'Now this is what I call cold" Padme Amidala muttered as she pulled her protective jacket closer to her body. Even in the hidden rebel base on Hoth Padme could feel her skin freeze.
There was so much to do, sliding into her chair she resumed her work, trying to decipher whether or not any Imperials were in the area.
She was so intent on her task that she didn't see her brother Anakin Skywalker appears behind her until she felt him squeeze her shoulder briefly.
"Padme!"
The ex senator turned, as usual unable to school her features into a perfect mask, maybe it was because Anakin was her little brother but ever since he had lost his sight three years ago Padme could not control her reaction around him.
Her smile however was genuine. "Hey, Ani" she frowned as she saw he wasn't alone.
"Padme, this is my Master, Obi Wan Kenobi"
The frown deepened. Anakin could sense his sister's disapproval, Padme had never been very good at hiding her dislike for the Jedi and her views on their order, especially since it had meant that she had missed out on growing up with Anakin.
"Oh" she stalled, trying to think of a way to be polite, without coming over insincere. Besides Anakin clearly respected this man, Padme could hear it in his voice.
She held out her hand, and the Jedi took it, unlike her own hand his was warm and strong, she could feel her insides take a turn as she reacted to his skin touching hers. Rather brusquely she took her hand back, unused to having this reaction to a man. Her first priority was the rebellion.
"Master Kenobi has agreed to help us here on Hoth, and I thought you would be the best person to tell him everything he needs to know"
'I bet you did,' Padme thought, her brother was clearly enjoying this.
She sent a glare at her brother, who although could not see it was so used to his sisters reactions knew what to expect. In reply all he did was shrug, he was sick to death of his sisters self imposed celibacy and isolation.
"M'lady it seems that the defense of this base is reliant on the energy shield protecting it, perhaps you could show me you're evacuation procedure?" Obi Wan ventured, smiling but his face showed that he knew exactly what needed to be done and wanted to get to work.
Padme gritted her teeth but was determined not to let Anakin's little scheme get to her. At least he was being respectful and kept his distance; he had taken a seat beside her and was leaning close without invading her personal space.
She could do this, as long as he kept it professional, and she didn't get swept away by his blue. Green eyes, that reminded her of her long destroyed home planet of Naboo.
She shook herself, she had blocked out the memory of Naboo's destruction because otherwise she would just overload with grief. She had a job to do, but she knew that this man with a kind smile and eyes that reminded her of the most beautiful lakes on Naboo was going to test her resolve
