[ Having served in politics since she was very young, Padmé Amidala is no stranger to the stress relief tactics of the army of staffers who ensure governments function on a daily basis. Her own senatorial offices are well-stocked with caf and other energy-boosting products (though not the overly sweetened varieties that are continually marketed to her employees), and more than once she's heard a chorus of early morning grumbles as everyone filed in for the day. Each and every member of her staff fulfills their duties to the high standard the positions demand, though, so she never chastises them for not taking better care of their health.

She thinks about it, though. Often. Especially as her own handmaidens take their own steps to look after her when she does a poor job of it herself.

While Obi-Wan's struggles are of the hangover variety, the senator's are that of chronic sleep deprivation. She's always been very devoted to her work, sometimes detrimentally so, and it has only gotten worse as the war persisted. During the aide's parties, she and other senators have met in secret, time and again, to strategize and forge new alliances. She's just coming from an early breakfast meeting with one such new ally, so her mood is buoyed by that success as she enters the cafe.

Seeing an old friend does wonders for her, as well. She approaches with a warm smile, her clothing choice for the day as stately as always but relatively toned down compared to what she might wear to a function or for addressing the Senate. ]


Good morning, General. I see the staffers weren't the only ones to enjoy themselves last night.

[ Yes, there is more than a hint of teasing in those words. Not cruelly so, of course, but she can't just let his apparent state slide by without comment. ]
