"I know when it happens. And it's linked to why we're here- the storms," Cal explains once Padmé confirms she's aware of their reasons for being here. "They really are lethal for the Agrii- the ones who lived here in this city. But I don't think the effects are natural. The storms themselves might be a cover for what actually affects the Agrii...and what ends up cutting off people with abilities from their powers, or me from the Force." There were others here, after all, whom while they weren't Force sensitives, had superhuman abilities that he'd never seen or heard of before.

It sounds like Padmé and Anakin had been married for a good portion of the war. That it had been a secret was hardly surprising, considering the Order's views. Cal's brows lift at mention of Obi-Wan, but he otherwise doesn't look too shocked. He does look mildly troubled, the expression a flicker as he meets the young woman's gaze. "That must have been difficult..." he says as he thinks about it. Keeping your relationship a secret, and in the midst of conflict. He'd heard that Padmé Amidala was a strong woman and speaking to her now he has no reason to doubt it.
