"May the Force be with you," Windu says, and they're dismissed.

Anakin leaves with her teacher.

"I wanna know - more about Naboo. And what's going on."

"As would I. Perhaps we should take dinner with Master Jinn and his Padawan."

"I'd like that." She glances at them.

"Would you care to join Anakin and I for dinner, Qui-Gon?"

     "Obi-Wan and I would be delighted," he replies.

"Wonderful. Allow us some time to get cleaned up from our journey, and we shall meet you at the cafeteria."

     "We will be there."

"See you guys!" she says cheerfully. Then - back to their rooms?

Yep.

"It seems we will need to stay packed up for now."

"I don't mind more travel. The galaxy's interesting. But I - really don't like the sound of someone - presenting themselves as Sith."

"Yes. But it is important we ascertain the truth of his identity, whether our suspicions are true or not."

"Yeah. He might be someone just - trying to make a political point or draw our attention or something."

"So we must hope. Still, we should be on our guard."

"Yeah. For - a lot."

She frowns. "I usually know about danger, and how to avoid or counter it, when I'm being floaty and listening to the Force, but I've never tried that with another Force user involved..."

"That should stand you in good stead, as long as you remember your saber training. Still, if it comes to that, I would prefer you run, if possible, and let Qui-Gon or myself face him."

She nods, seriously. "I might be able to notice anyone coming before an actual fight, though... And what about the Queen, or if he has people with him?"

"If we need to split up, you and Obi-Wan will stay with the Queen, and Qui-Gon and I will face the Sith. But we'll go over plans for those scenarios with them."

"Okay."

Soon enough, it's time for dinner. They go off to the cafeteria and meet up with their prospective mission partners. After loading up with food, they all sit down at a relatively out of the way table.

     "So," says Qui-Gon. "Where to begin?"

"Where'd the guy attack you?"

"A small planet called Tatooine. A backwater, off the main trade routes, not affiliated with the Federation. We needed to make repairs to the hyperdrive, and thought we'd be hidden there."

" - That's my home planet," she blurts, intensely unsettled. (She hasn't actually told anyone which planet she's from, but - )

"A curious coincidence. The Forces works in strange ways."

"Yeah." She shakes her head. "It's - definitely good for some ways of hiding. Though full of territorial assholes. Do you think he'd keep going after you?"

"Though he did not shy from a fight, I do not think I was his principal target."

"An assassin, after the Queen?" she asks. Qui-Gon nods. "Hm. If he were working with or for the Trade Federation... But that doesn't fit with our records of their behavior."

"Why are they going after Naboo, anyways?"
