How kind.

When they get to the throne room, a bit of spontaneous applause breaks out for Anakin.

Obi-Wan is off to one side, clearly troubled. Elesse goes over to speak to him quietly for a moment, after which he leaves. She takes up his guard station.

Being applauded is weird. She thinks she likes it. She should do heroic things more, maybe.

She grins and ducks her head a bit and trails after Elesse.

They passively observe as Queen Amidala sorts through the business of putting her government back together. This process is greatly simplified by the Federation having relied almost entirely on droids that were taken offline when the command ship was destroyed. The living leaders have all been captured, and there are no messy pockets of lingering resistance to clean up.

At the end of the day, when the hall has mostly cleared out, the Queen calls the Jedi over. "I am sorry about Master Jinn. Though I knew him only briefly, he seemed a good man."

"He was. Thank you, your Highness."

     "Were it not for his efforts, as well as your own, I would not be here. If there is anything I can do, anything you need-"

"I have already contacted the Council with news of his death. It was his wish that his funeral be held on the planet where he died. Representatives of the Council will here in a few days to attend that."

     "Of course. We- can work out the details later. Thank you once again for your service, Master Vendar. And you, Anakin."

"You're welcome. I liked helping."

She smiles. "My people, and I, are in your debt. If you ever need our aid, do not hesitate to call on us."

"Thanks."

And with that, they're dismissed. They can spend the next few days in relative peace. Elesse makes sure Obi-Wan remembers to eat and sleep and so forth.

Anakin keeps an eye on Elesse in turn. She spends some time exploring Naboo, or reading, or practicing, or just chatting with people. She doesn't seem really bothered by Qui-Gon being dead, but she didn't actually know him that well and Elesse's okay, so.

Mace Windu, Yoda, and a few other Jedi show up for the funeral. It's held at dusk, in an open pavilion. Qui-Gon's body is laid out on a pyre in the center, with everyone gathered around. It's not terribly formalized. The Jedi take it in turns to share a memory of the fallen Master. Obi-Wan doesn't say anything, but uses the torch to light the fire after a moment of silence.

Anakin stays practically glued to Elesse's side.

She doesn't think she's too fond of funerals.

Very few people are.

They return to the Temple the next day with the others.

And Anakin goes back to her old routine for a time.
