no piece of skillfully made jewelry, no softest tone of warmth painting the peaceful horizon at silent dawn, no poetic line of affection could compare to what padmé found being the most 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 thing that'd ever existed in this galaxy or the other. no physical matter, no earthy might could overpower the pure sound of excitement in her son's voice; every single time its flow reached her ears and filled her chest with comfort, she felt as though the bruised half of her heart had healed for just a little more.

as a title far more precious than a queen or a senator escaped from luke's tongue and the sound of fast paced steps followed it, the small container of rosy blusher that'd been in her hands got set aside. she turned in her seat to have a look towards the bedroom door and rested her palms down on her thighs, covered by a pearl white dressing gown. a gentle smile rose on her mouth — all of a sudden the little hours of sleep weighed nothing and being awake was 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. whereas the concept of her work slipping through her fingers had once been her greatest fear, it was losing loved ones that'd ended up forcibly taking that crown, to never again let it go. becoming a distant figure to him was a thought that'd begun persistently haunting her, resulting in a well deserved time off duty.

with her thumbs tracing the backs of luke's hands that'd found a way in those of hers, padmé's cordial laughter followed his eager inquiry. it appeared that someone was even more pleased about her temporary leave than she was. ❝ well, well, if it ain't my ever attentive sunbeam ❞, she hummed in response, freeing her right hand to lightly tap luke's nose with her 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐩, ❝ yes, darling. i thought it would be about time for you and i to explore the galaxy a little bit. it's been a long time since we last had some adventures, hasn't it. ❞ too long, in fact, but melancholy had no room here now.

❝ mother ! ❞ luke's voice rang out before he all but burst into the bedroom with a sense of urgency. spotting his mother seated at her vanity, he dashed across the room, swiftly dropping to his knees and clasping her small, delicate hands in his own. ❝ is it true ? have you taken temporary leave from your duties ? ❞ :: @skysaunter
