The answer to one of Padme's questions- or half of it, anyway- was currently headed her way in the form of a little brown haired girl. A little brown haired girl who bore a strong resemblance to how Padmé herself had looked at around six years old.
It was a bit more difficult for Leia to locate Padmé than it was with most of her relatives, due to the lack of a Force connection, even a dormant one, on Padmé's side, but the connection- however passive- was still there. And as she got closer, it was laced with a sense of urgency. Her mommy was... well, not in danger, exactly, but certainly in distress, more than just the confusion and dizziness of arrival via Orakalla could account for.
Rounding a corner, the shuttle port came into view. As did a petite woman leaning tiredly against the wall. A woman that til now, she'd known only from dreams and pictures. This woman was closer to the one in her dreams, however, if only due to her sadness. Though everything about her from her posture to how she felt in the Force spoke of several levels of exhaustion at the moment, the undercurrent of sadness that Leia had always felt from the woman in her dreams was still there.
But this wasn't a dream. This was real. And this time, Leia could do something. She approached Padmé quietly; much as she wanted to run up and hug her she knew that that might a bit much for Padmé just now. Instead, she simply looked up at her and said, "Mommy? Are you alright?"
