Though it took him a bit longer than usual to get the place given that after exiting their complex he had to employ a few diversionary tactics. Knowing all too well that despite it appear that his security details were following his order to a tee. It was no less an assurance if by any chance he was really gonna just waltz out there with not one them tail him. As in any case thought the war was over and the feuds had been at best settled by an accord. The danger still and along with the added responsibility of his new post was not lost on him but then. With his mindset and for once taking a breather from things that he bolted. Using all the possible trick of the trade he'd pick up growing in such insufferable strick and chaotic times as he had to pull things off. Dogging thru alleys and switching speeder a few time till finally, he has gotten to his intended destination.

Walking in seem unintended and just blending in with the crowd of what few organics had arrived by then. He then once having the scope the premise to make sure that he wasn't followed. The young count lets go of all pretenses and proceeded just hang out drop by to grab a drink along with a slice or two pizza that was being served. And proceeded to walk off to the side when he unintentionally having his sight distracted by a face in the crowd bump into someone. And seem out of instincts much of anything else he blurts out.


" Oh sorry, i didn't mean to...."

His words cut short as he turns and come face to face with the individual

 

[Riamah]

"You're taller than I remember. Then again, you made an impression on me enough to remember your name. Thank you. Truly."

A minor break in her business façade happened as Ra spoke. It showed that under everything, there was still somebody with emotion and feeling. As lead of the Merchant Fleet, she maintained that mask and it rarely came down in public. However, remembering Charles and how he had been the one that helped her through a traumatic event broke through that.

It lasted a few moments only before that façade was back, but hopefully Charles didn't miss it.

"I've grown up. Become somebody important. Here I am lead of the Merchant Fleet and make trade deals with others. What about you?"

The details of how she grew from that broken young woman were kept out of the conversation, but she would tell him outside of this party if he wanted to know what had transpired.

A person then bumped into her from behind and she turned around to see what had happened. They turned to face each other at the same time and he said he was sorry and didn't mean to bump into her. He wasn't somebody she had met or even seen before. She held a hand out to either steady him or shake if he had his balance back.

"I am Ra'a'mah Numare and am the head of the Merchant Fleet here. Welcome to the Space Bazar and this party."

It was then between take a sip and take the last few bites of the pizza in hand as he for once seem slowly settle in enjoying his time away from it all. When he got distracted mistaken one the guess for Ja'rrod or one his personal guards that he accidentally bumps into someone. Who after his heartfelt apology seem had as their eyes met gave no indication she'd recognized who he was. Which was as he figures both good and bad at which time not wanting to make a further fool himself. That he did his best keep his balance and not spill his drink on her as she then continued on say with a hand outstretched before her.

"I am Ra'a'mah Numare and am the head of the Merchant Fleet here. Welcome to the Space Bazar and this party."

And it was then in mid-thought he could help ponder if he should or not tell her.... but t, in the end, end one side won over the other as he responded back.

" Well, its a pleasure meet you Ra'a'mah Numare and have say nice party have here."

Reaching over with his clean hand after shifting his drink to the other that earlier held the pizza.

" Names Andulf Teraan, a representative from Alderaan holdings here."

Which with a smile thought in the back his mind he was sort conflicted to have to go with half-truth but then again it was not like he lied. As most what he said was true for out here he was simply just a representative and being count was just something he figured has to be. A title really that held very little meaning to him given the unspoken history he kept between those in their family. At any rate push these thoughts aside and somewhat thankful she seems didn't show any recognition nor preference in knowing he was a Count in the first place. Was sort night change of pace as it meant if perhaps this time he could just simply be Andulf. The person and not have contended in being the title....that he smiled thought glancing over notes that she had company. Which not wanting to be rude turn nod in acknowledgment of the other man there as he spoke.

"....though do not wish to intrude thought and would hope to extend the offer. When time permits it that I am able to make it up to you someday...."

He pauses and waited for her response before if anything else.

 

[Jim Pehico]

Jim had been wandering through the party for sometime now. Meeting many... interesting characters, to say the least. Jim continued through the halls until he saw a group of people forming around a woman. Ra, he’d know those eyes anywhere. Even though Ra was a bit different than the last time he saw her, she was still as beautiful as she was during their time on Naboo. He took out his flask and took a swig of lum. He began getting nervous. The mustachioed man gulped his drink quickly. He had butterflies in his stomach and his knees were weak. He hadn’t been this nervous since he began in the academy all those years ago. Jim walked towards the group of guests. Jim kept telling himself “play it cool” as he walked over to the group. He nonchalanantly entered the circle of guests.

“Excuse me, I didn’t mean to interrupt, but I just had to thank our lovely hostess for organizing such a wonderful event.” He said winking towards Ra.

A party staff member walked by the group with a platter of champagne. Jim effortlessly grabbed one on the edge of the platter and raised the glass. “Nothing shows gratitude like a good old-fashioned toast. To the hostess.” He said to the group.

[WD-334]

WD-334 arrived in a shuttle to the Space Bazaar. The last time the droid had been here, it had been for the Droid Con. It was quite an awkward meeting. With the droid was a group of LK model service droids, as a gift to the party, and the droids would be used to serve food. The war droid came through, but did not enter, instead attempting to contact both @Ra'a'mah and [member="HK-36"] to let them know it had arrived. The droid did not wish to participate, as it had bigger things to worry about rather than partying. But for now, it would patrol the Denon system, perhaps some patrolling near the station. "I have a delivery here for you" the droid communicated, then it waited outside.

 

[STaCLO]

SN-1411 had heard rumors of a party hosted by the metal lords. Even though he didn't have an official invitation he didn't care. He was an aid on one of their missions, and was simply gonna invite himself as a reward for his heroism. Heading through the Denon system to the space bazaar. He'd eventually make it, arriving in his hammerhead corvette. He didn't think to bring a gift though, such forgetfulness, but he'd continue. The droid making his way out and to the party. Medals polished, and his coat buttoned for the occasion, like he normally did when in the company of others in such a setting. Passing by the rather large war droid as he did. A few more steps and he was there, quickly the droid would glance around, looking at who was here and what to do.

 

[Riamah]

She listened as Andulf replied to her and introduced himself. He accepted her extended hand to shake. His last comment caused her blink slightly, but her professional business attitude remained. Friendly, but not close. Approachable, but not on an intimate level.

Giving him half a smile, she nodded.

"I'm glad you decided to come and visit. No damage done and certainly. We can arrange a future meeting."

The conversation was short, but the message was hopefully clear. A moment after she finished she saw somebody moving closer to the group and grab one of the drinks before making his way to them.

If she had trouble keeping that façade up now would be a test for her. When Jim raised the glass he had grabbed on the way and made a toast to her, she gave him one of her true smiles. They had met before she had learned she was sith, what her true past was. When she was a freighter pilot and simple apprentice within the Force. He may not even remember or know she could use the Force. Hopefully that detail would be forgotten if he knew. If word got around she could use the Force, there could be issues within the Metal Lords.

So far nobody had figured that out about her and she strove to keep it secret.

"Jim, it's been almost as long since seeing as it was for Charles here. What have you been up to? Hey can always use a good worker on duty if you're ever interested in settling down in one place that is."

More people and droids arrived and a message came over her communicator that WD had arrived with a delivery of some kind. Her role as hostess, she was not in a position to leave and meet up with him. Hopefully HK could do that and the delivery could...well...be delivered.

As SN entered, he would see organics eating, droids milling around and a general sense of ease and a relaxing atmosphere. Ra herself was in the mix of people and was unable to greet him herself.

[Delila Castillon]

Delila had arrived more than a little late but with a party this size no one would honestly care. Eyes had taken in the shiny droids milling around the entrance. It was odd to her. Droids at a party? The only droid she knew that would want to party was [member="HK-36"] . An odd one, that droid. Could stand to have a memory wipe or three.


Free hand picked up a piece of pizza and a bottle of beer. The redhead had plans to camp out in a corner and enjoy the night while stuffing as many calories as she could into her mouth. One could never pass up free pizza and beer.

 

[Jim Pehico]

Jim was beyond happy that Ra was pleased to see him, He typically kept his cool with most women, but Ra was something special... extraordinary even, maybe it was the way she held herself, Jim always had the hots for a confident woman, and Ra was the most confident woman he’d ever met. Jim sipped his champagne as Ra talked to him, it was not the cheap stuff, Jim figured it made sense to use high quality alcohol due to the lack of organics in the party.

“It has been far too long, Ra.” Jim said with a friendly grin. “As for me, I’ve been doing odd jobs mostly, worked with the Hutt Cartels, only for a couple of months, did a lot of spice smuggling, being a scoundrel.” Jim said. “As for your Job offer, I suggest we talk details over dinner? It’d also be a great way to catch up. Besides, I’ve heard Denon has plenty of fantastic restaurants, I would love it if you would show me your favorite local restaurant.” Jim said with a slight smile.

It was then after what seem been an awkward start of an introduction could ever be. That he then soon hears her reply while she then takes his hand in his and gives it a firm yet friendly shake punctuated by a simple half-smile from her.

"I'm glad you decided to come and visit. No damage was done and certainly. We can arrange a future meeting."

To which he then gives an equally firm yet friendly shake to reciprocate hers.

"Glad be here and have to say relieved....no harm no foul certainly has a good ring to it. But yes arrangement for a possible future meeting ...."

He then glances over and notes the new stranger with glass in hade come to give his compliment to their host. Glass of some spirit in hand to which seeing her turn address the other. That the arrival of a familiar face as she entered to which somewhat unsure if her arrival would undo a bit of quite a time he'd had. So he goes over to Delila Castillon and briefly talks to her for a moment but not before turn speak with Ra as he then hands her a contact card he kept.

"...and i guess then when we should speak of setting things for later. Will for a moment excuse myself grab a drink...."

 

[Theo Vereen]

He needed a night out, he needed a break so a party in any form was the way to go. So far he had not failed to notice the mixture of humans, and droids. Interesting theme for certain.

Unconsciously his his hand reached out for a drink from a passing try, immediately he felt the cold moisture covered cup he knew he had expertly captured it. As a reward for his efforts he lifted it to his lips and took a nice long draw, oo cold. He could see the Ambassador to the Faction of the Metal Lords in Count [member="Andulf Nicholas Teraan"]. Alderaan was well represented as his ice blue eyes fell upon the form of the woman in charge of embassy security, and he heard recently something about Explorer Corps in the always smashing looking [member="Delila Castillon"].

There were a host of others he did not know [member="Jim Pehico"] | @Ra'a'mah | [member="SN-1411"] | [member="WD-334"] | [member="HK-36"] . The question now was who to approach first or should he take his fill of the offered finger foods. Well he was hungry. He slowly gravitated over to peruse the food.

Pizza. His mother said that wasn't really a meal more like a snack. Ok..snacks. Pizza red sauce, white sauce, and no sauce. He leaned forward slightly and took a deep breath, they sure smelled good. It would go very well with the drink in his hand he picked the first slice up and folded it New Alderaan Style and bit the tip from it.

Red sauce blotted his top lip as he enjoyed his snack.
