Private Truth

[Aiden Porte]

Naboo
Palace Courtyard
Kalantha

It had been several days since the Festive evening that were celebrated near the mountains. Snow was falling lightly, enough to stick to the ground and there was laughter and happiness all throughout Naboo it seemed like. You could walk the streets and see children running around in the snow, throwing snowballs at each other. Others were making snowmen, sledding, it was pure magnificence.

Aiden made himself a silent promise that he wasn't every going to drink that much again. That toppled with his anxieties that evening was a recipe for disaster. Not the way he wanted anyone to see him, and definitely not the way he would ever want to treat his friends. And the Queen no less, whom he held in high regard. Granted now he wasn't sure she held him that high anymore. However he knew he had made mistakes, and he felt it was time that he finally talk to his friends about his past. What happened to him, how it affected him. And how it still affected him.

The truth was, Aiden was a complete mess.

Aiden waited patiently in the courtyard for the Queen to meet him there. For the time being, he closed his eyes relaxing his mind.

There was a lot to talk about.

Truth

Queen Kalantha walked the avenue alone - mostly. There was always a handmaiden or guard from the Security Force nearby, especially given recent events in Theed. A second Cataclysm, Gungan raids, and shadowy political moves being made all around her were more than good cause for a security detail. She hardly noticed them now, which was good for her nerves. Kalantha was meeting a friend today, and she was already anxious enough to see him.

Aiden left rather abruptly the other night from her manse on Dee’ja Peak. She hadn't spoken to him since, but she knew he'd eventually come around when he was ready. Aiden had that quality about him, waiting until he knew where he stood before engaging. Kalantha had always admired that.

When her eyes landed on him, she gave a small wave and smiled. "It's good to see you," she said. "I was worried about you. I hope that you're feeling better...?" It was just as much a sentiment as it was a question.

"It's good to see you,"

"I was worried about you. I hope that you're feeling better...?"

"Your Majesty, Inara...." Aiden said with a big smile. "Oh, um here...." Aiden said as he offered her a single white rose. "This is for you, a part to my apology for my behavior in the mountains." The Padawan said with a small nervous chuckled.

"I am doing better, feeling much better too." Aiden spoke in calm and endearing way as he welcomed her to take a seat if she wished. He took a deep breath before he started to talk, which only a few words were said.

"Have you heard of the New Way?" The Jedi Padawan inquired, he was sure that she had, however he just wanted to make sure.
