Note 39
Padme,
You're not on Coruscant yet? But I thought that I had heard a report that you had landed her already. Hmmm…..but if you will be coming back to Coruscant, I'll get to see you then! I can't wait to see you again. It's been so long! Yes, I will still be on the planet. I plan on being here for awhile. Travel to or from Coruscant has been restricted lately. Travel has been deemed by the Coruscant Travel Committee to be unsafe except for extreme circumstances. Beings can still travel to and from Coruscant, but it is not being advised. Plenty of individuals travel anyway. I have heard that there have been a lot who have used unregistered transports. It is mostly those in the lower class who use these….but still.
How about this – you let me know when you have arrived on Coruscant….then give me a meeting time and place, and we can see each other.
I have actually seen this Jedi Padawan that you told me about again. I decided to talk to him to see if I could learn more about what is happening with the Jedi. He did not tell me his name. I didn't think to ask him. He did say that his Master was involved in special meetings with the Jedi Council. He wasn't allowed in…he claims that it is because the Council doesn't really trust him. I'm assuming that by this he means that it's because he's just a Padawan and is not yet a full Jedi. Padme…I know what you're thinking…..you're thinking about Anakin, aren't you? You said, "Blond hair, blue eyes, late teens?? I wonder if….no, nevermind, it's probably not him anyways." I highly doubt that it is Anakin, though I don't think that either of us would be able to recognize him now….though we might be able to. I didn't spend nearly as much time with him as you did. However, if my memory is correct, Anakin was little for his age. This Padawan that I'm talking about is quite tall. I know that people an change and people grow at different rates….but it's hard to imagine that this tall, slender but strong Jedi Padawan would be Anakin. I think he's just too tall….plus he is very good looking. I can't imagine Anakin being gorgeous…..I mean he was a little kid the last time we saw him. He wasn't even that good looking for a little kid. He was all right…but I could never think of him as being….handsome.
It sounds like you have lost track of your friends from Naboo. That's too bad.
I hope to see you later this week as well. Keep me informed of your plans. I don't see why it would be unsafe for us to see one another again. Nothing very eventful has been happening on Coruscant lately….well besides all the talk about the vote on the Military Creation Act.
Your best friend,
Sabe
