"I see, but I remember when the Jedi did not fight as much. They were peacekeepers, not Generals." Satine commented while taking a sip of her drink.
Anakin responded from his pillow, "We fight for peace."
"Oh," Satine laughed, "but that contradicts itself. You cannot fight and say it brings peace."
The conversation continued with Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Satine. You were in your head, stuck on thoughts of your family, both of them. You kept trying to remember more, like your parents or anything but the events leading up to the bomb. All you wanted was to remember something.
"The Jedi are protecting the citizens of the Republic," Obi-Wan argued to one of Satine's points.
"Don't the Jedi take young children from their families?" Satine asked while looking at you.
You finally gave your input to the conversation, "They give a home to those who need it and train children to protect themselves."
Satine and you made deep eye contact and you could feel her emotions. Confusion, pain, relief. She felt ever so deeply that you could tell what everything was. She was confused by your appearance here. She was pained by the memory of both you and Obi-Wan. Overall, she was relieved to see you alive.
"They may but who else do they hurt by their ways? Who do they hurt on their path to defeating the separatists?"
Obi-Wan took over for you when you didn't respond, "You're right, we do hurt others. But we don't try to, not like the Separatists and Sith do. If we can stop them, we can stop the terror they invoke."
Satine was about to respond when a senator stepped in between the two of you.
"I think you have both proven the point that there are two sides to every dilemma," He said as you all stood up. "Now to the vote."
"We need to stop this chaos and get back to order." The Duchess quickly said.
Obi-Wan sighed, "The Republic defenses are the only sure way to protect you all from the Separatists."
Satin stood up, "Even extremists can be reasoned with."
They walked toward each other, both with their tall shoulders and attitudes.
"Perhaps, if one can be heard over the clanking of their battle droids."
"Ah, the sarcasm of the soldier."
They were close now,
"The delusion of a dreamer."
They were inches away from each other.
"Duchess, Master Jedi, it's been a long trip. I think we could all use a little rest and refreshment."
Drinks came around to you and Anakin, he took one for each of you. Then a smaller tray with two cups of juice on it came to Ashoka and Auren who had stayed respectfully quiet. Anakin handed you your drink and smirked at Obi-Wan and Satine.
"Now let us put politics aside until after dinner," The senator spoke again.
Obi-Wan and Satine continued to look at each other before saying angrily, "Fine!" in unison.
