Ashoka arrived in the dinning room where Padme and a handmaiden were finishing things up. "I just finished securing the perimeter of the building. The outside is clear." Padme smiled at the Torguta. "I appreciate you helping out, Ashoka." She look down at the data pad. "These negotiations with the Arthurian delegates are critical and there are a lot of people who don't want them to happen." Padme look at Ashoka again. "You know, it might not be a bad idea. If you stick around."
Ashoka shifted slightly. "Thank you. Senator. But it's not really my place to mingle with politicians." Padme look kinda disappointed which made Ashoka want to change her mind. The handmaiden finish the table and started moving away. Ashoka felt something was wrong.
Moving to the table, Ashoka said. "I do have one question though. If you don't mind."
"Of course Ashoka." Said Padme. Ashoka pick up a fork. "Why did you set the table with utensils? The Arthurian delegates never use them and might find it insulting." Padme touch her chin. "Your right and I was specific in my instructions." She turn to the handmaiden that was walking away. "Excuse me. What is the meaning of this?"
The handmaiden world around a blaster in her hand and began firing. Immediately Ashoka grab Padme and throw both of them over the table knocking it down, making a shield between them and the assassin. "Is she on the guest list?" Asked Ashoka with a smile on her face. "Uh, no." Said Padme calming. Draw her lightsabers Ashoka dove out from cover of the table and igniting them. The assassin shot at her. But Ashoka bloke and redirected the bolts back. One knock the blaster out of the handmaiden's hand while the second caught her in the arm knocking her to the floor.
Ashoka approach the girl who when she raised her head reveal to to be a shifter. Ashoka gasp. Then the shifter got to her feet throwing off her robes and pressing a device her hand. There came a beeping noise from the table. "Ashoka! There's A Bomb!" Cried Padme. "Send it to me!" Yelled Ashoka and Padme kick the table sending it to the Torgurta who use her lightsabers to cut around the bomb and then use the Force to send to bomb out the window. It exploded luckily a safe distance away.
The assassin try to make a run for it but Padme hit her with a vase knocking her out. Ashoka came up next to Padme and put her hand on her shoulder. "You know you remind me a lot of Anakin sometimes." Padme smiled. "Thanks. Well it looks like these negotiations will have to be postponed."
"In that case. I guess I will stay. I'd hate to see all that food go to waste." Said Ashoka holding up a fork. Both laughed. Once the assassin had been dealt with both Ashoka and Padme took their food to the open area and sat on one of the couches.
