The woman's voice floated in from the other room. "I didn't see him when we were landing. Why, is his missing?" She walked in and stood behind Leia facing the screen, hands on the back of her chair.
The side door slid open again as the second figure blatedly entered. It was C3PO, golden coverings spackled with sand, his joints crunching slightly with the trapped grains. His mechanical voice was muttering some complaint concerning sand and flying.

"Yep lazerbrain's lost himself again.I think I'll send Captain Solo looking for him.At least it'll get him out of my hair" Leia replied looking up at her mother's still youthful face.

Lupe bowed slightly to Padme, then rolled her violet eyes. "I told Leia I could always help search..." she said, a bit of amusement in her voice. "Especially since there isn't very much for me to do around the base right now..."

"I would do that but there is the fact that Captain Solo is on my final nerve." she said closing her laptop like thing.

Lupe smiled. "I can definitely understand that," she said. She reached up with her left hand and scratched the thick patch of black fur on the back of her neck. The thumb of her right hand was hooked in her belt. Anyone who didn't know her would probably wonder why she wore only one glove. Her companions knew it was to hide the fact that most of her right arm was robotic.

"Now you see my point." she said.

Lupe nodded in agreement with Leia. Still, she itched to do something... Lycans were not made for sitting around inside all day. She shifted from one dog-like foot to another, feeling trapped inside the base. "Isn't there something I could do, preferably outside?" she asked Leia, her tail twitching nervously.

"Um...go see if the sandstorm let up any.I have to do a scan over the area and my scanners are covered in sand.If it had let up please please please dust off the scanners." she said.

Lupe smiled gratefully. "Thank you," she said, turning and heading for the exit. Stepping outside, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply, enjoying the scent of fresh, if a bit sandy, air. Opening her eyes again, she rested her right hand lightly on one lightsaber and set off around the base, checking each sensor as she reached it. Most of them were covered in sand, so she dusted them off with her left hand. Every so often, she glanced around, her sensitive nose sniffing the air, her violet eyes half-closed against the bright Tatooine suns.

Padme smiled amusedly. "On your last nerve? Captain Solo? Sounds like someone I know." "Miss Padme," the metallic voice of the protocol droid addressed her for the umpteenth time that day. "A few someones I know," the woman corrected herself, before, "Yes, Threepio?" with honeycoated annoyance. "If there is anything you should need--" "Yes, thank you, C3PO," she interrupted him early. "-- I shall be in this room nearby," the oft-oblivious droid continued anyway. "Thank you," she said again as the droid waddled into the next room. As soon as he was gone, Padme plopped down into a chair next to Leia with a great sigh. "So, how have you been annoyed, during this time?"

Lupe soon returned, sneezing a bit. "I'm still not quite used to all this sand!" she exclaimed with an enormous sneeze. "It almost deadens my sense of smell..." She rubbed her nose vigorously with her left hand.

"Let's see between the aruging and the flirting were do you want me to start?" she asked,"Plus this is the third time this month Lukey's gone missing.And Dad has been slackning on our training lessons.The shower's heat misteriously been cut off.My scanners keep getting sand blown on them and it's deathly hot...."

Lupe shook her head, shedding quite a bit of sand from her thick black hair. "Uh, yeah, isn't this a desert planet? Those types of planets tend to be quite hot..." she comment dryly.

The woman smiled. "I must admit this planet isn't much to my tastes, either, but your father feels right at home. I'm sure you all can get caught up on lessons now that he's back. He's fixing things on the ship, now."

"Like what." she said,"I fixed the ship before you left.What could you two have possible done to it."
