I've been on a writing frenzy lately...enjoy another chapter ;)
Chapter Ten
Back to Reality: Part One
Moving about their apartment Leia chatted away on her com while images flashed across her data pad. Han watched from the counter as she paced the living room, occasionally walking over to sip from his coffee cup. Another day, another crisis.
"Of course…Yes I saw those numbers." Leia said into her com setting her data pad on the counter and walking down the hall to her office. Glancing over at her pad Han saw something about Naboo but couldn't make out what it said. Leia quickly walked back into the room another pad in her arms. "Yes I have them both now, yes I need you to send over the first set of negotiations before I can proceed." Leia explained to the voice she was speaking too. Seeing his in Han slowly walked over to his wife and gently placed his hands against her shoulders where he slowly massaged her tense muscles. It was too early to be this stressed. Leia continued her conversation but visibly relaxed into Han's touch. "Yes of course I understand the urgency of this. Yes I will be to the office soon. I will see you then." disconnecting her com, Leia sighed loudly, leaning back into Han's touch.
"Breathe." He told her.
"I'm breathing." She told him.
"Picture the beach, just you and me." He suggested hoping it would sooth her stress away. Leia smiled at the mental image and after a few long breaths she felt much better.
"Thank you." She told him moving to gather her things.
"3PO can help you carry those things?"
"No I already sent him to the office. I've got it, I'm a big girl."
"You're actually quite small and I don't want you breaking your back."
"Worry worry." She laughed.
"It's my job to worry about you wife!" Han pointed out as he followed her to the door. "How late will you be?" He asked grabbing some of the things from her arms and walking over to put them inside a bag for her instead.
"I'm not sure, I'll com you when I know something." She said reaching up to lay a simple kiss against his lips. Holding her in place Han ran his hands down her neck, smiling softly. Handing over the bag Leia quickly wrapped it around her shoulder.
"I'll make dinner."
"Sounds good. I'll try and be home soon, husband."
Turning around, Han palmed the door open for her before swatting her ass softly. She squealed and turned to give him a saucy smile before making her way down the hallway.
Leia glanced out at the city around her, the hover cab driving her into work. The surroundings were so different compared to Corellia. They had only been back a few days and already she missed the sun against her skin or the sound of the waves around them. She had promised she would try and relax when they arrived back on Coruscant, she was trying but it was hard. Mon had rushed her with files regarding the Naboo situation and Leia had some how been put in charge on this case. She could handle it and she felt perfect for the job, but she also felt they were pushing her to stay longer, which she didn't want. She thought to herself the sooner I finish this the faster I can start living my life. The cab came to a stop and let Leia out. Stepping out into the Coruscant air, she made her way inside the building, saying a quick hello to the security at the entrance.
Palming herself through the restricted access she quickly made her way up and to her office.
"Good morning Princess Organa." Cherie her secretary greeted her with a smile.
"Good morning." Leia replied opting to not correct her on her recent name change.
"Do you need caf this morning Princess?' Cherie asked.
"That would be lovely, thank you. Was C3PO sent with Luke Skywalker?" Leia asked. Cherie quickly nodded.
"He left this morning to assist Commander Skywalker with his moving preparations."
"Good, good."
Entering her office Leia quickly took a seat at her desk pulling out her data pads. Scanning through she stopped to re-read the conflicts regarding Naboo. While Naboo was a peaceful planet, Emperor Palpatine had left many in fear of joining a new government, even after his death. While most systems feared the Empire, Naboo experienced a unique situation being Palpatine's home planet. People no longer had the deep and dark Empire to fear but the lasting years had left its scars on the planet. They had too much fear. Fear of change and fear of the unknown that was ahead of them. While Naboo itself was a worry, Leia wondered to other planets and systems as well. Other systems had voiced their concern regarding Naboo's population and how trust worthy they could be. Arguments were started and fights debated the citizens of Naboo. Many argued the possibility of the planet being brainwashed to follow and lead in the Empires ways, even now after its destruction. Leia debated her best approach as her door slid open.
"Here's your caf Princess. Can I get you anything else?"
"That will be all. Is Mon Mothma in today?" Leia asked.
"She is, she is currently in a meeting with the Chandrilaian people regarding the capital change."
"Alright, I'll speak with her later."
"Of course Princess. I can inform you when the meeting has ended."
"I would appreciate that."
"Of course Princess."
"You can call me Leia." She offered not feeling so formal these days.
"I'm not sure that would be appropriate Princess, but I appreciate the thought."
"Whichever you prefer."
"Princess!" Cherie said with a smile before leaving Leia alone with her thoughts.
Leia sat back staring at the notes on her desk. She wondered if a trip to Naboo would be necessary. The people could use some hope and perhaps she could give that to them. The last time she had been on that planet had been, different to say the least. She had barely began her tap into the force. It had scared her and overwhelmed her senses. Thinking to Padme now, she wondered how her birth mother would have handled this situation. Surely Leia could use someone like her in this moment. If not for a motherly advice but from a political stand point. Padme had cared greatly for Naboo, Leia did not want to let her down or the citizens of her mothers planet.
The Queen had been kind and supporting the last time she spoke with Leia. She may need to reach out to her again. Hopefully she could understand her stand point as well as how the people of Naboo were feeling in this time of change.
"Princess Leia." She heard the com on her desk say, startling her from her thoughts.
"Yes?"
"Mon Mothma has finished her meeting and requests your presence on her floor."
"Thank you, please inform her I'm on my way." Leia said standing to move out of her office. The lift seemed to drag on as she waited for the correct floor number to appear. Slowly the doors slid open revealing Mon sitting at her desk.
"Leia Hello. I'm sorry we haven't had a chance to speak since you returned from your honeymoon. I trust you enjoyed your time on Corellia?"
"Hello, yes its a very beautiful planet."
"That it is. I'm sure Captain Solo enjoyed returning to his home as well."
"He did, Han enjoyed showing me his home."
"Well it is good to have you back Princess. I'm sure you have been informed about our growing concern regarding Naboo."
"Yes I have. I've been working out a solution actually. I see no reason why this cannot be completed and solved with no trouble."
"What are your thoughts concerning the citizens and their ties to Palpatine?"
"With all due respect I find it a little disheartening to hear some suggesting these people are as evil as he was. They we're very much the victims as was the rest of the galaxy. I'm sure you have heard the stories about the restrictions and regulations he placed on that poor planet."
"I have heard. We must address this with caution my dear. If anyone sympathizes with the fallen Empire we must know of it."
"Surely you understand that some people will always hold empathy for the Empire, many believed in its methods, and those people are found on every planet in this galaxy not Naboo alone."
"Of course, we have won the war my dear but the Empire ruled for so many years. It will take everyone some time to adjust to a more proper government."
"I'd like to speak to the Queen. She was very helpful on my last journey to Naboo and I would like to hear her thoughts on the matter."
"I see, well I have already set you up with an official from Naboo, he'll be running for Senator in the coming months. I believe he could give you the insight you need."
"I'm sure he will be to some use, although I will also be contacting the Queen as well."
"Of course. I've sent you the details on your meeting with our Naboo official. Surely you will clear your schedule to match his."
"Yes."
"I'll need to meet with you following your conversation. I would like to stay in the loop on this."
"I'll let you know what our next step is."
"Thank you dear, I hate to rush us but I promised a lunch with the people from my home world."
"Of course, I can see myself out. Will the Capital be moving to Chandrila with your election completed?"
"It will, sooner rather then later. The galaxy needs a fresh start."
"Understandable."
"We would love for you to join us, of course. Chandrila could use a woman of your talents."
"I'm sure they could, but as discussed this Naboo case will be my final mission."
"If you ever change your mind, be sure to let us know Princess."
"Excuse me." Leia said nodding to the woman before her, slowly walking to the lift and closing the doors behind her. Greeting Cherie, Leia stopped at her desk.
"Cherie, Mon sent over a schedule of the coming days. It's regarding Naboo and the official they are sending here."
"Of course, I have it right here Princess. Would you like me to send it to your data pad?"
"That would be helpful. Can you clear my schedule as well, I'll need full access to him while he is on Coruscant."
"I can do that, I'll take care of everything and send you the details immediately."
"Thank you Cherie, I appreciate it. I need to place a call to my husband." Leia explained nodding to her com before walking into her office.
Waiting for a few minutes Leia was surprised to hear her husbands voice so out of breath.
"Hello….Leia?" He huffed clearly trying to catch his breath.
"Han? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I left the com inside the ship and was outside on top of the Falcon."
"So what? you ran in?" She laughed.
"I wanted to hear your voice."
"It could have been someone else, What if it was Luke?"
"Then I would have been pissed."
"You sound out of shape hot shot, you need to work out more." She teased.
"Yeah I'll show you a work out tonight."
"It's never enough for you." She giggled.
"My wife is pretty hot. How's work?"
"It's ok, dealing with some details regarding Naboo, nothing I can't handle."
"Should I expect you home soon?"
"Yes I think so. There is not much I can do today. I have a few meetings planned with an official from Naboo. My next step will be after that."
"Alright sweetheart. I'll finish up here and go home and start dinner."
"Oh my, an at home husband making me a meal, sounds heavenly."
"You know it Princess."
"I love you."
"I love you too, see you soon." Looking across the room, her office was very quiet and empty. Smiling at the thought of returning to Han at a decent time she quickly organized her files before stepping to leave the room.
"Cherie." Leia called as she moved back to the lobby.
"Yes Princess?"
"I'll be leaving for the night." Leia explained.
"Have a good evening, give Captain Solo my regards." She smiled softly.
"I will, Have a good night Cherie."
Han had never cleaned up so fast. Convincing Chewie they could leave the rest of it until the morning, Han quickly made his way home. Jumping in for a quick fresher trip he emerged clean and ready to cook for his Princess. Surveying his options he quickly grabbed his ingredients and started mixing and slicing things. While things hadn't been perfect since they returned from their honeymoon Han was pleased to see the effort Leia was making to be more relaxed. He prayed to the gods she would stay that way, he needed her to be the girl she was on Corellia and not the over worked politician she was on this planet. Pouring himself a glass of whiskey and Leia a glass of wine he moved to light some candles, might as well try this romance thing. Looking around the room Han was pleased to see how nice everything looked.
"I got this." He said to himself.
"Wow! look at you hot shot!" Han heard from behind him, quickly turning around he was surprised to see Leia standing before him. Looking towards the door he was shocked, he hadn't heard it open.
"Welcome home, I didn't hear you come in." He said pulling her into his arms.
"I'm sneaky." She said pulling away from him and down the hall. "I'm going to change." She explained.
"I'll check on the food."
"Sounds good, what are we having?"
"A little bit of steak and some Cornelian potato sticks."
"Sounds amazing." She said entering the kitchen beside him, newly changed into her robe. Slowly she pulled the pins from her hair reaching over for what she assumed was her glass of wine. Turning to watch her, he always found it fascinating to watch her hair fall from her braids.
"You're staring." She whispered her back to him.
"How do you know that?'
"I can feel you."
"And what can you feel sweetheart?"' He asked stepping towards her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin to her shoulder. A familiar move for them, Leia relaxed into his arms.
"Well I can feel you staring, if I focus I can feel more. I can feel love, almost like I can feel it flying towards me."
"Well that would be a good guess."
"I can also feel calm, but I usually feel calm around you. Unless we're fighting."
"What else do you feel?" He whispered against her ear. Closing her eyes Leia focused her mind and thought of only her husband. She could feel more love around her as she focused in, she also felt happiness with a dash of arousal.
"Well you seem very loving, happy and turned on, at this current moment."
"Not sure you need the force to feel that sweetheart." Han said with a laugh releasing her and moving back toward their meal. Setting herself up on the counter Leia's eyes followed Han's movements, slowly sipping down her wine. Glancing over his shoulder he did a quick double take, realizing she was sitting beside him and hadn't moved to the dining or living room.
"Keeping me company?'
"If you don't mind."
"I don't mind."
"Tell me about your day." She said leaning her hands back against the counter behind her.
"Nothing crazy, although I did need to talk to you about something."
"What did you break and how many credits will it take to replace it?" She laughed earning a glare.
"Nothing your highness! I think Chewie's been wanting to head back to Kashyyyk, you know see the family. He'll never say it but I know he misses them. Its been a while and I think a visit is due."
"That sounds amazing, I'm sure he'd love that."
"I'm thinking of taking off tomorrow."
"Oh, tomorrow?"
"Yeah I think he'd like the surprise."
"How long will you be gone?" She asked her mood deflating.
"Meaning you can't go?" Han asked turning to face her.
"No, I mean I would love to but I have so many important meetings this week. I wouldn't be able to get out of them. But you should go and have a good time." She encouraged.
"I'd hope you would come along Leia, I'm not sure I'm ready to leave you." Han admitted stepping closer to her. Leia opened her legs allowing him to stand between her knees. Her hands held his and she smiled.
"I don't want to be apart either but this will be good for Chewie, he's good to us. You need to spoil him sometimes."
"I'll miss you…" He trailed off.
"I'll miss you too hot shot."
"You're sure you couldn't slip away for a few days?"
"No, I just got back Han. This Naboo thing is important. I'll be tied up all week."
"I could delay the trip?"
"No, now is a good time. With how things are looking I may need to take a trip to Naboo myself, I might need a Captain to take me when the time comes."
"I might know a pretty good Captain."
"I'll need references of course." She teased kissing his nose lightly.
"He's been flying royalty around for years."
"Must be a pretty important guy."
"He's the best, Princesses say so."
"Do they now? How many Princesses have had the pleasure of his company?'
"Just one bossy one." He smirks kissing her sweetly before turning back to grab their dinner and move them to the dining room.
Now sitting beside the fire, the couple snuggled closer draping a blanket along their legs. Leia leaned into her husbands chest, staring down at the flames. Han traced her arms with his finger tips, sending chills through her. Looking down at her, Han smiled at the content look on her face.
"What am I going to do without a scoundrel taking up my time?"
"You'll be bored, very very bored."
"You'll com me?" She asked softly.
"Of course! Haven't you ever heard of digital sex, my words can be pretty creative sweetheart." A blush swept across her face.
"Keep dreaming Solo, no way that's happening."
"Hmm not even for your wonderful husband."
"I need to go to sleep soon." Leia said changing the subject. "I have an early morning tomorrow. What time will you leave?"
"I'm not sure yet, I want you to come say goodbye." He almost pleaded kissing her jaw.
"I will if I can get away. I'm not sure just how crazy tomorrow will be."
"Well I guess we need to say goodbye tonight then?'
"How do you suggest we do that?" She asked trying to roll out of his embrace but was quickly brought back to his arms.
"No running from me sweetheart."
"Should I be scared?" She whispered laying back against the floor beneath her. Han smirked and rolled over top of her. The light from the flames flickered across his face.
"I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just going to make you feel really good." He whispered back leaning in to kiss her. His kisses were slow and deep. She wasn't sure if it was the thought of them being apart tomorrow or what it was, she wasn't complaining about the passion within his kiss. She felt the heat rise as their kisses continued his soft movements against her skin and the warmth from the flames sent pleasure up and down her body.
She was lost in her thoughts and the feeling of each and every kiss Han dropped against her body. Their clothes had disappeared but she simply remembered none of it, too lost in her own pleasure. Biting her lip as Han's kisses traveled down her body. His thumbs grazed against her breasts before his hand grabed hold of her soft flesh. Her desire seems to melt away everything, stress, worry, its all gone. It's only Han and her in this moment. His hand moved as his lips take their places against her skin, Leia's body arching off the ground to meet each movement. His lips traied kisses down her stomach, leaving hot breath against each and every spot. Her arms stretched up as her fingers dug into the blanket that once covered them, now laying beneath her squirming body.
His kisses moved closer and closer to her center ache. Dropping a kiss on her hip bone, he looked up at her smiling to see her head thrown back and her mouth parted. Feeling his movements stop she slowly looked down towards him. Her breath coming out harder and almost begging him to move. Placing another soft kiss against her hip he moved dragging his tongue along her thigh. Smiling against her skin he moved his mouth lower and lower, down her knee and to her ankle. Letting out a frustrated breath, Leia quickly sat up to glare at him.
"Really?'
"Whats the matter Princess?" He asks innocently hiding behind a smirk.
"You know!"
"I know what dear?" He asks her loving her irritation, it some how turns him on.
"Han.." She almost whines tilting her head back to look at the ceiling above them. Catching her off guard Han's palm presses against her stomach pushing her back against the floor once more, before quickly leaning in and kissing her center. Her cry urges him on moving to bring her to a peek he knows is close. Tossing her head back again her eyes close as her mouth makes incoherent noises. She must be moaning his name but his touch and her pleasure seems to take over all of her senses. Listening to her mumbled noises Han can't help but feel pride at knowing her pleasure is in his control. The sound of her panting fills their ears and it isn't long before she cries his name.
Giving her no time at all to recover Han quickly kisses up her body once more, stopping to give her breasts some much needed attention. She slowly drifts back to her mind, her hands pulling at his back, pulling her husband down against her. Pulling his mouth to hers she kisses him deeply all the while his hands gripped her hips lifting her to meet him. Her legs moved to rest around him as he slipped inside her. He breathed her name against her lips his eyes closed. Listening to his voice whisper her name, Leia slowly opened her eyes staring at his face twisting in pleasure. Her mind drifted back to the kitchen earlier. "And what can you feel sweetheart?"' He had whispered into her ear. Closing her eyes once more she reached out, focusing in on her husband. His moans echoed into her ears as she reached further out, suddenly feeling Han's love once more. In the kitchen she had felt him, but this was different. Now her body twitched and arched against him, as she pushed herself further to him. She was feeling everything now, his love, his passion and ultimately all the lust he felt for her in this moment.
Focusing in on his presence around her physically and through the force she sighed his name over and over again. Her heart nearly exploded as his love seemed to cover her, she'd never felt more wanted, more loved and cherished then in this moment with this connection to Han. His desire for her grew as she focused in on the lust they both felt. All her feelings were amplified and she felt on fire. Too lost in their connection she moaned through the erotic thoughts she was feeling. The final thrust of his hips had them screaming each others names, neither moving as they felt the room suddenly moving around them. Looking down at his wife he watched as she slowly came down from her high, the room slowly becoming steady once more.
"Leia?" He breathed out as her eyes opened meeting his. "Was that you?' He asked looking around to where a few things had fallen from the shelves around them.
"I…I don't know." She answered honestly sitting up on her elbows to survey the room.
"Fuck Leia. What did you do?" He asked with a husky laugh, leaning in to kiss her forehead.
"I guess this is what happens when I reach out to you during sex."
"Reach out to me?" He questioned.
"I was just curious, I felt you in the kitchen and I wondered what it would be like during sex."
"Apparently room shattering? What was that like a force planet quake powered by orgasm?" He laughed again.
"It was amazing." She answered honestly her voice going quiet. "I wish I could show you how much I love you, the way I know you love me." She whispered to him, her palm rested against his cheek.
"You show me everyday Leia. I love you Princess."
"I love you!"
Leia had left early the next morning, promising Han she would come to the hangar before he left. Prepping the Falcon for their journey Han was pleased with his surprise for Chewie. Chewbacca had been thrilled at the idea of seeing his family. Tinkering with some wiring Han heard footsteps come up the ramp.
"Hey hot shot! We've got maybe five minutes." He heard her call. Following her voice he swept her into his arms.
"I bet I can make you stay longer beautiful."
"I already had to skip my lunch for this little outing. When are you leaving?" She asked pulling at his jacket and wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Soon, I'm going to miss you."
"Hmm come back to me in one piece?"
"Always." He said looking up to see Chewie walking up the ramp. Roaring a hello to the Princess, Leia turned to face him.
"Hey Chewie!" She greeted.
"Sad to hear you won't be coming with us to Kashyyyk." Chewie told her, Leia nodding lightly.
"I wish I could, but I'm so happy you get to see your family."
"It will be nice to see them." Chewie agreed. "We almost set?" He asked Han.
"Almost, I'm trying to think of a way to kidnap my wife." Han explained, Leia slapping his chest.
"I've got to go, and you need to leave." She told him. "Goodbye kiss?" She asked smiling up at his sparkling eyes.
"Always princess." He told her sealing their lips together in a tender kiss.
"Be careful." She told him.
"You be careful too, no crazy missions while I'm gone."
"I promise."
"Hey maybe you can ask Luke about our force sex." He asked earning yet another slap from his wife.
"Knock it off hot shot! I'm not talking to Luke about that, any of that."
"Just a suggestion. I've got to go, but I can't move." He told her. Leaning up to kiss him once more, Leia quickly put distance between them and started down the ramp.
"I love you." She told him quickly before exiting the Falcon. She stood back a ways as she watch the ship lift from the ground. Looking towards the cockpit she found his gaze, he nodded toward her before the Falcon lifted further into the sky. She hated to watch him leave.
Leia barely made it back to the office in time. Cherie helped her remove her coat before telling her the Naboo Official would be here shortly. Moving into her office she quickly checked her appearance. Making sure she was still looking decent after practically running from the hangar. Hearing voices outside her office she moved to welcome her guest as the door slowly slid open.
"Princess Leia?" The man asked moving into the room. Looking towards him Leia smiled with a greeting. His long robes hung from his large shoulders, his dark skin contrasting against his crystal blue eyes. Noticing his large form Leia silently cursed herself for being so short, made her feel as if she needed to work harder to be noticed in a work setting.
"Yes, Hello It's nice to meet you." Leia said taking his hand lightly.
"Coleman Heswot, Please call me Cole." He said introducing himself.
"I'm so glad we could meet, I understand you'll be running for the Senate soon?"
"You heard correct, I hope to have this settled before then. Surely you understand."
"Of course, I'm familiar with the politics of an election."
"Well you would indeed."
"Please have a seat." Leia offered pointing to her seating area. Both took a seat before Leia started.
"From what I understand the majority Naboo is in full support with the Republic and the new government, is that correct?"
"It is, most of the planet is ready for a fresh start. Now that we are out from underneath Palpatine's rule."
"Some people are worried for change?"
"You could say that. We have lived an interesting life these past years. It will take some adjusting but I'm sure with the proper push and assurance the citizens of my planet will welcome the change."
"I understand there is a rather large population of Gungans on Naboo, are their feelings the same as others? Of course there culture would be different."
"You're correct again your highness. You have done your research on our little planet. It is most impressive." Coleman said with a sparkling smile.
"I'm a quick study."
"The Gungans ideals are not so different from us. They have lived in peace with us since Queen Padme Amidala's peace treaty many many years ago." Coleman explained as Leia's breathing hitched. She focused on his words, refusing to let her personal feelings ruin this meeting. "We did face some trouble over the years as you can imagine. The Empire didn't look kindly to those of non-human descent." He continued as Leia nodded thinking to Chewie.
"But they remain peaceful within your society even after the Empires influence?"
"Some how yes, I'm not going to lie and say it was easy. The Gungans along with the humans on Naboo all have suffered a great deal. Over the years our humans have stood up for the Gungans, which of course was a risk but it showed and earned great respect."
"That's wonderful."
"How does a Princess like you get put on such a stressful case?" He asked changing the subject to her.
"Oh, I'm qualified for the job if you have concerns. I assure you I'm putting everything I have into the peace of your planet."
"Princess you misunderstand me. I would have assumed this would be tossed to a lesser known face my dear. You however have a very well known face, beautiful at that."
"Coleman…"
"Cole Please…"
"Cole, I think it would be best if we discussed your home planet and not my face." She said with a slight blush.
"I'm sorry if I have offended you Princess. I mean no disrespect."
"No offense taken." She said moving to stand and walk to her desk. "I've talked to Chancellor Mothma about my wish to contact your Queen."
"Queen Soruna would love to speak with you Princess. I'm sure of it. I can arrange a meeting if you like."
"Perhaps, I'll look over our plans and see where that leaves us. I'm not sure I'm available to travel to Naboo at the moment. But if need be we can plan a trip in the coming weeks."
"That sounds wonderful Princess."
"Is there anything else I should know about Naboo? or your capital?"
"I can't think of anything yet, may I?" He asked motioning to her data pad.
"Of course, random documents really. From the Empires rule. Feel free to correct me if any of the statements are false."
"Let me just read through this."
"Of course." Leia nodded. "Would you like some caf?" Leia asked Cole.
"That would be lovely, surely I can get it myself." He said moving towards the door.
"Don't be silly. Read through the files and I'll be right back."
Leia moved to leave the room glancing back at the concentration on Cole's face before the door slid shut. Walking the short distance down the hallway Leia quickly poured herself and Cole a cup of caf. Looking down to her com she sighed seeing no messages had come in.
"He just left Leia. He's busy flying the Falcon." She told herself before making her way back to her office.
The hours passed as Leia and Cole discussed plans, options and the best way to visit Naboo and its people. Cole had openly suggested a tour of sorts of the planet. He himself offered to be the Princess's tour guide, making sure she got a real feel for the culture. Agreeing to the tour and of course the meeting with the Queen, it seemed as though her Naboo trip would take place in a few weeks time.
"The Queen will be able to meet with me and the council?" Leia asked looking out at the calendar they had made for her trip to Naboo.
"Of course Princess. Queen Soruna is quite fond of you, there should be no problem with a meeting."
"Alright going down the list. We have the initial tour of the planet and the capital. The Queens meeting and citizens parade."
"Yes, The people will be so pleased to see you Princess, especially along side the Queen."
"I like the idea, I'm sure it can bring some hope into their eyes."
"Of course. Princess Leia, the leader of the rebels there for them." He smiled at her. "I'm going to make a quick call to my team if you don't mind." Cole suggested as Leia nodded. Cole slowly walked out of the office. Taking a seat for the first time in what felt like a life time Leia sighed. It had been a long day, she was tired. Hearing her com go off she smiled and reached for it.
"Hello."
"Hey sweetheart." Hans voice said through the speaker.
"Where are you?"
"We just got here babe. What are you up too? Nice warm bath?" He asked.
"I wish, I'm still at work."
"Leia! Its late."
"I know but my meeting with the Naboo Official was today and we've just been working for hours. Thankfully I think we're at a stopping point."
"Working too hard when I'm not there." Han mumbled under his breath, Leia hearing each word.
"Princess sorry it took so long." Cole said walking back into the room. Noticing she was on a call. "Sorry." He whispered.
"Han, can I com you when I get home?"
"He's still there with you then? Should I be worried."
"No." She stated simply. "I'll talk to you soon."
"Sooner rather than later." Han said as they ended their conversation.
"Sorry I didn't realize you were on a call."
"Oh its ok, just my husband. If you don't mind its been quite a long day. If we're done here we could finish up tomorrow or…"
"I think we've finished. I'll be leaving in the morning. I believe the next time we meet will be on Naboo."
"Oh, well I feel we've gotten a lot accomplished today." Leia said standing up straightening her dress.
"I agree. Well Princess I should be heading out, my team is quite exhausted and I believe your poor assistant is falling asleep out there." He laughed.
"Oh gods is she still here. Poor thing."
