10.

The three walked through an outside corridor that led to a starfreighter headed for the royal planet. Anakin walked behind with R2 beside him, mumbles coming from the Jedi and beeps replied from the droid. Sol and Padme walked together in front, appearing as sisters or cousins with their servant two paces behind them.

'Could you take a bag, please, Solaris?' Anakin called from the back, and she glanced over her shoulder.

'I think you have it, don't you, Ani?' she grinned, and he glared, saying something to R2 that Sol didn't hear. Padme laughed, now able to express some emotion as a low-status refuge. She didn't have to be as serious as a senator in the main city of the galaxy. She could now be Padme, the young woman who had more to offer and enjoy than just politics.

'Is that actually your full name?' Padme questioned and Sol turned back to her, a smile lingering on her lips.

'I don't know. I never knew anything more than 'Sol', not even my last name,' she admitted with her eyes flickering to the floor in some embarrassment. Padme noticed and put a hand on her shoulder, leaning in so that Anakin wouldn't hear her reassurance.

'Well, I like it.'

Sol smiled.

The starfreighter entered lightspeed a while after the three refugees and their droid entered its interior. It wasn't glamourous in any sense and resembled a hold to transport storage from planet to planet. But to immigrants who were escaping from debts or bounty hunters, it was low profile, and that's all they wanted.

While R2 was given the job of getting portions from the cantina, Anakin took the time to sleep for the long journey. He was in a crowded room of bunkbeds while Sol sat with Padme on a table together in a next-door section of the freighter. They heard the chaos R2 caused from the stealing of extra food and kept their heads low as the droid came passed. He threw out some bowls of unappetising mush and bread, before shooting off.

'Anakin's having some sort of nightmare,' Sol said aloud, and Padme looked up from her bowl of mush.

'Can you sense him?' she questioned; her eyebrows pinched in worry.

'Yes... but he's soon to wake up.'

Padme nodded and tried not to be too concerned. She cared for Anakin ever since he was a little boy, but she knew he was a Jedi now. She didn't have to worry about him, but she couldn't help it. The way Sol acted about it was how Padme knew she should do the same. It was a Jedi thing to be aware of fellow Jedi's presence, but not attached or concerned for them. They were co-workers and tied to the Force. It was their only guide and love.

'I've never been off of Coruscant before,' Sol decided to change the subject, leaving most of her mush in her bowl. 'Besides making my lightsaber, of course. I've been to the ice planet Ilum, but that doesn't count, at least to me. So, this is my first time on a different planet.'

'How exciting!' Padme exclaimed. 'You'll love Naboo. It has beautiful lakes and the most gorgeous meadows in the galaxy.'

'I can't wait. Anything other than skyscrapers and speeders will be a dream to me.'

'May I ask how come you've never been off Coruscant? I thought Jedi went across the galaxy to keep the peace and such.'

'I never knew,' Sol shrugged and put her folded arms on the table. 'I was on the lower levels when I was young, making a living for myself as a petty thief. And when I became a youngling, I was confined to the temple. Then I was a Padawan, and Master Yoda still never took me on missions. It wasn't until Master Kenobi suggested I come on this one that I'm finally able to leave.'
