[Scorpia lets out a sigh.]

Oh, I wish! That- that would make this whole thing worth it. Or maybe just some of it. What do you have to roll to get something like that? [She says with a little laugh while moving right along.]

[democratically]

If there are any good rolls, I've yet to see them.

[That slightly dry expression to her voice. It tended to be bad and worse... Varying degrees anyway. Nothing like pass all the way to the finish line, or surprise, you get to have a wonderful picnic with all your favourite foods.]

[cuddlery]

Yeah. [She agrees with a deflated sigh.] Kinda feeling like good ones don't exist, but hey... A gal can dream, right? [She shrugd her shoulders, while accepting that this is the slimmest of hopes.]

[democratically]

Perhaps our hopes will be rewarded... [After all, it would be nice. There is no benefit to them for this game, aside from getting to the end of it. Why they are required to play it, she doesn't know. Does someone get some amusement from it, or is there nothing at all?] Thankfully it isn't snow or lava though...

[cuddlery]

I sure hope so! It's always really, really great when hope's rewarded. [Or if they at least end up with A New Hope.

Scorpia doesn't understand the point of this either, though at this point she's inclined to roll with all the weird events this world tends to subject her too.]

That's one thing to be glad for, for sure! Nice, nice weather going on here in general. Some kind of beach would be even better? But it could be a lot worse! If it weren't for all the dangers, this would be a pretty neat place for a trip.

[democratically]

It would be, yes... [A slightly wistful sigh. Sand, but not too much sand. Not too hot, not too cold, not too dry. Stars knew that Padmé hadn't enjoyed Tatooine overly. She will count her blessings though that it isn't worse.] But I'll take the small blessings. I've been on a planet once that was all sand and little water, and another that was completely frozen over. I can't say I was fond of either.

[cuddlery]

Oh. Yeah, those both sound nightmarish! Whole... planets like that? I did bad enough in parts of planet that were like that!

[Needless to say, the Crimson Waste and Northern Reach are easily her least favorite places to be.]

Those kinds of places wouldn't feel so bad now that I'm a Coldblood, but still! All barren and without much life... pretty depressing stuff. So, uh, yeah. Guess this environment's one thing we can feel lucky for!

[democratically]

Yes. As in the season is winter, or colder winter, or dry or more dry.

[She knows that even Anakin is not fond of his planet of birth, or sand in general. Padmé has no qualms with it on a beach, but the living on both had been hard. Each to their own extreme, and without the protection of a governmental body that actually looked out for it's citizens....]

A Warmblood, myself, which I do prefer a warmer climate, although a more temperate and more forgiving on.

[She knows how blessed she is to have been born on a planet like Naboo.]

[cuddlery]

Oh yeah, definitely... definitely not sounding pleasant there.

[The idea of seasons working like that and being stuck in such extremes is just depressing!]

So you're a Warmblood. Nice! Yeah, I don't think you have a wrong idea about the right type of climate. Something more in the middle sounds a lot nicer! [She says as they reach rockier terrain.]

[democratically]

It is interesting, anyway, although I'm not entirely certain if I would have known what to do with ice powers or the like.

[It has always been on her own merits that Padmé has done things, although she may have had help along the way.

She does pause, looking around for a stick or a rock, and finding a branch, Padmé picks it up. Rising, she pokes gingerly at the rock for a moment, as if testing whether it is as it appears.]

I can do without skiing or getting a sunburn- or sand in random places.

[cuddlery]

They - they do take some getting used to! Now I could already do some electric things back home, but the fire and ice needed a whole lot of lessons to get ahold of!

[Scorpia pauses a moment while the rock is prodded. Warily! But with no sign of danger, she's relieved and presses on.]

I've never skiied before, but those other things? Definitely better off without them! Sand sure does find is way everywhere!

[democratically]

I do hope nothing too dangerous happened...

[As Padmé can only imagine the sorts of things that may occur when learning to use such elements. Arguably, at least the ice might be able to put out the fire, or the fire allow for the melting of ice.]

There can be some fun in skiing. I won't deny that. Although half the fun is coming in for hot cocoa afterwards.

[cuddlery]

Iiii had a few accidents here and there, but no one got badly hurt!

[She definitely had to learn how to use the fire to melt the ice after accidentally freezing a friend's hand here and there...]

Ooh, that does sound nice! Let me tell you, you can't go wrong with some hot cocoa. Okay, next time I'm somewhere snowy, I- I'm gonna have to look into that!

[democratically]

That's good. Here's to practice making perfect.

[Offering a smile. No doubt such abilities may come in handy at times. She knows that Jedi abilities have now and then when she has been in trouble.]

Or sledding. Just make certain there are no big rocks in odd places, as those sleds are a bit hard to control at times.

[cuddlery]

It's been working well so far! I'd demonstrate, but... y'know. Something about this jungle's keeping my powers down.

[She shrugs, but smiles back at her.]

Ooh, I had done sledding a bit! I do, do know how easily things can go wrong there. [She chuckles.] Rest assured, whichever I do, I'll be as cautious as I can be!

[democratically]

As they would not make it easier for us.

[Not that she is entirely certain freezing or setting fire to monkeys would have been an answer anyway.]

That is all one can hope for, although from experience, it doesn't always work out that way...
