Chances are she wouldn't believe you if you tried. [Anakin sighs, more than a little petulant. The name wouldn't carry much weight, and it seems to be the only real logical bargaining chip here. At least until...if she ever comes around.]

His own patience notwithstanding on the matter when he has a nostalgic fondness for the gungan, Padmé is stuck with him far more often and she hasn't seemed to snap yet.] You're not going to bother her, trust me.

Just...this isn't fair. I know it isn't. But she's barely in a place to believe me, let alone anyone else.

[Does he sound slighted? He feels slighted.]
