It was difficult for Emryc to stay away from the media. Their interest in him amplified ever since he returned after a long absence. During his return speech, he had skirted over the details of his disappearance and that simply wasn’t good enough for the news. The half Sephi had arrived at Rodia to meet with the local diplomats about setting up some military training facilities for jungle and guerrilla tactics. However, he also came here to partake in the semi annual podracing championships. It would be the qualifier rounds in just a few days and he arrived to prepare for it.
Emryc stepped out of the building he was in after a very long day of grueling meetings. While it wasn’t too hot, the humidity was awful on this planet. He had a speeder waiting with a droid driver, but he didn’t head over to it just yet. The half Sephi checked his chrono, knowing he had some time to make it over to do a few test runs at the range. He pulled off his suit jacket, folding it over one arm as he brought up a cigarra to his lips. Between what he could see and sense, no one was nearby. There was a sleight of hand and the end of the cigarra ignited on its own.
Emryc leaned against the side of the building, staring up through tinted sunglasses towards the sky as he blew out a cloud of smoke. The building he stood near was the capital one that often held diplomatic dealings of all sorts. It was a common site for ISC executives to frequent. Emryc knew it was only a matter of time before cameras descended on him, some of them already beginning to collect around his waiting speeder.
For now he remained where he was, plumes of smoke threading from his lips as he weighed the outcomes of his earlier meetings.
