Ahsoka just stood in her place silently for what felt like an eternity as she tried to make sense of what her master said. In reality, it was only a minute before she was yanked from her thoughts by a hand on her shoulder. She turned her head quickly to see both Padme and Lux standing next to her, looking at her quizzically. Both faces turned to smiles as she met their eyes; and before long, she was smiling herself. Lux took her hand in his and lead her off to a couch on the side of the room and offered her a seat; which she graciously accepted. The dashing young man seat himself to her left, and the senator from Naboo to her right.
"Lux told me all about it. I'm happy for you two." Padme said, the first to speak up. Her face lit up in a bright smile. "What did Anakin want to talk about? He sure pulled you aside in a hurry."
Ahsoka paused, her mouth open to speak. She tried to recall, but it didn't seem like Anakin wanted to talk about anything in particular; just to tear into her with questions and disapproving tones.
"He…wanted to know how I ended up here." She said, less than enthusiastically. The other two caught on to her tone and quickly decided to change the subject.
"It's great that you two are happy together. I always thought I detected a little romance there." Padme chimed in playfully, lightening the mood. Both teenagers looked to their conjoined hands, a faint blush playing on the Togruta's fiery cheeks.
"Lux is a great guy. Thanks for sneaking off to your little secret meeting with his mother—" Ahsoka suddenly stopped, looking over as she realized she had brought up a sensitive subject. She was met with a tender smile that put her immediately at ease.
"I'm happy you brought Ahsoka along, too. I guess we owe you, Miss Padme." Lux added, wrapping an arm around Ahsoka's bare shoulders.
Padme stood, a fellow senator grabbing her attention and pulling her aside for a moment to discuss something out of the young couple's earshot. Lux and Ahsoka took the moment to snuggle on the couch for a bit and watch the crowd, content in each other's company. After another hour and a half, the crowd started to disperse, dignitaries returning to their rooms in the palace or off site hotels for a menagerie of reasons. Ahsoka had dozed off on Lux's shoulder, sleeping peacefully now that the crowd was gone. Instead of waking her, the young gentleman lifted her into his arms and carried her from the palace to his personal transport, then from there to her room in the home they shared for a quiet, peaceful slumber.
