That Padmé recognizes Leia's name is strangely exciting for her. The last time they met, Leia had been a familiar-faced stranger to her mother. Seeing that moment of recognition is something she always longed for: a moment when her mother truly saw her, without having to be told who she is. When she was a little girl, though she was certain Bail and Breha Organa were the only parents she needed, she'd always longed for the soft smile and kind spirit of the woman who bore her.
And now she's before her again, this time looking at her as though she can't believe what she's seeing.]
That's right. [Soft, with warm eyes filled with hope.] My name is Leia.
[I have a brother called Luke, she wants to say, but now that he's gone, she's not sure bringing him up won't cause more heartache for Padmé. And if she can do anything for her mother, she wants to save her pain.]
My mother passed away when I was very young. Her name was Padmé Amidala.
