Thread: Star Wars: The Eclipse before the Dawn (Corsair and Xana)

Oh all this talk of war is unpleasant, Ulorbuli complained, sipping at her wine, I know this is all politics, but surely we can find a more agreeable topic. Vynne, dear, do you two have any children? Kaydia laughed, dragging her fork through her food wistfully, Not yet, but we are hoping to, soon. She reached for Quentins hand, taking the opportunity to scan the dining room. She met a couple pairs of eyes as she glanced about, but nothing felt sinister. Sensing her companions expectations, she turned the question back at her. Do you have children? Clearly looking for the opportunity to brag, Ulor beamed. Middle age did little to mask her good looks, and she had a lovely lithe figure, shown off in her form fitting dress, Two daughters. The youngest, Seralaa is in school, training in business, like her father. Our oldest, Kaala takes after me, a dancer. She is actually the current Prima Ballerina for the Estiche company, in their run of Under the Green Sun . She pulled out her personal datapad and showed off several holograms of the young woman, clad in a number of fantastic outfits, and even a short clip of her signature dance. She looks just like you. You two must be so proud, and Ive heard good things about that show, Kaydia congratulated, finishing off her glass of wine. Oh, you have to see it! And not just because my daughters in it, even if she really is the best part, Ulor gushed, get me your contact informant before the night is over, and Ill get you a pair of tickets. At that point all attention was turned to the stage, where Senator Corralis had come up to give a speech. Taking the donors for their generosity and confidence in his vision. Outlining his platform as a friend to business and his opposition to ongoing war with the Separatists. Once his speech was over and dinner was finished, a servant droid approached them. Senator Corralis invites you both to the private study on the third floor. I am to escort you there, and the senator will meet with you shortly. Following the droid through the security protocols was far easier than it would have been to bypass on their skils alone, but from she could tell, it would have been quite doable. After all, they had broken into the central bank on Telerath. Who else in the galaxy could hope to keep them out? There were three other couples up there, as well as a handful of single men. Wealthy elites, the lot of them, ranging from around their age to far older. There was a small amount of cheers and whistles as she entered with Quentin, and a palpable sense of lust permeating the study. She blushed a little from the attention, keeping her arm looped into Quentins. Vynne, settle something for us. Is the video real or fake? You think Id fake something like that? She asked, appalled. After a moment of observing the shocked looks on their faces, she laughed, I am quite talented, as it turns out. Playing off the holovid as a purposeful work of fiction was their best shot. High end porn actress was a mask with considerable benefits, right now. Well, surely some parts of it were real, yes? There wasnt much editing, if that is what you mean, but everything was scripted to be spontaneous. Westin, Corralis called, as he joined the gathering, I do believe you want to speak to me alone? Join me in the library, and we can discuss your concerns.
