Shmi Skywalker,

Thank you for your warm welcome. The sand storm took us by surprise, and Anakin was kind enough to offer us shelter. Your house is more than fine, I assure you. We don't judge people...by the cleanliness of their home, or by other means. You're most kind, dinner sounds wonderful. If we can arrange for some currency to do our business with, I'll make sure that what is eaten is replaced. I'm sure your life here is quite hard, and I will not burden you with unexpected "obligations" that do not exist, but that you take on anyway, from the goodness of your heart. I'm sure a visitor is a welcome and pleasant surprise indeed in this rather remote place.

Anakin intercepted a Dug, named Sebulba, from fighting with one of my companions, Jar Jar, the odd amphibious one. Jar Jar is simple minded in many ways, but he does mean well. Unfortunately, meaning well, and doing well, are not always the same thing. Anakin carefully prevented a conflict, with a wise choice of words and reasoning, and saved Jar Jar from certain harm.

I look forward to it, and thank you once again.

Qui-Gon Jinn
