Summary
WE ARE HIRING
Join Our TeamWe are looking for young, talented individuals between the ages of twelve and fifteen for a junior posting within the Capitol. Further details to be disclosed upon acceptance of potential offer.
For those interested, please inquire with Captain Quarsh Panaka of the Naboo Royal Security Forces.
It was vague, to the point of incredulity.
Were all job postings this ambiguous? And what did they mean by talented? Naboo was a relatively peaceful planet that valued pacifism over martial skill. So what the Naboo considered talent was probably quite different from the Temple’s definition of the word.
Obi-Wan, as an aged-out initiate, was considered average in everything aside from his ability in prognostication. Which the Temple hadn’t actually seen as a worthwhile skill to cultivate.
He took a vacant bite, eyes skimming over the words in thought.
Or, what if Obi-Wan, a recently aged-out initiate, stumbled upon a job posting for a position with the Naboo Royal Security Forces and ended up becoming a handmaiden to a recently elected Queen Amidala?

Summary
“Thank you, ser padawan,” she said. The Queen’s voice adding an odd note of formality to the kind gesture.
The boy ducked his head, and Sabé could hear Eirtae’s wince. At this rate, he’d be lucky to make it to knighthood without back problems.
“N-not a padawan,” he murmured.
Sabé couldn’t hide the flicker of confusion, though fortunately the boy still hadn’t looked up from his intense scrutiny of the floor.
“Oh,” she replied. “I was under the impression that was the title typically given to a Jedi apprentice.” She chanced a look back at Rabé, who offered a nearly imperceptible shrug in response. Naboo might have been a bit isolationist in relation to the wider Republic, but even they knew what a Jedi padawan was.
As though confirming her thoughts, the pada—, the boy nodded. He still hadn’t glanced up, and she honestly wondered if something was on the floor to have capitvated his attention for so long. A quick look confirmed that no, it really was just a floor. A bit scuffed, but otherwise clean. No secrets of the galaxy tucked away between its durasteel plates.
“That’s correct, Y-your Highness,” he stammered. “But I-I’m not Master J-Jinn’s apprentice.”
