Wolf was used to Padmé finding her after a Senate session to complain about it. Today was no different. The human came up and Wolf was happy to listen to her friend rag on Senator Por't'a O-Sol who complained long about how he worried that a craft guild in his system might be making noise about joining the Separatists. Wolf made noises to indicate she was listening as Padmé had not properly learned how to read a helmet yet. They were walking but Wolf wasn't quite sure where. She could vaguely hear Fox and Gregor behind them discussing something else.

"This has really got you in a state," Ghost said as they came to an intersection in the hall and had to pause for cross walking of other people in the Senate going across. "Usually it doesn't bother you this much."

Padmé took a breath like she was trying to master herself and then gave up. "Sometimes I just want to complain about stupid men," she said.

Wolf laughed softly. "We know all about that," Ghost said as they continued walking.

"Does Wolf ever lump you in with them?" Padmé asked innocently.

"No? Why would she? I'm not a man," Ghost said curiously.

"You're not?"

"No. I'm a Ghost," he said.

Padmé looked very confused. "Ghosts only have the genders they're assigned by people," Wolf said as explanation. "I call him he-

"But I really don't mind one way or another," Ghost shrugged with his fins.

"How curious. We gender our droids but they... are gendered," Padmé said.

"And as we've been over, I'm not a droid. I'm a Ghost," Ghost said rather cheerfully.

"Yes. Of course," Padmé said graciously. They'd arrived at some less used elevators. "I guess it's easy to get caught up in your own pre conceived notions," she said thoughtfully, hitting the button to call an elevator.

"You Republicans do tend to do that with Guardians," Ghost said and Padmé grimaced.

"So what were you saying about Zing Kay'ortha?" Wolf prompted because despite everything she did love hearing Padmé complain. It meant she didn't have to talk back which was great because she was awful at Senate politics still.

Being reminded Padmé quickly launched into a tirade about Zing as the elevator came and the four of them stepped in. Padmé pressed the button for her suite's floor and the elevator went up. Wolf kept listening politely, knowing Ghost and Fox were paying more attention than her. She followed Padmé out and was welcomed into Padmé's home in the Senate.

Fox laughed when Padmé grabbed her wig and threw it on the couch. "Uhg!"

"Why do you wear it if you don't like it?" Wolf asked.

"I do. It's just a lot today," Padmé said. "It's hard being a voice of reason when everyone is so ready to go to war." Then she paused and sighed, looking at Wolf and Fox. "Which you two are unsympathetic to."

"All we've known is war soooo," Wolf heard the sarcastic grin on Fox's voice. "Even if this is some seriously baby stuff." Fox sat on the couch, Wolf took a chair. Only now in the privacy of Padmé's home did they remove their helmets.

"You don't say," Padmé went to the wet bar and poured them all a drink. Not alcoholic. Padmé didn't drink like that unless at a function, which Wolf could appreciate.

"Well we were invaded by four species at once. So yes. Having a slap fight over trade agreements seems... trivial," Fox said. Then she perked up when Amelia came over and spoke into her ear. "What?"

"What?" Ghost asked.

"Wait," Fox looked at her tablet quickly. "Fuck- fuck," she jumped to her feet. "So sorry I need to run. I forgot I had a meeting with the aide of the CEO of-- uh," she looked at Amelia.

"Of the Limited Perfecta," Amelia said.

"Right! Them," Fox said.

"Who?" Wolf asked.

"They want to open up talks with the Empress. Shit I totally forgot. I need to go," she crammed her helmet back on. "See you home," and she signed to Wolf 'don't talk too much' which made her chuckle. Then she quickly saw herself out.

"Oh-- she really ran off," Padmé said, turning around with the refreshments.

"What's the Limited Perfecta?" Ghost asked her.

"It's a conglomerate that runs sports arenas," Padmé said putting Wolf's drink down. "Both legal and... not so legal," she added.

"Why would they want to talk to Empress Caiatl?" Ghost asked, shell clicking back and forth in confusion.

"Proving," was all Wolf said. Padmé sat where Fox had been sitting.

"... Why does this system always take our sacred rites as games?"

"I dunno. Ask Saladin," Wolf said mildly and grabbed her drink.

"That's not what the Iron Banner is," Ghost huffed.

"Sure," Wolf took a sip of the drink, it was some mild but very aromatic fruit juice of some sort.

"I'm sorry for my behavior," Padmé said while Wolf was drinking. All she could do was make a confused noise. "It appears my emotions are getting the better of me today. It's just that time."

"It's fine," Wolf said. "And what time? Should I go?" Wolf didn't get the phrase and that was besides the fact she'd learned Basic about four months before having to come to the Senate so sometimes idioms were lost on her.

"Only if that makes you uncomfortable," Padmé said. Wolf just kept looking confused. "It's that time of the month," Padmé said as explanation.

Wolf had no idea what she was talking about. "Oh," she said but Padmé didn't sound thrilled about it. "I'm sorry? Are you sure?" Shit was Padmé dying or something?

"Yes I left my medication at the bar this morning before our session. Didn't really register until now," Padmé huffed and leaned back on the couch, moody.

Wolf just sipped her drink and desperately looked at Ghost for help. He looked at confused as she was. "What's the medication for?" she asked and hoped she didn't come across as ignorant.

Padmé gave her a look. "You know," she said. "Right? Surely they have birth control in Sol."

"Yes," Ghost said because Wolf had no idea and she hoped very much it didn't show on her face. When Padmé said it she realized what it was but she had no idea what it would do. She was effectively an undead being. She breathed and acted like a normal living thing but some things just didn't work. Like bleeding, or having a steady pulse, and she was pretty sure if you scanned her brain it'd show as dead even if she was perfectly alive. She'd been a rotting corpse and skeletal remains for centuries before Ghost had found her.

"I don't take any," Wolf said hoping that would solve that mystery.

Padmé blinked at her. "You don't? Does Shin know that? Does he?"

Wolf was thrown by the question. "No, he does, and... no?" Shit was that the right answer? She was just answering truthfully she didn't know if she even needed to lie about this kinda stuff.

"How long have you been together again?"

"Uhh-" she looked at Ghost.

"I believe by Sol years it will be eleven years in a few months," Ghost said.

"I can never keep track. Shin cares about anniversaries and stuff," Wolf said almost apologetically.

"Really? You're both so young. That's so sweet," and Wolf felt like she was losing even more control over this situation. "I didn't know you two were trying for a family." Wolf's eyes widened. Oh dear. That was not what she was expecting this conversation to go.

"What- no that's not-

"You don't have to be coy with me," Padmé said with a grin. "That's wonderful. I'm happy for you." Wolf didn't even know what to say because Padmé looked genuinely excited on her behalf. "Have you planned anything out yet? Do your friends know?" Padmé gasped, "Am I the first one?" she seemed giddy at the thought.

Wolf looked at Ghost desperately. She had no idea what to say or do. Internally she was just screaming.

Thankfully Ghost was better at talking than her. "Padmé I just want to remind you Wolf's a very private woman. You're making her uncomfortable," he said gently.

"Oh! Oh I'm so sorry," Padmé said empathetically. "I got totally ahead of myself I look like such an idiot. We don't have to talk about it. I can only imagine how stressful it is trying to start a family while also being a Senator to such an important and dynamic system like Sol." Yeah. Right. Absolutely. And not, you know, that that wasn't what they were doing at all! "Forget I said anything," she waved her hand as if to dispel the air around them.

"Fox didn't tell us about her meeting with Limited Perfecta. I'd love to hear more," Ghost said and Wolf was so grateful he changed the subject. And if it was one thing Padmé was wonderful at it was explaining to the both of them some intricate political or economic dynamic happening in the Republic. Wolf didn't say a fucking word and just quietly drank her drink while Padmé talked to Ghost.

----

Shin found his girlfriend face down on the couch, no helmet, no suit. He paused in drying his hair with a towel looking at her. "Uh... are you okay?" he asked. Wolf made a loud groaning sound into the pillows like she was in pain but otherwise didn't move.

"We just go back from visiting Padme," Ghost said.

"Oh. Isn't she your friend? You usually like hanging out with her," Shin said slowly. Wolf spoke into the pillows. "I can't understand you when you're telling the cushions, darlin'," Shin said.

Wolf sat up and looked at him, "Padme thinks we're trying to have a baby," she said, deadpan.

Shin stood there in just a towel, an extra one over his shoulder. "How'd she get that impression?"

"Apparently human ladies have like... cycles? And Padme takes stuff so she doesn't get pregnant and she asked me if I did; which I don't because why would I?" Wolf asked him like she was crazy. "And then she asked if you did and I said no. And then she just assumed we're trying to have a baby!"

"Does she know we're undead?" Shin asked her, cocking his head. "And even if by some twist of the Light you were capable I shoot blanks."

"We agreed we weren't going to tell these people we're chosen dead," Wolf said.

"Riiiight."

"I think she's going to start planning a baby shower or something for me. We got off the topic but she came back around to it," Wolf said miserably.

"And you didn't tell her no?"

"I got flustered okay!"

Shin chuckled. "Yeah. I know, darlin'," he smirked.

"Uggh," Wolf covered her face with both hands. "She was just acting so snippy today about other Senators and apparently it has to do with that kinda stuff. That's why it even got brought up."

The door opened. "Why did I just get a message from Padme's aide about what traditions in Sol are like for new families?" Fox asked once the door was closed.

Wolf groaned and flopped back into the couch face first. "Padme thinks Wolf and I are trying to get pregnant," Shin said.

"That is categorically an impossibility not to mention physically impossible," Fox said, still not understanding.

"Yeah. We know," Shin said.

"How did she get that idea?"

"Wolf was too nice to tell her she was wrong," Shin said mildly, maybe enjoying how miserable it was making his girlfriend a bit too much. It was pretty funny.

"So what should I tell her?" Fox said.

"Nothing! Because we're not," Wolf cried.

"She seems the type to suggest alternative methods if... normal methodology doesn't work," Fox said.

"Traveler, it's almost as bad as talking about my sex life with Cat," Wolf said miserably to no one.

"I'll talk to her," Shin said.

"No you will not," Wolf said pointedly, sitting back up to look at him.

Shin rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to be a dick about it. These Lightless Republicans need to be coddled and let down gently about stuff when they have no idea what they're talking about. Also you didn't tell her no and she won't believe Fox," he motioned to the Warlock. "She'll believe me if I tell her what."

There was a pause, "Fine," Wolf groaned.

"So... what should I tell the aide?" Fox asked.

"Nothing. I'll talk to Padme tomorrow," Shin said.

"Great. Crisis adverted. I'd hate to think if this got around and suddenly the entire Senate was trying to get on your good side sending you baby presents."

"I'd literally rather die," Wolf said miserably.

----

Shin didn't like dealing with Senators. Not if he couldn't help it. He was here strictly to support Wolf and be a gun if things got hairy. Padme was... fine. One of the least annoying politicians he'd known honestly. He had Fox make him an appointment properly and made sure she squeezed in time for him even though he knew Padme was busy.

Gregor opened the door for him when he arrived and let him into Padme's office, a copy of Wolf's just with a slightly different view and more plants. He was surprised by the plants honestly. Some of them reminded him of the crazy shit they grew in Neomuna. Padme smiled when she saw him, even in his cloak and helmet. He was polite and removed it when he sat at the chair opposite her desk.

"Didn't think you moved around without your better half," Padme said, smiling brightly at him like she knew something exciting.

"I go where needed," Shin said. "This is, unfortunately, not a social visit."

"Oh? Is something wrong?" Padme asked.

Shin breathed in deeply like he was readying himself for something. "Wolf told me about the conversation you had yesterday," he said. Padme nodded. "She wouldn't admit it but you made her upset."

"What? Why? That wasn't my intention at all," Padme said quickly.

"She knows that so she's not mad at you. She just was uncomfortable about your talk," Shin said gravely. He could see the question in her eyes. "Wolf isn't fertile," he said simply. It wasn't a lie but it wasn't exactly true either. "She doesn't like talking about it," he said as Padme covered her mouth with her hand. Which was a lie. Wolf didn't care but also... Wolf didn't care.

"Oh... oh I'm so sorry. I had no idea," she said.

"She knows that. But that's why I'm here. She didn't want to make you upset when you got an idea into your head. It's just... an impossibility," he said with great care. "Yesterday after your talk she was face down on the couch," not a lie but Shin omitted she was miserable not upset.

"I didn't know. She didn't tell me," Padme said.

"I know. It's not a thing we talk about. So just don't bring it up again?"

"Of course," Padme nodded. "I feel so bad now. I didn't mean to bring up something so upsetting." There was a pause, "I'm sure you've looked into it in Sol but here in the Republic-

"Padme," Shin said sharply. "Just let it go," realizing she was going to try and convince him some tech they had could help. Not that there was anything to help. Shin knew Wolf didn't even like kids all that much.

"Right. Sorry," she grimaced.

"Good. Thank you. That's all I wanted to talk about really," Shin got up and put his helmet back on. "Have a nice day, Padme. And don't beat yourself up about it too much, she's not mad."

"Thank you," Padme said but still looked upset at herself for being so insensitive.

Shin left her office, pinging Wolf as he did. "Yeah?" she asked, up beat.

"You in meetings?"

"For a little while, yeah. Why?"

"Just got done talking to Padme."

"And?"

"You might get some apology flowers-

"Aww. That's sweet," Wolf said. "But completely unnecessary," she added.

"But she did look like she'd rather die than bring it up again."

"Oh thank the Traveler," Wolf sighed as Shin got into an elevator to go down to Wolf's office level.

"Wanna play hookie and go to the range to shoot their little laser guns?" Shin asked with a grin, leaning against the inside of the elevator.

Wolf groaned, "Yes but I can't," she complained. "After. You coming here?"

"Yes."

"Great, you can scowl at this Corporate stooge Ghost and Fox are talking to. Something something pharmaceuticals," she said in disinterest.

Shin chuckled. "Sure thing, darlin'," he said as the elevator door opened and he walked out.
