( Padmé has been adjusting to day to day life and trying to heal. It's frightfully easy to forget what occurred before her arrival - and she has let herself forget - yet quiet moments bring certain thoughts and feelings into plain view. This morning has been particularly hard on her and she rose early and took a walk to clear her mind and lessen the ache of her heart.

She pauses by a garden and smiles, faintly, at the blooms, recalling her own home on Naboo. There had been a garden there, a lake, plenty of walks, plenty of laughter and love...

Is she really only 27? She feels so much older. But it doesn't do her any good to focus on that, so instead she pulls out her journal. )

Does a cure for nightmares exist? I feel like I'm having them even in the daytime.

( It's difficult for her to reveal her weakness; she knows she can overcome this...right? )

I wouldn't ask if they hadn't become bothersome. I am quite capable of caring for myself, but without adequate rest...

( As well as the fear that she might be bothering Anakin and Luke... )

I fear I cannot think clearly.

That would entirely depend on how adequately you can control your mind.

[Spock tilts his head in curiosity...]

It is unfortunate that you are experiencing these waking nightmares.

I thought I had control over my mind. I don't let my thoughts wander overly much.

( Yet the same nightmares visit her again and again. )

Do you have any techniques for calming my mind?

Vulcans subscribe to a very specific method of meditation and emotional control...
If you so desire, I would be amenable to show you this technique?

I would be very grateful. ( She blushes faintly. ) I must sound desperate.

You hardly sound desperate Miss Padme... though you do sound distressed.

May I inquire as to how long you have had these dreams?

Since...

My daughter disappeared.

[Spock was silent for a moment... He had not realized that Leia was sent back home.
While it was good to be out of Luceti's clutches, it seemed most unfortunate for the mother left behind...
Spock bows his head.]

I grieve with thee.

She has left to live her life. I am happy for her. ( If she can focus on Leia's happiness rather than the loss, perhaps she can find peace. ) And who knows, she might return one day and I would like to be here to greet her.

You have a very admirable outlook of your current situation. Though we are given no choice, you are handling it very well.
