Chapter 2: After the Throne
When Padmé moves on to the Senate, Sabé moves on as well. The pilot program that flourished during Amidala's reign will continue, with Sabé at the head. Calls go out planetwide for girls with the same strength and cunning that Sabé and her compatriots once possessed. She mourns the departure of each one whether to service (Dormé, Moteé, Ellé) or to death (Cordé, Versé). With no aspirations for a child of her own, she cherishes each girl who walks through her door.
Her bond with Padmé never wavers. On the (rare) occasions the Senator comes home, they hole up in her room in Roo'na's flat for hours. And when she brings a new batch of staff to Coruscant, Padmé's lavish apartment is her own.
It's through these visits and this connection that she first meets Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan, and from that meeting comes an independent contract to train security staff for Queen Breha. With his new role in the Senate, he cannot oversee her safety as much as he'd like, and their planet's political positions put her at risk.
As for the Jedi, she crosses paths with Master Kenobi only once. She's called to give Senator Organa an update to find the Master Jedi arriving for tea. He's polite as ever, and though there's little time for deep conversation, he asks after her family. She teases him about his exploits and they make tentative arrangements for a tea of their own the next time she's on planet, pending his assignments.
She ignores the smirk in Padmé's voice the next time they speak. The Senator's a right hypocrite to be teasing her about romantic entanglements when she herself has none.
She and Kenobi never do have that tea, however. Not on Coruscant anyway.
