"Your house is huge."

"I get that a lot," Padmé sighed, setting her stuff down on a chair by the two enormous grand front doors.

"Don't you have any holo -- I mean -- pictures around here?" Anakin asked, leaving Padmé to look at him weird.

Finally, she answered, "No."

"Not even family."

"No family to show."

Anakin was silent for a moment as he stood there, examining the wall decorations. Then he picked up a candle from a shelf nearby, and she watched him set it back down again. It was off-center. Her eye twitched.

He touched and picked up object after object, until she couldn't take it anymore when he started touching one of her decorations that was perfectly set up and placed.

"Would you stop touching everything?!" she exploded. He jumped several feet away from where he was originally standing, holding his hands up, surrendering.

She sighed. "Goodness." She started up the grand stairs. "I'm going to bed. Don't touch anything."

"I won't," he mumbled as she walked the rest of the way up the stairs. He heard a couple of doors open and shut. "Angel," he said with a small smile.
