bDay 1/bbr

We arrived in Coruscant today, poor dear Cordé and Versé was killed in the attack

on Padmé. We are all finding it hard to bear their loss, but I suppose that is

the duty of a handmaiden. I went with Padmé to the Senate and afterwards to

Palpatine's office, Jedi Masters Yoda, Mace Windu and some others were there.

After some arguement from Padmé it was agreed she would have Jedi protection,

Mace Windu said he would send Obi-Wan Kenobi. I have not met this Obi-Wan yet

but he helped Naboo against the Trade Federation, and Padmé has often praised

his skill as a Jedi.br

br

I just met Master Kenobi, he is very solemn. I found out his apprentice is Anakin

Skywalker, that little boy Padmé became friends with on Tatooine. He is very

outspoken, I don't know why but I am wary of him...br

br

bDay 2/bbr

Padmé was attacked last night, luckily I had underestimated young Anakin, both he and

Obi-Wan sensed the disturbance quick enough, though it was to close in my

opinion. The Jedi council is sending Obi-Wan in search of those responsible for

the attacks on Padmé, and Anakin is taking her back home to Naboo. I wish I

could go as well, I miss Naboo so much... but I can't, I am needed here. I begin

to distrust Anakin again, today when I was helping Padmé pack he was there....

I can't explain it, but he seems attached to Padmé in a rather odd way. It

wouldn't be odd, I suppose, if he weren't a Jedi. But they cannot marry, and he

certainly seems to have feelings for Padmé. I spoke to her about it, but she

quickly dismissed the idea... it seems everyone is acting odd. Padmé is leaving

today, I must go see her off.br

br

bDay 3/bbr

I feel so guilty. After Padmé left with Anakin I went to Master Obi-Wan and asked

him if he had noticed the behavior of Anakin... though I didn't mention Padmé.

I told me it had been there since he was a boy, and assured me he had faith in

his padawan. I came back here and thought about it all night, in the end I'm

ashamed of doubting them when Padmé had dismissed the idea so quickly, and

certainly Anakin's attachment could be completely harmless and innocent.

Still... I have this feeling... I can't help worrying for her.br

br

bDay 4/bbr

I knew Padmé's senatorial duties were tiring, but this is absurd. I am

generally a patient person, but the constant complaints of the spoiled Trade

Federation and Commerce Guilds, the bickering of Senator Orn Free Taa and others

like him, the obsession about doing everything by the book from Mas Amedda, and

hundreds of other annoyances are simply to much! Witnessing these trials only

makes a person hold Padmé in even higher esteem. She is patient, but never

backs down. I'm struggling to keep her departure a secret… I just wish Cordé

or Versé was here for me to talk to. No news yet about Padmé.br

br

bDay 5/bbr

Still no news from Padmé. Same annoyances in the senate, though I am getting used to

it. Jar Jar Binks is my only companion, but I think I would prefer to be alone.

Typho is also concerned for Padmé, he says nothing, but even his battle

hardened face cannot hide it. Once again I'm missing Naboo.br

br

bDay 10/bbr

I've been so busy I've not had much time to myself. Queen Jamilla sent word to me

that Padmé is safe, though Jamilla didn't say where she is. I suspect she is

still on Naboo, and probably has gone to her parents' home. Perhaps I'll

contact Sola and see if I can get any news; I dare not worry Uncle Ruwee or Aunt

Jobal.br

br

bDay 11/bbr

I was able to get a hold of cousin Sola, but neither of us dared mention Padmé. I

think we are both so worried that someone might hear us, and we wouldn't put

Padmé in danger for anything. I suppose it's just me worrying again. The

thought of Padmé with that Jedi on beautiful Naboo makes me worry to much more,

though I keep scolding myself for doubting my cousin. I should know Padmé's

strength of character better than that…br

br

bDay 14/bbr

Still no news of Padmé. Binks is driving me crazy, doesn't he have anything better

to do?br

br

bDay 15/bbr

No news, annoying Gungan, pathetic senate, could things get any better?br

br

bDay 16/bbr

My temper hasn't been the best these past few days, if only there was another

handmaiden who could take over for a few hours… Even young Versé would be

welcome.br

br

bDay 18/bbr

Still no news. I'm having nightmares about Padmé, or at least I think that's what

its about… it's just one big shadow…br

br

bDay 19/bbr

No news is good news. There was a battle on Geonosis, word is that Master Kenobi,

his apprentice, and Padmé were being held prisoner, and almost executed. I've

demanded Typho tell me what Padmé was doing on Geonosis, but to know avail. To

be fair, I know he has told me everything he knows. I'm just so impatient for

news!br

br

bDay 20/bbr

Padmé had contacted me! Its so good to know she is alive! I never really expected her

to contact me even if she were, but I suppose she knew I'd be worried. I

sensed something different about her, perhaps she will tell me when she gets

back from Naboo…
