Private Blue is the Warmest Color

[Katagiri Ike]

This was weird.... strange... uncalled for... the silver haired Atrisian couldn't believe she had agreed to it at all as she was walking down the hallway as she went over the message again to try and figure it out. The Atrisian had to well she had to get dressed if nothing else. Matsu had told her to meet her old friend Alli Vern who seemed to have been in serious need of meeting someone not... married. Katagiri rolled her eyes a little at that but she agreed to do it cause what else was she going to tell her family... no... she was allowed to tell her no right. Bah either way as she changed into the silver and white outfit she was wearing and adjusted her hair... most might be sensing a theme if they were not careful but she did have one other thing not many of them did... A gaiter for her neck that had been made for the supreme chancellor of the republic at one point. Dawnracers gaiter made her effectively force dead with an aura so she wouldn't be bothered if there was a problem. "Alright now lets go and try to meet this Alli Vern."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli couldn't believe she was doing this. She was at a date.. set up by her The black dress she wore was back to her old standard. Not the conservative of Aurna, but the very open style of Alli. She waited at a table of the nicest restaurant she could find near the woman. The table had a expensive wine bottle waiting and Alli sat there. She usually liked to arrive late, but well the new her figured she should be there early to make a good impression. It was Matsu's sister. She just hoped this didn't turn out to be a huge mistake. Alli sat there, poised to accentuate her curves in her black dress that left just enough to the imagination. Taking a deep breath she didn't move hoping to grab the attention of the woman that would be arriving.

She arrived at the restaurant itself and stood in the silver outfit as she was looking outwards. Seeing where she was supposed to go to with a nod of her head. She could do this... she could do this... there was nothing more dangerous then fighting a darksider... so why should she be worrying about this. She looked at the wine on the table and the others who were around them as she came closer to it. A smile appearing on her face as she let out the breath she hadn't known she was holding. "Hello Alli Vern , I am Katagiri... Matsus sister." She looked at her and brought a hand up to her hair to make sure it was out of her face with a nod and taking her seat.

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli was pleased, Katagiri was cute. Her dress was great and she didn't seem crazy yet. "So we were both forced here by Matsu? " She asked with a giggle. "I am Alli Vern, as you guessed. Used to be Alli Wren, and Aurna Vern to be upfront.. I trust that a sister of Matsu with this information. " She hoped that didn't ruin things already. She nervously started pouring wine. Somehow she is nervous out of all people. It had been ages since she dated. Alli hoped that this wasn't ruined already or anything. "I haven't done this in ages, here have some wine, it is a personal favorite of mine" She takes a swig, making sure to enjoy its flavor.

Hmm she listened to her talking about who she was and.. the name Alli Wren was vagely familiar... there wasn't much and her one time appointment almost as the head of the Omega Pyre hadn't seen reasons... but then Ayden had stepped in and it went from there. So the name was older and she wasn't certain about disliking... no she was certain since her sister was many things but she wasn't cruel or going to set her up with someone she would dislike or have nothing in common with. "Wine sounds good.... and yes Matsu does this sometimes... seems to think I should be around more people." She laughed a little to herself while sitting down and getting her glass ready. This was going to be an interesting night.

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli poured her date’s glass. “Well people are good. Plus she seemed to leave out that her sister was hot.” She said with a smirk as she took another drink as a waiter came and went leaving some bread and taking their order. This date shouldn’t be this hard but yet it was. “ So tell me more about you, surely the fact your Matsu’s sister isn’t the most interesting thing about yourself.” She had to admit it was a good start, or she hoped it was. She tried to subtlety give her date a look over and only let her gaze linger a little bit. “I have been a friend of Matsu’s for a while. I didn’t realize she had a sister.”

[Katagiri Ike]

"She has two, myself and Yewei." A small look as she had the glass and smiled taking a sip. "As to talking about myself well.... I mostly am a recluse who works in the home office." She said it with a smile on her face and order some of the food. She didn't know what she had wanted when she got here but she quickly looked over the menu as she prepared it mentally and looked over Alli Vern whom she was having to admit... smoking hot. This was something of a blind date and at least it was ending up being off to a good enough start. She was not certain where it would go later but for now... well for now time o have a couple hours of enjoyment.

 

[Alli Vern]

“Well surely there is more to you than just being a sister and hiding in a home office. Who do you work for?” She felt that this was a little difficult to get information out of her date. “I am just glad you’re cute.” She smirked as she said that. “Never know when your set up by a friend. So, what does a girl like you do for fun? “ She then ponders the answers to these questions. Realizing she doesn’t know what she even does for fun, well hopefully that question didn’t get asked to her.

Katagiri looked at her for a moment. "I work for Sasori.. it is our families company now andthere is maybe a little more... don't want to scare you or get myself to excited just yet." She said it and had a small smile that was tight lipped on her face. Silvery eyes looking before pulling her hair back and she waited thinking about it. "Well for fun since you are cute yourself..." She winked and.... "I hang around and run tours on Spira... a resort world. Just island hopping and letting tourists come and get a guided tour to the different parts of the planet." She said it with a wider grin. "The celeste ship we developed will allow for thousands to spend their credits and is a hefty source of income.

 

[Alli Vern]

"That sounds fun, I think I have heard of Spira before. I forgot about it. That sounds rather mundane, running tours. What about it do you like so much? " Alli took a piece of bred and buttered it before taking a bite. This place was amazing. She was going to have to remember this place. Having been a while, she didn't know any good resturants considering it had been like 20 years since she had been in control. Aurna knew some good places on Wren'goa station. It seemed like she would have to go back to them. "I own Tanlab,Industries and Wren'goa Station and Libertalia." She said eating another bite of her bread. "It keeps me busy." Alli took another sip and smiled. "Hard to believe that Sasori has become so big when it used to be my old company's subsidiary."

[Katagiri Ike]

"Mundane...." There was a look and a twinkle in her eye about that word and oh there was plenty. "having tours, getting to meet so many different people and hear their stories... hear their tales. A different boy and girl in every port we go to... dozes of beaches it is your job to kow about... getting to be poolside all day and from time to time having some drinks with the people." She said it and grabbed a piece of bread as she spread the butter on it and took a bite. "You helped out Sasori whenit was young and now if needed it can offer you help.. you know my sister loves you... in her way. Main reasonwhy I was more then willing to come and do something like this at first... though now." She raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to look at Alli Vern

 

[Alli Vern]

"Well I suppose that does keep one busy, I like the dozen of beaches and being poolside part of it though. Though I have to rebuild my tolerance to strong drink. but that is a complicated story." She smiles at the thought of Matsu's feelings for her. "I adore Matsu, she has been a loyal friend for many years through and through. I don't think I need much and she has already shared some notes with me so I can play catch up." She took a drink and looked around, lingering slightly on her date again. "So tours and a desk job, sounds like you are quite busy. How did I ever manage to get lucky enough to take some of your precious time." It was nice though to be on a date, to do something other than work or go through your own memories. Wondering how many were lost , or not remembered. Enough of her was back however that Aurna was gone. it was sad in a way but probably for the better. The girl didn't have much of a life. Time to change that.

"Well that is easy enough, I get to make my own schedule socan headout and a world like this is rip with people who want to getaway and enjoy a resort world where everything is taken care of. From cabana boys and to dancing girls... we even have small self contained resorts that are strung within some of the lagoons allowing you to be secluded but safe." She said it and kept her eyes watching Alli Vern with a nod of her head in approval. She would have to stay to hear all about it... there was oh so many things she wanted to learn and it wouldn't hurt to listen and get the side of the tale about a friend of her sisters. "Well if or when you wish to tell me the tale of why you stopped drinking.. I think I would like to be around to hear it."

 

[Alli Vern]

"I didn't stop drinking, just got caught up in work I suppose. Now I am trying to start again and realize that I lost my tolerance. I like the sound of that world though. I don't think I own any of my vacation homes anymore, might be nice to find a new one. I live on and own Wren'goa Station, its over Hypori and is self governed, from time to time I bother with it's politics but mostly it runs it self. " She smiled and took another bite of her bread. It was good, she hoped the rest of the food was as good. "I have to admit I am a bit jealous that your job is to spend time on beaches and such. I usually am in a lab or office." She laughed. "Though I suppose that is by choice. However when I find a problem I want to solve, my mind sort of goes in overdrive and then weeks pass and my acquaintances wonder if I am alive."

[Katagiri Ike]

She gave a nod of her head to that... it was nice being able to spend the time on beaches and the resorts... she wasn't going to deny it but it was also a different beast entirely... she wanted to tryy and explain what sort of problems there could and would usually be to Alli Vern in truth there was plenty but how best to broach the subject. "It isn't all sunshine and rainbows... those are there granted but it is a lot of work in a different way, organizing, getting the food or materials... even for some of the bigger things like keeping trackof all the people. You and Matsu make things they can use... I have to try and make things that each one wants."

 

[Alli Vern]

"Don't you have a staff for that though, you know an event planner, wait staff, logistics?" Alli asked with a raised brow. " I have droids do most of my stuff, with people only when droids or AI are not suitable. The only downside to this was during Clockwork. " She laughed, seemed horrible at the time, now I just think about what the galaxy was like in those times. how crazy it got. "But considering I program them, I prefer them." Alli watched as their salads/soup were delivered. Mmmm this smells delicious." She smiled as she looked down to her soup. It was something red and expensive. She didn't really know but the smells were already telling her it was good. She took a bite and savored it. "This is just as good as I was told it would be."

Alli Vern

She looked at her and raised an eyebrow as the salads arrived and smelling them was nice but she slid a hand to a fork. "I do have staff and people who can do things for me but I enjoy the personal touch as well. After all if you can do something you enjoy and get paid for it.. then ou won't have to work a day in your life." She said it with a grin taking a bite of the food and it was very delicious... as well she learned a few things about Alli herself when it came to droids and computers. She would use them over the people which did mean that she wouldn't have as much competition possibly... just have to make for an appealing case. "I would be more then happy to show you the next time you are on spira."

 

[Alli Vern]

"Well that is true, it doesn't feel like work most of the time which I suppose is the problem I end up spending far too much time working then." She smiled as her date dug into a salad and Alli tried her soup. "Well do I have a particular reason to go to spira?" She smiled and thought about it. She could probably spare the time. Though she wasn't sure what she would do on Spira. Maybe actually relax for a moment. Perhaps she could get lucky with Katagiri if she went. She tried to not stare at Katagiri Ike when she said that but failed. "So any embarrassing stories about Matsu?"

 

[Katagiri Ike]

Her eyebrow raised at that question and there was a story or two possibly... but... "Something like that.... telling you all of my sisters embarrassing secrets... oh that will have to cost you something big... I wonder." She tapped her chin looking at Alli Vern and had a moment to eat and finish her food. Then her drink... well the salad course for them until she was checking it all out. "What could be so good and exchanged for a morsel like Matsu and Choras first date.... Or maybe when we were in the jedi temple training and learned we were family the first time?" She raised her eyebrows with one hand drumming lightly on the surface of the table.

 

[Alli Vern]

"Well what would you like in exchange? I love a fair exchange. Sometimes even a bet or two." She asked as their first plates were clear. Taking another sip of her wine, she kept looking at her date. Raising her brow and being a little silly. She was nervous which was weird, she hadn't been on a date in forever. It was nice though. She could see the family resemblance with Matsu. "I hope It doesn't matter that maybe once upon a time a long time ago... Matsu and I might of done some diplomacy together in a closet... with another person." She blushed "I want to be honest and upfront if I can help it. I figure you have a right to know. The timing of my telling might be off but I was worried about when and now seems to be an ok time."
