As soon as Aska was pointed in the direction of the Zeltron twins, she became like a kid in a candy store and seemed to either miss or ignore Ali's non-verbal cue. The Togruta furrowed her brow and pouted as she watched her mistress leave with the two Zeltrons, leaving her to be led away in the opposite direction by the man. Without knowing exactly what it was Aska had planned or what instruction she would have given, Ali was now forced to go with the flow and she nervously followed behind the man, before she was brought in front of what was starting to become a large gathering around President Thorne. The woman in the black dress (@Dr Ilana Morata ) and man with red hair (@Lucas Rinn ) were still there, and to the Togruta's surprise, Klied had joined the group along with the man he had been speaking with before (@Soygun York ), now sans cigar. Among them all was Emryc Thorne (@Darth Raze ). It was not really very surprising to Ali that he attracted a lot of attention. She'd first met him at an event similar to this. Granted, it was a much more corporate affair and everyone there had been dressed to the highest degree as part of the Blackwell Technology conference, but it was a big social engagement nonetheless and plenty of people had been congratulating him on his appointment to their board of directors at the time.
"Mr. Thorne, the woman from outside is here. As you've seen, her companion is already being looked after. Do you require anything else, sir?" said the man. He was brief, but effective in delivering the information. Ali felt very anxious standing in front of the group. Though they were not at an event like the Blackwell conference, they were all well dressed and certainly had a lot more clothing on than Ali did, or ever really tended to. The Togruta was wearing the outfit she usually wore when she and her mistress visited Free Worlds (reference picture). Though it was far from conservative, Aska preferred she at least wore this, to the golden slave dancer's outfit she had adorned previously, as this drew too much unwanted attention and in many ways made it too obvious she owned a slave, which would have landed her in a lot of trouble.
As she always did when she was nervous, Ali started to wring her hands a little bit, but when she caught Klied's gaze she gave him a little wave "hello" and a smile. The bounty hunter was a friend of her mistress and had become a friend of Ali's too. The three of them had even traveled to the Daedalus together to watch Poffo's game of Hutt Ball. If Aska was too preoccupied with the Zeltron twins, then at least the Togruta would be more at ease with Klied around as a familiar face.
