"He claims the spacers used to talk about them."

There's a roll of her eyes and a shake of her head, and it's telling that her preteen self hadn't thought much of his comment at the time. It had been nothing more than an innocent inquiry from a slave boy who had probably never seen a girl as clean and dolled up as her before. If anything, it had been depressing at the time to realize that her pristine wardrobe and good hygiene had made her appear angelic, of all things.

"Master Jinn sensed Anakin's Force-sensitivity almost right away. He arranged for him to be taken to Coruscant for training."

He almost laughs at the bit about the spacers. They do tend to talk a lot, from Han's experience, about things they aren't exactly ever clear on. (It is being filed away in his mind as something to tell the twins, a piece of the story they should know no matter how irrelevant it is to whatever destiny the Force has in mind for them.)

The arrangement could be a lot of things, but Han is hoping it's nothing terrible. He remembers, vaguely, scandals about the Jedi stealing babies from their homes, but he'd never been too upset about the idea when he'd have much preferred getting stolen by a weird religious order to Shrike.

"And you kept in touch?" Only a little suspicious, thanks to his current understanding of Jedi relationship policies.

A shake of her head. It makes the tassels hanging from her elaborate headdress shake and clank lightly against the metal holding her hair in place.

"No. After the blockade, I continued my duties as queen on Naboo while Anakin returned to Coruscant to train as a Jedi."

She says nothing of Qui-Gon Jinn's fate or how he wound up being trained by Obi-Wan instead of the man who found him. That's not a tale she likes to get into, especially since she's missing a lot of the details. Sith Lords and a prophecy Anakin's reluctant to speak of...

"It wasn't until a few yeas ago, when there was a threat on my life, that we met again. After a few near assassination attempts, the Senate assigned Obi-Wan and his padawan to protect me until the assassin was dealt with. Anakin accompanied me back to Naboo while Obi-Wan saw personally to the investigation."

And because there's some of her in Leia, too, she waves a hand dismissively in latent annoyance. "It was all very unnecessary."
