[EVENT | TAVIMBI] HAPOYELA'S BLESSINGS

Characters: Come one, come all!
Date: March 5th
Location: The Sabonile Temple, in Hatal
Situation: The Foreigners, as well as many prominent kedan, have been invited to the great Temple of Hapoyela in Hatal, where the Sabonile priest class wishes them to participate in a celebration!
Warnings/Rating: Character nudity in the after-feast comment. Indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

---

According to the Sabonile priests, Hapoyela wishes to properly welcome the Foreigners and the kedan to the full scope of Tavimbi's hospitality, and has instructed the clergy to organize a suitably impressive celebration for the citizens of the oldest living Great Turtle. All Foreigners, as well as many notable kedan including the Family heads, are invited to attend a grand feast and celebration at the Sabonile Temple, one of the largest buildings in all of Hatal.

The clergy has promised an evening of good food, lively entertainment, and the magnificent blessings of Hapoyela. At the same time, the Sabonile will be hosting a soup kitchen in the Temple's courtyard, feeding the hungry and the poor, as dictated by their religious tenets and beliefs.

While those who receive an invitation to the event, which the Sabonile consider a sacred charge from Hapoyela, are not required to attend... it could be seen as a disrespect to their deity.

MOD NOTE: For the naked after party section, soul gems are still allowed to be worn. If your character isn't up for stripping down, they can excuse themselves from that segment of the evening, which will have no negative repercussions with the Sabonile. In this case, they will simply do a wave-over blessing from Hapoyela around the person, and bid them a pleasant evening before they go.

She just looks at him, horrified by what he's told her. Her entire world is gone. Everything.

"What?"

She's an intelligent woman, capable of understanding so much in a short amount of time. But this...this is too much.

"What?!"

Padme's reaction was to be expected, but that didn't lessen the guilt Obi-Wan felt at her disbelief.

"Forgive me," he said softly.

Perhaps he'd said too much. Her devastation was almost more than he could bear. She deserved better than this.

"How....how could this happen?"

Shock would be kinder. She jumped up from the bench and headed back towards the area where their clothes were left.

"I can't stay here. I have to go."

He had no answer for that. Obi-Wan could only wish that he could have made things easier for her some how. But there really was no way to sugar coat any of this. As she gets up to go, Obi-Wan reaches out for her.

"Padme, wait."

His voice is gentle, knowing that perhaps he's overstepped already.

"Bail Organa adopted your daughter. Kylo Ren, he is your grandson."

When he called out to her, she stopped dead in her tracks. Even as upset as she was, she knew how much she owed her friend and couldn't ignore him when he used that soft voice.

The news was like icing on the cake. Her grandson and Bail's grandson were one in the same. Her family line continued beyond and at least one of her children was raised by someone she trusted.

"And my son, what happens to him?"
hadthehighground: (soft spoken)

"I brought him to Anakin's family on Tatooine, and will watch over him."

And he then finally smiled a little.

"I'm told he becomes a Jedi Master."
angelofnaboo: (Upset)

He gave her son to literal strangers, a man and woman she'd met for a few days on a planet she despised except for the one person she loved with a passion she couldn't ignore.

"Thank you for that information, Obi-Wan. I...I have to go now."

She ran to where her clothes were. Hopefully no one else would stop her on the way back to the hotel before she broke down.

Unfortunately there hadn't been much choice in the matter. Taking Luke to Tatooine had been Yoda's idea but they had all been short on options.

This time he let Padme go. The Jedi hanging his head as she left. He wasn't sure what was worse. Experiencing everything he had told her, or telling those he cared about what would happen to them in their futures. Like so many things, it was a burden he didn't want, but had to bear with grace.
