Putting his arm around her, he nodded. "Yes. I would love that. When would you have free time? I live in a hope that the Council has no need of me for some while now. I have heard that the things would be calmer for some while now that the Council tries to decide how they should act now, and there will be some pause in the battles... at least for now." He smiled. "And I think that not even Obi-Wan would have any objection to that. He knows how dearly I think of Naboo and he knows that it is a place that I have regarded as home for some time now." Sighing, he said, "It is the place, after all, where I have spent some of the best days in my life."

Padme blushed, leaning against Anakin. "I'm sure I can get away from the Senate for a week or two. Tell them I have some urgent reason to go home. I'm sure they would understand." She smiled as she felt the breeze against her face once they were outside. "Just to be able to get away from this city. Sometimes I feel like it's constricting around me."

As they stepped to the street of the heavily crowded city, Anakin nodded, saying, "I understand why you feel that way", he said, laughing gently. "The city is crowded beyond all imagination, after all. But it's the centre of all political activities here in Republic, if we don't count the local politics that are decided in each of the planets, and we both know that the 'lines' are drawn here in the Senate. So this is the place where you need to stay, I suppose." Sighing, looking at the direction of the Jedi Academy, he said, "And this is the place where I am needed, too."
He put his arms around her, kissing her gently, saying, "And I suppose that this is where the home is. But", he said, "I suppose we could have more time of our own. And I would be absolutely delighted of a trip to Naboo."

"Then it's settled," Padme smiled, walking closely next to Anakin so she wouldn't get carried away in the crowd. "Find out if you can get away from the council, and I'll excuse myself from the Senate for a week or two, and we'll travel back to Naboo from some alone time. Just you, me and no cares in the world, if only for a brief moment." She stated, glad that they were planning a vacation of sorts.

Nodding, a cunning smile on his lips, he said, "I have actually already told Obi-Wan that I might be asking for some free time from the responsibilities of the Council", he said. "They have kept me busy enough for the past years, and I think I have deserved one." He stopped, drawing her close, his arms around her waist, kissing her tenderly, saying, "I'm really looking forward to this free time of ours." He laughed, saying, "And I think that we even deserved some free time, from our responsibilities. We have been working hard enough for the past years", he said. "We owe this to ourselves, don't you think?"

"As the saying goes, 'There's no rest for the wicked'." Padme laughed, leaning into Anakin. "A little rest and relaxation is always a welcome thing when working in politics. You just have to remember to come back to politics, as much as sometimes you may not want to." she added. "Besides, it would be nice to see my family again."

Nodding to her words, Anakin said, "And I would love to see your family - and be formally introduced to them. You know my family - or what happened to them", he said, giving a small, bitter laughter. "Nevertheless, I would love to see your family, really get to know to them. And I can imagine that you'd like that too, wouldn't you?" he asked her, smiling as he looked at her eyes.

Padme gave Anakin a tight hug at the mention of his family. "I'm sure they're very proud of you. I know I am," She smiled, kissing his cheek. "I'm sure my family will love you. Just like I love you." She replied, content in the idea that she was going to see her family again. She hoped everyone was doing alright, it had been a while since she'd sent them any news.

Laughing, Anakin held her tightly, saying, "Oh, I doubt they will love me as much as you do. But I do hope that I'm going to get along with your parents - and especially your mother." He winked his eye, as he said, "You do know what they say about mother-in-laws, don't you?" he asked, kissing her playfully. "But yes, I do wish to see them. And don't you worry", he said, "I'm sure everything has been well since you wrote to them last time. As always", he said, smiling, "you're worrying about them. But they're old enough to take care of themselves", he said, his fingers running through Padme's hair. Then he said, "Besides, I believe Obi-Wan left someone from the Jedi Order to keep an eye on them. He seems to believe that it's the Jedi Order's responsibility to keep an eye on those who have served the Order in the past."
He smiled. "And I sure do believe so myself, too." He laughed, continuing, "Well now, where should we go?" he asked.

"Anywhere is fine." Padme replied. "So pick a direction and we will follow it." She took his arm, and couldn't help but smile. Although these moments were few, she learned to enjoy them while they lasted, cause the Force only knew when they'd get another one.
"I'm glad to know that there's someone watching over them. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't need to be watched, but none the less."

Anakin grinned widely. "So, I'm the one picking the direction?" he asked. "This one seems as good as any other." As they started walking, he said, "Yes well, the Jedi Order is almost paranoic about the Sith Order, if you ask me. Everywhere they see the Sith's affection - which might be the truth, too, I won't be the one to deny the possibility." He sighed, saying, "These sure are troubled times. But still, somehow I've found something to be happy about." He grinned, saying, "That is, you."
Holding her tightly, he said, "Now, love, there is no need to hurry", he said as she seemed to be walking a bit faster, "I'd like to enjoy this as long as we can, if you don't mind me."

"These are worrisome times," Padme said, playfully poking Anakin. "And the only reason I'm speeding up is so that I can keep up with your long legs." She laughed. "I'm glad to have something to hold on to as well. You keep me grounded Ani." She smiled, holding her beloved. "I just wish we had to keep it secret."

Anakin winked at her, "Yes well, if you're going to hold me like THAT and someone from the Jedi Council happens to see us, it will be pointless to try to keep this little love of ours secret, don't you think?" he asked, laughing.

Padme laughed and playfully punched him in the arm. "If you don't want me to show signs of affection, then you'll just have to stand three steps behind the senator!" She laughed, putting herself three steps infront of him.

Taking long steps to catch up with her, Anakin threw his arm around her, kissing her cheek, saying, "Ah, I don't mind be seen with you, even if that would get me caught. Not now, not after being away from you for so long." He sighed. Then he smiled, saying, "I bet it would feel quite funny if someone of them just walked around the corner just now", he said, laughing. "If it was Obi-Wan... I bet I'd feel quite ashamed not telling him sooner."
