[It's her wording, and her comment about the castle from before that gives Leia a better picture of just how Allura might fit in to the galaxy she's from.]
Altea clearly isn't a country from Earth, then, is it?

[There's a tiny chuckle there but... for some reason there's a little less light to it than there should be even then.] Definitely not. It was its own planet, and in a solar system VERY far from Earth's even on a universal scale.
[She catches that "was," but she doesn't comment on it. Not yet, because she doesn't quite know why that past tense is there, and she doesn't know if it's appropriate to comment on it.]
There's not even a planet named Earth anywhere in the galaxy I'm from. What's Altea like?

[There's definitely noticeable melancholy over the link now, an ache that might feel familiar to Leia.]
Beautiful, technologically advanced... naturally dangerous, but it taught us we could overcome anything with creativity and teamwork. It meant we got along well with other planets as well. As I said, my father built the Lions of Voltron in order to protect and defend others, and to keep peace between worlds.

[It's an ache that does feel familiar, familiar enough that she's not sure whether it's from her or from the connection.]
My own planet, Alderaan, is similar in that regard. We've been an important figure in the Galactic Senate since its inception, and advocate for the needs of other, less prominent planets in the galaxy.

That does sound similar. My father had ideas for a similar alliance once Voltron was made.
Your galaxy doesn't already have one?
[From Leia's perspective, the Senate--or what the Senate used to be before the Empire--had been around long enough to consider it having been around forever. She knew better than to say forever, but. Certainly as long as they've had space travel, they've had the Senate.]

Ah... not anymore. Right now most of our universe has been under the control of the Galra Empire for the last ten thousand years. One the paladins and I have been working to dismantle.
[Yup, an empire on a UNIVERSAL scale.]

Hunk mentioned something about that when we spoke before.
[Not in much detail, but the Galra Empire is something she's heard of before. And it's because of that that Leia feels it's safe, in a way, to talk more about her galaxy, in a way she hasn't with many others.]
It sounds more and more like our galaxies have a lot more in common than just space travel.

[There had been a bit of an incident among some of those that had come from their galaxy. Something that Obi-Wan has been thinking on for a few days now. Something he decided he wanted to discuss with Leia. But in light of her recent wedding, he decided to wait.
But one day when he thought she might be less busy, or so he hoped, she would feel a certain presence reaching out to her through the amulets.]
Hello Leia.
I hope I'm not disturbing you. But I was wondering if you would be able to tell me a bit about Poe Dameron. You have a connection with him don't you?

[She can't quite mask her confusion at Obi-Wan's question, because Leia has no idea why this is something Obi-Wan is asking her now. She hasn't spoken with or heard much about Poe--aside from his occasional amulet broadcasts, which were ignored on her end--since she found out he was the one to tell Anakin. And as much as she likes keeping tabs on people from their galaxy, to know what's going on, with Poe, she's been happier not checking on him.
It was sad, in a way, because she had thought Poe to be a good friend before this. He was reliable, he was comfortable to be around, and he was someone she would've thought she could work well with. But his leaking secrets made Leia doubt everything she thought she knew about him, about their working relationship in the future, and about whether he actually cared about her in any way.
When she responds, her tone is restrained, a measured sort of calm that's very much reflective of how she was raised to present a neutral face to others even when it's hard, rather than of the more freely open version of her that Obi-Wan has been getting to know since they made up.]
According to him and the others from Ben's time, Poe Dameron is a member of the Resistance. He reports directly to me, or so I've heard.

[Obi-Wan himself actually had liked Poe as well. They had a good conversation about a year ago during that flower festival. But lately things have changed a bit. It was disappointing to be sure.]
I see.
Forgive me, I would ask Ben but we are not on the best of terms currently. Plus speaking about him to Rey would only upset her further.

An incident.
[Well. She's not sure what she expected, but she's not sure it was that.]
Do you mind elaborating?

[Obi-Wan hesitates for a moment, but decides to go ahead.]
I don't know how well you knew Finn, but he departed Verens sometime last month.
Poe took it upon himself to give Ben the lightsaber he left behind without consulting anyone else.

Yes, I'm aware. Finn was a good friend, to both me and Han.
[And there's a twinge of sadness at that, that Leia can't hold back. She genuinely did like Finn. He'd been nothing but kind and helpful to the both of them.
But once that's out, Leia pauses, running Obi-Wan's words over in her mind a few times before responding]
He did what?

He did what?
[That was... pretty much the first thing Obi-Wan said when he found out as well.]
Rey asked Poe about it just before your wedding and refused to tell her where it was.
Needless to say my house was in a bit of an uproar as a result. It wasn't until I confronted him about it that he finally confessed.

I doubt it will be a comfort to you, but taking action without consulting others and with little regard for the consequences seems to be the norm for Poe Dameron.
[She should be more... diplomatic about this all, but she can't help letting some of that hurt leak through in her words, and in the emotions accompanying them. Because she did genuinely like Poe, he was a good friend. But he had broken her trust in a way that still hurt to think of, and she couldn't understand why he did it in the first place.]

[Again there was a pause as Obi-Wan's slightly feverish mind processed that. Yes he's sick. Laying in bed while talking to Leia. But then something clicks.]
He was the one who told Anakin, wasn't he.
He was the one who told Anakin, wasn't he.
He was.
[There's a slight hesitation before she responds, because even with how Poe had treated her and broken her trust and disregarded her feelings, part of her does still want to... well, not quite protect him, but distance herself and her feelings from him. But Obi-Wan had guessed it, and even if she hadn't said anything, she's sure he would've taken that as confirmation.]
And he seemed genuinely shocked to hear Anakin behaved as he did.
[which is just proof of him not understanding the consequences of his actions, because Leia could've told anyone Anakin would've behaved exactly as he did.]

[It was something he had suspected after his conversation with Poe at the lake awhile back. But now Leia had confirmed it. There is a tired sigh on Obi-Wan's end]
His behavior concerns me.
And as far as Ben I paid him a visit as well. Though he already knew I was coming. He refused to turn over the lightsaber.

[It concerns her, too, but she feels that goes without saying. Instead, she focuses on the last part of what Obi-Wan said. She knows Ben often knows when she's coming so that doesn't surprise her.]
I don't see why he needs this particular lightsaber. He has his own already.
[Well. She means his new one, the one built with his crystal, but she doesn't specify beyond that.]

If you're referring to the one he built, yes. Though technically he shouldn't have any at all.
[Obi-Wan knew about that lightsaber and he was already breaching protocol by not informing the other Enforcers about it.]
He believes it's his heritage, or so he has said.

I'm aware of that.
[But she didn't think it was worth notifying anyone about him building it, because she knows the value of having something to defend yourself with. And plus, if he had been able to build one on his own once, he'd be able to do it again just as easily, she's sure.
It's that last part that has Leia frowning, a chill coming through the connection as she does so. She knows Ben's thoughts on Vader, and she hates them and doesn't agree with them in the least.]
He's mistaken. His heritage has nothing to do with that.

[Obi-Wan feels the same way, and that's why he has said nothing about the saber Kylo built. However, now he has two and that was going too far. Regardless of whether he would use it or not. It put Obi-Wan in a difficult position in many ways.]
I know.
Regardless, it is important to him. Though it's not his to have. But I won't take it from him by force.

I don't like him having it.
[More so because of the connection to Vader--the obvious main reason he wants it--than the fact that it's a lightsaber. He doesn't need a second lightsaber, but if it had been any other saber, Leia wouldn't have minded. But this particular one? She minds.]
Are you going to report it to the other enforcers?
[She has mixed feelings on it if so. She doesn't want him to have that saber, but she's of the opinion that Ben's been behaving decently enough that she doesn't want to be even tangentially responsible for him getting more guards placed around him again.]
