined to be one of them. “sabé?” no, it couldn’t have been. sabé should have been much older than that – the same as padmé should have been, but... it hurt her heart to think one of her oldest friends could have met the same fate.

Curiosity had always been a thing inside of Ben. Something that led him forward to seek the truth, no matter where he looked. It had pushed him to do most of what he had done, simply because he was curious what would happen. Where would it lead? Where would this path take him? The darkness had led to different places. None the same. None leading to actions he had ever expected. To be called a new Vader had powered him. It had gave him confidence but despite how much love and affection he had for Vader, Kylo wanted more. He wanted to be his own entity. His own power. Vader was his guiding light. His confidant. The person that pushed him forward, despite just being a voice in his head. Still, he breathes easy, knowing his past as he pushes forward to a new future that Padme had laid out for him. No, that helped him find. Yes, helped draw in that curiosity to know just where this path will lead him and to what end it will take. "I have heard stories of you." He speaks, gaze resting upon Sabe without a proper greeting as he looks her over. He can understand why she had been used the way she was but it would be more than just that that would allow his grandmother such a close person, that much Ben knew, because he had spent that time with her. "Tell me, was it worth it?"
