"Do you like Anakin?" Padmé asked. She sounded like the girl she'd been, huddled under blankets, asking questions about Harli Jafan all those years ago. "You're really the only one who has spent any time with him as an adult."
"I understand why you like Anakin," Sabé said. "He's a little bit intense for me. He's completely devoted to you, which I admire, but when he's angry, he scares me a little bit."
"He's very powerful in a way I could never understand," Padmé said. "His sense of justice is extreme. There was an incident with a Tusken encampment on Tatooine when we were there."

…do you ever think Padme’s girlies™ ever talked shit about Anakin behind his & padme’s backs?
Like they’re all supportive and stuff when the happy couple is nearby, but the moment they leave they’re just like “oh FORCE that guy is annoying”
Like I don’t think any of them hate Anakin, but sabé WILL mock how awkward his flirting is, y’know?

Thinking abt sabédala and anidala and rexwalker
Anakin and Padmé love each other like a forest fire, fiercely and entirely and without any survivors. It's dangerous and beautiful
Rex and Anakin love each other like a ship and a light house, guiding and saving on a reckless ocean of war. Built on unspoken and all-encompassing trust
Sabé and Padmé love each other like coming home; sheltering quietly, protecting, knowing that no matter what might happen or where they go, they will always find a place in each other's arms
Anakin and sabé have begrudgingly mutual respect and a deeper mutual distrust. They know they both love padmé and they both want what's best for her, but anakin loves selfishly and sabé loves selflessly
Padmé and rex have a genuine respect for each other. They both understand how much anakin means to them and how much they mean to him, and how much he means to everything around him

Undercover Queen [ 2021 ]
My annual Star Wars day aka May the 4th picture I made back in 2021. Seems just like yesterday I was working on this. Not the worst digital painting I’ve done not the best either lol. But I still wanted to share my favorite Queen and her badass handmaiden bodyguard!

His manners were still impeccable, like when he was a little boy, but, Sabé remembered, he was the one who programmed C-3PO in the first place. Several pieces of the puzzle that was Anakin's presence fitted together neatly in her head.
"You and Padmé," Sabé said.
Anakin bristled, like he was ready for a fight.
"It's none of your business," he said.
"I am in my nightgown, and you are in my room," Sabé said. "I think it's at least part of my business."
"She-" Anakin started. He looked down at his hand, flexing his newly tuned metal fingers inside his glove. "I love her," he said. And then, like it was a dare: "She loves me."
It made all too much sense. Why Padmé had disappeared on Naboo. Why the schedule had changed and why the staff had such a new routine. This is why Padmé's evenings were free. This was why her handmaidens slept on the floor below instead of the penthouse suite as they used to. She hadn't done it for herself, not to make a separation between her career and her personal space. She had done it for him.
"You're angry," Anakin said. "That doesn't bother me. I'd be angry, too, if she picked you over me."
"That's not how it works, Jedi," Sabé said. "Padmé's heart is infinite, and she loves many, many people. Not to mention her feelings about duty and her job. If you haven't figured that out yet, you will soon enough."
"Maybe," Anakin said. He didn't sound entirely convinced.
