The boy for whom Oedipus had been waiting was well late and the mischievous lad was in no mood to wait any longer. "Well, mother can't say I didn't try," he pondered. It wasn't the first nor would it likely be the last setup that she put to him, always dangling the family needs speech but as usual, it wasn't until she winked and told him that she knew he'd do anything for her before he'd cave.
At least that's how he wanted to remember such moments.
Walking around the large crowded room he spotted many fancy faces and expensive clothing to go with them. It was so terrible to see all this wealth wasted on hiding their most valuable assets, their bodies. True wealth, he thought, was shown in the care one took of their own body and showing skin was a natural way to do this. Hiding your body behind fancy cloth and animal skin was frankly, embarrassing. One could only assume that they were ashamed of mismanaging their assets and hid to protect what little dignity remained.
No, it was far better to spend your money on expensive gifts and toys to play with. The more exotic and dangerous, the better as one could flaunt this over thine neighbor and expose their haughtiness for what it was, a pathetic imitation. Oedi was looking for such a gift tonight, both to gift to his mother and show up his lazy triplet brothers. He was sure that neither of them would be able to come close to anything that he could find for her.
Spotting a fearsomely large beast near a handful of people, Oedi was taken by its ghastly appearance and knew at once what it was and that he just HAD to have it. Walking briskly, he approached someone who had clearly been paid to attend. Of course, he must be a servant accompanying the most beautiful and divine woman. She had a halo of familiarity but he couldn't let that distract him from the task as he approached the servant from the side, clicking his fingers to get his attention. @Taz
"Excuse me, service please." If the man turned around, Oedipus would smile and point towards the large Hutt nearby @Nor'baal "I want that one, tied up and ready for transport to Juvexia. If he's a guest, I'll pay double for your discretion. Well, any Hutt will do really, if you have a better one in stock."
His opulent face was serious, fully expecting the man to comply with his order. Sometimes the boy forgot that his word carried little weight away from home, but he was quite ready to pay the man for the hassle.
