Sometimes Carrick did things just because he wanted to.
Far too often he did things because they would help him in a political manner, because they would improve his powerbase and earn him favours from powerful and influential people. As a politician it was just kind of expected that he would turn things to his advantage and not at all far from the truth considering how much of the time he truly did do that.
But today he was on Serenno not to squeeze someone for blackmail material or offer a favour in exchange for another one further down the line, like he had done the last time he was on Serenno. No, he was here to do something he wanted to do and that was to take a Mando for a dinner date. Was it strange that he was taking an armoured warrior woman out for dinner?
Absolutely not and only a sexist would think there was - just because the woman could pummel him to a blood pulp if the mood took her, did not make her any less capable of being a captivating woman. In this case it actually kind of made Carrick even more interested truth be told. So he had sent her the time and date for their meeting via message and was now waiting at the spaceport for her to arrive.
He'd not so much dressed up as he'd worn what he usually did because that tended to be more dressed up than most people anyway. Humming a little bit as he waited, he double checked their reservation.
