Thread: Queen Takes Knight  (PocketFullOfPosies)

With the bewildered look upon the Jedi Knights face, the high ground was forfeitfor a moment. Anakin held tightly against her, as he had on those cold nights in space when they had first taken him from Tatooine...Back when she was both Padm and Amidala, but Padm only and always to Annieand more than either Padm or Amidala to Obi Wan Amidala was a faade put on by all Queens of Naboo, the same ethereal and austere nature differed only by a variance in regnal title. To act as a proper and efficient Queen, it was essential to be compassionate without being openly passionate . The stark white makeup of the Queen was painted to present an air of unwavering confidence, split red lips to remember the suffering of her peoplePainted up, to hide her true self as best as possible..But to hide Padm was a difficult task for anyone, including herself. Her spirit was not relinquished beneath the extravagant gowns and courtly rules. Her persuasion and allure all the more enhanced by that ornate make upThough she had gladly cleaned her face of reds and whites, that elegant ferocity that made Amidala a notable force in the Senate had not been washed away. Padm was undeniably herself, despite anyone and anything, she could not forbid herself from being ruled by her heart. A tragic flaw for a politician perhaps, but Padm knew her heart better than most. It was dangerous This was so very dangerous But to deny it, was something they had already failed to do. It felt so much better to indulge Temptation had won years ago the forbidden was far more satisfying. As he laughed, her momentary complacency in self proclaimed victory shattered. What was so funny? The former Queens eyes narrowed slightly, but calmed as the padawan clung a bit tighter, his words making his Master seem more at ease. Though that..incredibly handsome smile, would not excuse him from a few sharp words in private. Padm did not enjoy being laughed at, especially pertaining to her politicsAnd though she knew he had most likely just been taken aback by her sudden announcement mixed with her unexpected arrival,it would still be amusing to taunt him later..to hear him plead for her forgiveness.. The thought alone sent a tremble up her spine, her fingers twitched slightly but thankfully Anakin had already dashed off to select a wine that would be worthy of both their guest and his first time, as far as Obi-Wan was aware, of sampling alcohol. As he approached her, the Senators breath stalled in her throat. Soft pale lips trembled slightly as he leaned in towards her, that rugged scent of sweat and worry ever present upon her Knight. Missed was a tame word, one replaced with longedneeded ached for in their hearts. Dark eyes gazed up towards the man much taller than herself, a smile dancing upon her lips as her eyes for a moment waveredTrembling. This was no time to confess their longings in wordsLater.. From the pinch, her nose wrinkled slightly, her smile curling to a smirk as she took a seat on one of the sleek couches. After the glasses had been set, Anakin immediately sat down beside Padm, his eyes wandering over her face..Studying her to make certain she was alright. So if youre a Senator now, does that mean you can stay here? On Coruscant? Yes! Padm smiled, cupping her hands over Anakins out of a sisterly affection. I resigned a second term as QueenI believe that I am needed here, more so than on Naboo. Her eyes wandered towards Obi-Wan for a moment as the wine was poured. As she watched the clear lilac liquid bubble inside of the sleek glasses, the padawans eyes lingered upon the former Queen, upon his hands trapped between her soft fingertips. Padm elegantly withdrew her hands, taking up a glass, which Anakin immediately followed suit in taking his own. Though, The dark haired girl smirked, raising the glass to her lips as she stole a most vixen-esque glance towards the Master Jedi whilst his padawan eyed the wine before them, I think I may have already stepped upon a few toes in my short time here. I suspect the Senate will simply have to become used to me, without the restraints of Monarchy keeping me tame..
