Obi entered the room with Naya, heading over to the throne. He told Naya to stay by the door, then he approached the Queen.
"Your Majesty." Obi said, kneeling.
"Rise, Sir...? answered the Queen.
"My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, your Majesty." Obi replied
"What is your buisness here, good sir?" inquired the Queen.
"I wish to work as security here in the palace, my lady."
"I see. Have you any qualifications, Sir Kenobi?" asked Amidala.
"I have worked in the mines on Gamoreo IV, your Majesty, and..." Obi faltered, not wanting to finish his sentance.
"And what, good sir?" said the Queen.
Obi had no choice but to respond. "I was once a Jedi Padawan, my lady."
Amidala looked taken aback, but only for a moment. She had not been expecting an answer like that.
"You were once, Sir Kenobi? Why are you not now?" asked the Queen.
"I was removed from the Order." Obi responded, knowing where this converstaion would
end up.
"You were removed from the Order? Then why would I hire you if the Order did not want you?" said Amidala.
"It was not my fault, my lady. I joined a cause that the Council did not want me to join, so they removed me." replied Obi, knowing full well that he would not get this job.
"I see." said the Queen. She paused, as if in thought, then asked Obi another question.
"Is this your daughter?" she asked, pointing over to Naya.
"Yes. Her name is Naya." answered Obi, surprised. He had not been expecting that.
"Naya." said Amidala, addressing the little girl, beckoning her foward.
Naya looked confused, then looked at her father for direction. He nodded in the direction of the queen, telling her to answer.
"Yes?" replied the little girl, still confused as why the Queen would address her.
"Is your father to be trusted?" inquired Amidala.
"Yes Ma'm." said Naya, proud that she could answer that question thruthfully.
"Well, your daughter seems to trust you, good sir, as will I. My handmaiden, Sabé, will take you to get your uniform." said Amidala.
Obi was at a loss for words. He had been certain that he would have been rejected.
"Th..Thank you, mmmy Lady." stuttered Obi.
Amidala smiled. "You are welcome, good sir.
