She looked at the card then back to Theo. This was dangerous for him. Punishment would be mild if he made I t. God forbid if they did not.

"I will be there." She stared at the card for a moment, "you will be careful" it was a request. Then through the cluster and back home. Yes this could be done.

“Thank you”, he knew she was taking a risk and showing great faith in him. Leaning over Theo kissed her upon the check. It was a token of appreciation and one to show how much he appreciated her friendship, “I promise I will be there.” What risk was he taking, it was not like the prince was actually going to be the next king of Alderaan. He was already punished was he not?

Ana smiled and blushed some. It was a moment where they were taking charge.


The next night

She sat quietly inside this place. Her eyes constantly looking toward the door. Ordering the pilot here had been quite the explanation, sitting with a drink that she barely tasted.

Come on Theo time to go.

 

[Theodosius Organa]

Slipping away was not an easy task and nether finding passage while concealing his trail. Luckily he was not always just a noble and thought that conflict was to be avoided as best as possible. That entirely meant that sometimes a low profile was needed and subterfuge.

The next night

Armed with a stylish suit the prince for-gone the tie, and left the top several buttons undone of his shirt. That and he was armed with a cylinder of a relic of his past under his jacket. Still for the moment Theo played the shadows while Ana waited for him in the bar. A Bothan sitting up at the bar did get up and walk over to Ana’s table. Well he did walk over there and reached down and picked something up off the floor. It was subtle and if you did not know what you where looking for you would have not noticed the data pad came from his sleeve and not the floor. “Excuse me Miss you had dropped this”, the Bothan lay it on the table and walked off to the bathroom.


Written on the data pad

I’m across the walkway in front of the hotel. You might not see me hiding in the crowd but head to your transport.

It was signed, ‘your kiss on the check.’

Your kiss on the check was a rather checky statement but was rather clever. The whole note was rather enigmatic and to sign it in such a way only one person in the bar would understand it. Also being able to make a lady blush was a pleasure was it not?

Ana nearly jumped from her seat as the Bothan handed the datapad to her. She began to protest that she did not know whose it was when she looked down to see a message. Oh she finally understood glad that she had not made a scene or chased after the Bothan. Cheeky fellow Theo could be, she looked at how he signed it.

Head to the transport, Ana paid for the drink barely touched and walked slowly toward the ship. She moved to make sure Theo would be able to follow and to hide her own nervousness. She could feel her heart fluttering each time she stepped, what if they were caught. Oh why did she suggest this, such a foolish idea. But it was too late now. Holding her head up trying not to smile too much she made her way to the departure gate, tempted to look around and controlling the urge to do so. She moved inside.

She could only hope that Theo made it inside too.

Not desiring to arose any suspicion the Countess, Theo followed from a distance making sure to the best of his ability that no security cameras recorded him. Doing this was not easy but he was able to keep up.

There was the departure gate Theo made his move using the crowd to hide in. Hiding in plan sight was a subtle way to move around without arousing suspicion.

Ana got up looking out to see if Theo was nearby. She couldn't call out and she couldn't ask someone to look. The announcement came over to settle in. Ana sat down the attendant shut her door and drew the curtain. Ana wanted a cup of tea. She waited. Everything rode on this.

Theo would have Talk to Ana about not having witnesses. If there was a witness to her being seen with Theo, the queen might not be so forgiving to her. Theo made his way through the isle. “Excuse me”, with a wink Theo slide past his side of the isle with the other half occupied by the stewardess. In was pretty close quarters and the young prince received contact by the young woman who did not mind. “Pardon me Sir”, she was blushing how cute, “If you need anything at all, please call me. My name Chelsey”, she said as they slid by each other.

“Indeed Chelsey, I think I shall have a drink....if you would please”, with another wink he opened up the curtain and stepped on through. “Well the chairs”, he began to speak with only Ana in the private quarters with him, “looks quite comfortable on this public transport.” He was quite sure Ana heard the conversation he had with Chelsey but to cover there tracks he could not be acting like a prince. He took his seat across from [member="Anastacia Fa'leen"].

She looked over at him glad that he had made it through, "The chairs are comfortable." She nodded to him, he may not act like a prince but she needed to act the lady. "Where are you traveling to this day sir?"

She made sure not to give her name she wanted everyone to think they were strangers and that she had no other interest than a fellow traveler. So far so good. She would order in food soon, and than there would be no reason for anyone to peek in or question what they were doing.
