I have tried to stay optimistic - hopeful, at least - in regards to our mission. I have seen planets die and stars burn out; even relocating those on said dying planets doesn't always work out well. Not everyone is equipped to adjust to new environments even if they are similar to what they had before.

(They have to be successful in other words. They have to.)

I wish to represent multiple worlds since there are many in my galaxy that have no representation. Are there any others in our number who feel likewise? I know that space travel isn't common; we can only help the worlds that we recall.

(She wishes she had brought maps with her!)

I am also curious how many of us have military or fighting experience? I would like to know who to call on should I find myself or others in a tight situation.

(Bless his heart. Padmé admires his bravery immediately.)

You sound a bit like a Jedi. (In other words - a very good ally.) Thank you for offering your skills. I'm Padmé.

I do not know that name. Of course. I'm happy to help however I can.

They are the protectors of my galaxy. From my experience, they are very selfless.

(Which Xingchen seems to be too.)

[ He ducks his head, a little shy at being compared to people described so kindly. ]

I think you must be very kind.

I don't know about that, but I try. (Most of the time anyway.) Is there anything I can do for you, Mister Xingchen?

I think trying is all anyone can be expected to do.

[ It's all he asks of Xue Yang, after all! Just to try his best.

His smile softens at her question. And her address. But he shakes his head a little again. ]

I feel I should be asking you that.

I have to remind myself of that; it's easy to forget.

(She holds herself to high standards - sometimes too high.)

I'm not much of a fighter. I would like to learn some defensive techniques. Do you know any that would be suitable?

Defense is a good idea. If you have the time, I would be happy to meet with you and go over a few things that can help.

I would be honored to learn from you. (If her instincts are right, this is a wonderful opportunity!)
