I hope so as well. Even though we aren't blood related, I can't help but to see all of them as my children. I love them as such. I can imagine. They are older now, correct?

Blood is certainly not the only tie that binds. I feel certain they are better off with you in their life and caring for them.

Only a few years younger than I am myself, yes.

[ aha... kaneki kind of screwed that up, but he doesn't have the courage to say so ]

That makes things a bit strange, I'm sure.

It's fairly strange, certainly, but I would take that any day rather than never have the chance to meet them.

You understand what I mean, I'm sure, as you have your own children.

Of course, I understand that feeling very well. I'm very happy to know you are happy with them, your Highness.

Really, you can call me Amidala.

[ A pause, as she considers, and then. ]

Or even Padme.

Alright. I shall call you Padme-san then.

What does the -san stand for?

It's an honorific from my language. Because it doesn't have an exact translation, it stays. In a way, I guess most would say it's the same as "Mister" and "Miss".
