Kinyen...
Another new planet and another new mission: Negotiating terms of a possible trade deal, but this client was definitely different than most. The Trandoshan seemed very ambitious and very interested in what she had to offer, but Celeste came here to inquire about his true intentions and negotiate the details first. As she descended the ramp of her Nightsweeper Yacht she wasn't clad in her usual senator attire. She came here today to represent her company back on Kalist IV, that was still in the hands of her uncle right now because she had not managed to pay regular physical visits as she was way too busy for that with all the diplomatic business at hand after all, and so she was wearing a sleek black dress fit for the chosen venue and the kind of business. Her lightsaber was hidden in her purse. She was sure whe wouldn't have to use it, but you could never be careful enough...that was something she had learned quite a while ago.
The "Silvergrass Star" was a rather fancy establishment, and even though it looked quite pretty, it was too crowded for her taste and the hustling and the buzzing of the guests annoyed her a little, but as always she wouldn't let anyone notice her annoyance. Instead, she kept up her professional appearance, a slight charming smile on her lips as she approached the bartender that was serving some drinks in the atrium. She was sure that she would spot the Trandoshan as soon as he would approach, but until then she wanted to enjoy a chilled drink to calm her nerves a little. "What can I offer the beautiful lady?", the Nautolan barkeeper immediately asked her with a smug grin, checking her out from head to toe which she ignored for now. "A Virgin Mojito", she replied, a smile still on her lips, acting completely polite even if his look bugged her, but she let it slide for now in order to avoid causing a scene and it was a good thing that he refrained from starting any further advances afterwards. A minute later she had her drink and started sipping it casually, legs elegantly crossed on the bar stool while she attentively observed the crowd. She was not atvall expecting trouble here as Kinyen was neutral territory, but so was Bunduki and after the assassination she trusted no place anymore. "I'm off in about an hour, so I thought...-", the bartender's voice suddenly chimed in, his breath hot on her ear so that she immediately turned around, a firm grip on his chin while she stared at him warningly. "I'm not interested" she hissed dangerously and his slightly lustful eyes immediately shifted into fright before she let go of him. Why was she so on edge? Perhaps because this was her first business outside mission after the unexpected assassination on Bunduki, but she almost felt bad for her little intimidation of the bartender...She was hoping the Trandoshan would soon arrive so that they could start discussing their terms and get this over with.
