The last time Ilana spent personal time with anyone, it had been a brief moment with the ISC president over a drink and some sports. But an old friend came along her radar, one with a curious scientific mind, a beautiful face, and enough ambition to fill several ledgers. It had been ages since she'd gone clubbing; Silvi merely rolled her eyes when she asked her daughter if that was what her generation called it these days. Like she would know! When she was her age, she was merely shunted off to balls and masquerades and left alone. But whatever.

It would be a discreet night of drinks, dancing, and letting loose. Brentaal was just the start of her empire; she had been laying silent, but soon, more of MC's inventions would come to life. But there was time enough for that.

Standing alone, the Arkanian offshoot was dressed in a long black wig, green eye contacts, and a slinky black number that hugged to curves. The signature cybernetic limb she wore was much plainer than her other models, but no less elegant; crystals were embedded in the surface, charged every now and then to flash colors at the press of a button. For now, she was just some bored socialite, looking for drinks and a dancing partner. She waited for Korre, leaning against the bar with a bottle of wine and two glasses as the Holonet displays spoke about war, about assault and the Sith.

MorataCorp would come to their aid once the inevitable fallout would happen; perhaps she could offer Paqualis III as a site of refuge, or many of the medical space facilities MC had acquired, partially in thanks to the Senate's gracious consent of the GHO.

It was really wonderful what a bit of temporary hair dye and letting her hair loose could do. The Belascan was known across the galaxy, but the public knew the face of a freckled-ginger with a neat bun; hopefully, they would overlook the brunette Korre was attempting to be.

In addition to the brown locks of hair, Korre had popped in brown-colored eye contacts as well. She couldn't quite decide if it was overkill, but it was better to be on the safe side with things of this sort. Nothing would ruin the outing quicker than having curious strangers start shoving cameras and questions in her and Ilana's faces. And the tabloids. They would have a heyday with the two if they could.

"Hello, stranger." Korre found the doctor quite quickly and slid beside her with the warm smile she always had painted on. The Belascan wore a dress as well, though hers was a jewel-toned green and the silk material sat loosely atop her skin. She'd always been a fan of green, and it suited her even as a brunette. "Long time, no see. How've you been?"

OOC: Going to assume this is set prior to the FWA Senate/Kashyyyk stuff if that's okay.

Korre was always a delight, but tonight she was radiant.

The Doctor tilted her head as the other woman slid beside her, and offered her a lazy grin. Sliding an arm around the woman's waist, she gave her a friendly peck, as one would an old friend, and chuckled, using her other hand to lift her glass. "Hello lovely, good to see you again." Green certainly suited the Prime Minister; lifting the bottle, she tilted her head. "Wine, or something stronger?"

Waiting for the other woman's order, she released Korre and leaned into the bar, uttering a long, slow sigh.

"Exhausting."

The single word was uttered plainly, but then the hint of a devilish smirk tilted her lips, glinting in green-tinted eyes. "But I've been finding new breakthroughs for our favorite market; how about you, lovely, has the galaxy been kind to you?" Lights began to shift behind them, the music beginning to warm up through speakers. Soon enough, there would be time for dancing, but she didn't mind chatting with Korre. She was fun, intelligent, intriguing and direct, refreshing from all those in the galaxy who loved to kiss ass.

For the Prime Minister, this CEO had all the time in the galaxy tonight.

"Wine sounds wonderful for now," answered Korre with a smile as Ilana released her from her hold. She leaned an elbow on the bar and placed her cheek in her hand as the doctor answered her question. Her mouth twisted to the side when the woman began with "exhausting," but her smile returned when hers did.

How was the galaxy treating her? "The galaxy has been... unkind." Korre laughed as she said this, but it would probably be clear to the Arkanian that there were the undertones of stress in her laugh. "People are always difficult. Flowery words are worth more than action." Her face didn't fall though; it would seem the Belascan had no intention of bogging down their night with talk of politics or intergalactic affairs. "But, sneaking out to bars to meet with good friends?"

The brunette lifted her wine glass to toast to said good friend. "It makes it worthwhile."

Korre still found the memory of their first meeting amusing. She couldn't even quite remember what she'd been there for, only that she'd zeroed in on the woman in a flurry of excitement, almost fangirl-like emotions. Truth be told, she was a bit jealous of Ilana. She desperately missed the bleak walls of a lab.

At Korre's words, one darkened brow quirked up, and she propped up her chin with a fist, pouring the Belascan a bottle of wine. "Do you want me to jump into the ring to crack heads again? I might be able to pull a few strings." However, humor glinted in tinted eyes as she kept pouring.

Wine was only the beginning, after all. They were here to party!

She toasted back. "To good friends."

She couldn't help but pick up on Korre's emotions; a flicker of something passed over her own features before vanishing. Instead of finishing the glass, she set it down and snapped her fingers to the server droid.

"We need stronger stuff. Whisky."

"You've got it, kid." The droid wheeled away, and for the first time, Korre would see the Arkanian Offshoot grin fully, almost a mischevious smirk.

"Up for a game?"

The bottle was set down, with two glasses. She poured two shots, and gestured the droid leave the bottle. This woman deserved the best, after all, and she already paid for top shelf.

"To good friends," Korre would echo, then take another drink. She'd just laughed and shaken her head at Ilana's humorous offer of violence, though.

"A game?" Korre looked at the two glasses of whiskey with widened eyes, then back up at Ilana. A grin curled her lips and she answered with, "I'm game. What are we playing?"

It looked like they were in to get plastered, then. It'd been a while since she'd gotten drunk drunk, but she'd been a bit of a party girl in college. She could handle her alcohol.

She smirked slightly, and tilted the bottle, then set it down on the bar.

Picking up her glass, she cocked her head. "In my university days, Never Have I Ever is one. Familiar?" Her eyes glittered with amusement, as she contemplated the glass for a moment. Top shelf never looked so good.

"Never have I ever cheated on an exam."

"I am! You first?" Korre took a long drink, but nearly choked on it when the Never-Have-I-Ever from Ilana was that she'd never cheated on an exam. "Damn, got me right away?"

The Belascan shook her head and lowered a finger to signal she had cheated on an exam before. "I snuck my old friend Effie answers for our high school biology exam so she'd pass and we could stay in the same grade," she explained after another drink. Now it was her turn. "What's a common thing I've never done?" A look of contemplation came over Korre's face, until it lit up with an idea.

"Never have I had to flush my eyes during a lab," she declared. She had to do the shower once... but never the eye flush.
