It was too much. She couldn't go on like this. The Jedi's words went on gnawing at her heart and she knew she could get no rest until the question was settled. She knew Obi-Wan's plan was to keep her twins separate from her until they were safe, and they might well be adults, or it may never happen.
She might have lost her children already, be as separate from them as if she was dead. It was NOT an easy burden for the mother to bear.
Standing quickly and silently, she went through the back passages of the palace to the rear shuttle dock, a bay with closed doors so even the best spies had difficulty seeing within. There sat two shuttles, one preparing to depart had a purple-tressed Jedi polishing up the shield and weapons tuning just to be sure.
In ten steps the shuffle of a servant had been replaced by the stride of a senator. Amidala walked again on the surface of Alderaan, and she walked stately up to the Jedi. "Miss Jedi, I am former Senator Amidala of Naboo. Your brother Jedi has offered me and mine asylum with your people. I would like to see this safety you propose and judge for myself if I might risk my loved ones there."
There, a pretty little speech. Who said she was out of practice?
Shampoo turned to face her, her gaze casual and unimpressed. "Ranma no brother, he husband. You want come with Shampoo? You come. Best get on, we leaving."
"Where are we going?" Amidala ventured, even as she began up the ramp.
