(Since she has been made aware of her prior stay, Padmé decides to use her tablet to send out a message. She is pale, but strangely resolved to this new plight. Her hair is ornately braided, but her clothing is plain. She's just happy to have clothes and to be rid of that white gown!)

Greetings, everyone. Some of you might recognize me; I want to speak to you if that is the case.

(The faster she is up to speed, the better.)

For those I am encountering for the first time, hello. I'm Padmé. Some of my family is present and -

I would like very much to protect them. I'm sure you can understand the feeling.

[Codi shrugs, nonchalant. Can't win them all.]

I understand. Just know that you have my support if you ever need it - or if anyone else needs it. It would be unfortunate if you or any of your future Tethers were put in danger while just trying to survive here.

And you have mine. I don't think it will come to that. I just want to do this openly and safely.

(They have enough hidden tension in their marriage.)

[Codi's smile widens slightly - perhaps in a show of appreciation, but more accurately, a sign of victory. A pledge of support and a debt? This conversation could not have gone any better for her.]

Of course.

Is there anything else you wanted to know? You have enough on your plate as it is, naturally, but I'm happy to make myself available in case you need help with anything else.
