-------------------------------------

Reia stepped out of the speeder, somewhat comfortable in her new, adventurer-like clothes and thick blaster belt, but still uneasy for some reason. She looked over to her friend Eljaraj.

Eljaraj got out of her speeder, her lightsaber and her pistol on her belt. She looked around, squinting her eyes as the wind blew, before spotting Reia.

Reia waved to Eljaraj, then walked up to her. "Stormy day, isn't it?" she said, shielding her eyes and laughing.

Eljaraj laughed slightly. "I'll say!" She pulled her turban over her head, then looked at the guards.

Reia sighed and shook her head, comfortable with just her hood. "Come on, our quarters are over here..." she said, motioning for Eljaraj to fallow her.

Eljaraj followed, and she soon came next to Reia.

(Ok got it)

Padme walked out in the breesy air enjoying the moment of peace with the bright sunlight and warm peaceful colors of the flowers.

Reia came to a structure similar to - from what she heard - Anakin's old family house. She shielded the keypad with her fingers as she typed in the security code her father had given her to memorize. The door opened, and they stepped in.

The place was no Coruscant legislative suite, but still, Reia liked something about it. The first room was a kitchen/dining room, large enough only for Eljaraj, Reia, and perhaps a couple of bodyguards. She walked in, choosing to go down the hall and inspect their sleeping quarters. Small and cozy enough. Presumably the guards' sleeping quarters were on the upper level. She turned back and went down the other hall to a small sitting room, where she and Eljaraj could sit and talk. She sighed and looked at Eljaraj, who had just come up beside her, and shrugged. <i>Not too bad,</i> she thought. <i>Could be a lot worse.</i>

"Its....homey." Eljaraj said, looking around. "It'll take some getting adjusted to..but otherwise, it'll be fine."

Reia laughed. "I don't know, but I like something about it..." she said, a small grin on her face. She plopped down into a comfy chair as the guards began to take their stuff into their chambers. She closed the door partially, then said, "Is it just me, or is there an ominous feeling in the air?" she asked Eljaraj seriously.

"I feel it too...it's as if we're being warned or something." Eljaraj replied.

Reia shook her head. "You, maybe. You're a Jedi. Me, it's just a feeling of uneasiness...it's not even a concept or an idea, just a feeling, you know?"
