Diplomatic Mission One: Filter-topia : Video / Action

[VIDEO]

[Filtered AWAY FROM Jaina and Han]

I'm looking for some rather strange advice. If someone's daughter they never knew they had showed up as an adult. How would you advise her to handle the situation.

And before you ask, yes I'm asking for myself.

[Filtered TO Han]

We need to talk

[Filtered TO Padme and Anakin]

All things considered I think it might be best to meet now before things get even stranger. The gardens seem as good a place as any, I will be there if you wish to talk.

[Action

[And true to her words. You can find Leia sitting in the gardens, waiting to see if her parents show up, and more importantly trying to practice calming techniques because yup this is going to be stressful. Feel free to talk to her until they show up.]

[This is what you do when grandchildren come into the picture, right? Pass along the wisdom you gained in raising your own children?]

It's probably best to start just by... getting to know her.

[Trying not to facepalm.]

....I suppose that would be for the best.

Is this how you felt when I showed up?

At least I expected you to exist. But it was a shock to see you suddenly grown.

I can't believe I have a daughter.

[He can't believe you married Solo. But this is hardly the time.]

It's a rather sudden revelation.

[Wait.]

Have you talked to her then?

We ran into each other after the jump.

And I'm guessing she told you her name?

[Not how she wanted him to find out about Han. But at least she wasn't hiding marriage from him.]

It was... surprising.

[He was going to wait until you'd had time to adjust before bringing this up...]

Why, what's wrong? Are you alright?

I'm fine Han. But it's about one of the new arrivals.

Have you met Jaina yet?

You're really cute when you think I bother learning names of these morons.

You'll want to learn this one's.

She's our daughter.

... Seriously? Are you're going to believe her? Com'on, Leia.

Han.

You're going to have to trust me. I can tell she is.

[With her weird force connection.]

Say I believe you, say that Luke finds you in time in Cloud City and you fly away; you sure that she's mine?

[he is pretty sure he's going to die at the hands of Darth Vader.]

[Boy oh boy, that's a familiar question.]

I'll tell you exactly what I told your father.

I would advise you to treat them as you would think to treat your children. Try and spend time with them, consider it an opportunity to get to know them. Give them a hug, show them that you care, however you think you'd deal with a child. It's difficult enough being taken from home, but imagine what it's like for them.

I can imagine.

I have no idea what sort of mother I would have been though. I'm not even sure I want children.

Given my family I'm not even sure I should have children.

And yet something must have changed my mind.

What do your instincts tell you about Jaina?

[A family like yours? Nomi can't really say, because hell...given what she knows about your family, and then what she knows about your time? Jedi are needed. But Skywalkers?]

[ Hoboy, they haven't spoken yet, and she's young. This is going to be awkward no matter what she does. It takes her a few, before she finally pipes up. ]

I'd say you might want to just take some time to figure out who they are. Depending on how old they are,they might not even really need you to mother them.

[So very young.]

She probably doesn't.

How would you suggest trying to get to know someone who believes you should know them?

[It's not actually snark, it's just helpless confusion.]

There are two options, I suppose.

Keep being ignorant, or figure out why.

I have a feeling a lot of people around here seem to get into that kind of mess often enough here.
