[Padmé would say that it is a good life lesson to learn, although never an easy one. It is experience that tends to help, that and a gut instinct. She's always stayed true to what she believes in, even though it isn't always simple. She may trip and fall, but Padmé always gets back up- sometimes with a helping hand.

There is a hint of a smile that graces the corner of her lips as she watches the girl. She'll likely have a little stock-pile before the night is done, but there is something genuinely innocent about that. Then again, Padmé has never really gone without as Naboo as a planet is blessed, but she knows that there are those out there who are not as blessed as her.

It's a small blink at the turn in conversation, from saying thank you to complimenting her. The warmth spreads to her eyes as she glances back towards the meeting. The whole situation is still strange. She knows now that the Separatists have nothing to do with it, but she still doesn't fully understand everything.]

That's kind of you to say. [Before she hums a little.] It is a bit dry, isn't it? Let's hope they don't keep us here too much longer... are you here by yourself?

[Which is a rather troubling thought. She does look young, although Padmé supposes that looks could be deceiving. Had she gone through the same experience that Padmé had since she arrived here?]
