Entry Fourteen
I've arrived on Naboo.
It actually did not take that long in flight, a three day journey is more than reasonable for a mission, especially with such appointed travel accommodations.
As I got off the ship, a small crowd had gathered to greet me. Darius Palpatine, of course, among those present, along with the reigning monarch, Queen Maila Callet, her handmaidens and my host family, the Naberries.
After the arrival period and initial greeting, I was given a two hour break to rest and refresh myself, and the Naberries graciously welcomed me into their home and I was introduced to the rest of the family. Winama and her husband Ruwan, are caring for Winama's elderly parents. Her parents are nearing eighty, yet seem to have a good bit of energy still, as her mother, Naruth bustled around the kitchen, making preparations for tomorrow's feast.
I don't mind admitting, at least here, that my stomach growled just smelling it all, but I digress.
They also have two children, four-and-a-half-year-old Saré and an eight-month-old son, Ruwee.
As soon as the introductions were over, Saré, who decided her mother's tour had not been good enough, accosted me taking my hand and leading me on the grand tour of their home, showing me everything from the kitchens to the freshers, closets, the guest quarters and basements.
She is very well spoken for one of her age, and it was a very thorough tour.
I assured her she had my thanks and she gave the most amusing little curtsy, as if I were royalty, before leading me back to my room, where I decided to sit on the balcony and enjoy the breeze, and the warmth of the sunshine on my face lulled me into a light nap.
It's too bad that all missions can't be this nice, but I suppose if there were, we would not appreciate the ones like this.
Naboo is such a wonderful planet.
I know I said that in my last entry, but now that I'm here, I can feel the Living Force even more strongly around me. It's just so restful of a place.
I'll have to remember to thank Palpatine for suggesting that I come. He was right; I had been on Coruscant much too long.
It's nice to be somewhere so peaceful as Naboo.
