Padmé's P.O.V
When the light faded we went back to the shuttle, Vader immediately took off and started flying, so I went and composed a summary of the only two hours I payed attention (most of which were glances I put together) and made it sound long, that finshed our mission, I walked up to Vader "I finshed writing the report."
"You will have to talk to master as well as that." Vader said, my heart burned with flames of hate. I was going to analyse Vaders evil master, find every weakness and destroy him, Vader looked at me
"Don't say anything stupid, act submissive even if you want to fight, are you listening? I'm serious, strictly professional, no arguments, I know you don't like master- I can sense it, but you don't want to be involved in this." Vader said, suddenly I realised there was reluctance in Vaders voice, he didn't want me getting near the one who hurt him, he wanted to protect me, something in me softened
"I'll be okay." I said strongly
"Amida- Padmé, for the love of the force, please act like your a nobody, I know you're not- thats why you've survived this long, but you need to act scared, like all the others. Please." Vader said, he sounded desprate, he put his hands on my shoulders and hung his head, he whispered "I'm so sorry, you don't need to see this."
"I-" I tried, but I couldn't speak, he really cared that much, he things I'm something more than the others,
"Wait, won't the emporor be able to sense my emotions?" I asked
"Not with my force signature next to you, I'm powerful enough that it should drown you out." Vader said, he looked up at me and something in me stopped when I saw his eyes "If you want I can send you some of my terror through the force, because apparently your untouchable." Vader tried to joke, I looked at him and gave him a hug, he flinched and froze
"Right, your masters the only one who touches you, sorry." I said and I let go, Vader looked at me and I saw awe in his eyes, awe that I treat him kindly, I realised I had the same awe in my eyes, for the same reason.
