"I wish I didn't have to go to my sixth gala of the day." Padmé said in the middle of a yawn while brushing her hair.
"You don't have to go, y'know? I can go in your place if you want."
"I think it'd be more pleasant if you went with me."
For a second, Sabé didn't know what to say. Maybe she was still absorbing what the Queen of Naboo just told her, or she was simply intimidated by the sharp eyes of Padmé waiting anxiously for a "yes".
"Padmé..."
"Yes?"
"I don't think I should... People will ask about who's the stranger by your side. What if they find out I'm your decoy?"
"You're not only my decoy, Sabé. You're my friend. My best friend. Please, come with me!"
"Okay, but we can't take too long. At least I can't."
"Start getting ready, then!"
Sabé got up from the bed where she was sitting and walked towards the door heading for her bedroom, but she didn't fail to notice how happy Padmé was just for the decoy going with her Queen for some gala. Sabé was also happy after all.
