Private Diplomacy and Other Matters

[Alexi di Garthos]

Esteemed Senator Sheltrak,

I would be pleased if you would join me for a luncheon in the High Council chambers here on Ralltiiri at your convenience. It will be a modest and private gathering, intended for conversation and the sharing of ideas.

I look forward to your response, and hope that we might find time in the coming days to discuss matters of mutual interest.

Respectfully,

Alexi di Garthos
Matriarch of House di Garthos and Presiding Head of the High Council of Ralltiiri

Her finger hovered over the send function for a moment. The others had failed to reply; no-shows that did nothing for her credibility, her strategic position, or the subtle pressures bearing down on Ralltiiri from neighboring powers. Every day of silence made her homeworld more vulnerable. Every missed opportunity was a small opening for influence to slip toward the superpowers edging their borders. She could not afford that now; not when diplomacy might be the only thing standing between her people and someone else’s grasp.

The message when it had been received was different. He wasn't going to deny that and rolled his neck for a moment while in the seat. Zeltros had largely begun to be left alone and its position after the planeshift had been better in some cases. At least for them, the former chancellor and largely advisor since zeltron senators were stopped by the offworlder who took over as queen and forr a time had supporrt from other offworld powers. Had stopped it so once she was gone and they had been able to recover a lot was able to be done. Return to their industry return to elections and he mostly with the fall of the alliance just advised where he could.

Barsoom was where they could go from as the tram going from the hidden temple everyone knew existed that lived on the planet but pretended it didn't to the club that served as the entrance let him read. "Oh hot date?" The voice of Ami Dejah the head of the temple was there as she looked at him. "I... don't know who they are but someone wanting to meet and talk has rarely gone wrong before." He said it with a small chuckle as he moved. Ami speaking as she was there. "Didn't the last time you did that, you, three jedi and a guard end up drugged, nude and in the case of you and the master Leori... Married?" She said it as a question and he spoke.

"Yes but when the netherworld opened she was able to become one with the force and I will always remember her. " He said it but looked at himself, his clothing wasn't rags but it was layered, his hair unkempt and slicked back and a beard. "I'll need some clothing and a shave." THe zeltron looked at him as his aid was helping him but he had a small grin when they got to the club and his appointments were set. SOme small styling so that his hair didn't look freshly cut, a loose scarf he could wear as he didn't know if it would be chilled and an overcoat as he was moving through the port. He was getting to the ship to make way to meet Alexi with a confirmation message sent back. his ships transponder for checks and all information so he could arrive.
