A P E X
This was certainly a surprise.
Although they were aligned due to similar, corporate interests, two particular souls never had much interaction. From the outside looking in, the average bystander would simply chock this fact up to the obvious. Both men stood at the apex of a corporation. Both men had schedules as long as the Hydian Way. However, as these things often went, the truth of the matter laid underneath the surface. While, at face-level, the Sith Lord would never admit to having any feelings other than respect for his collegue...the truth was, he kept him at arm's length.
Why wouldn't he? After all, a lifetime's worth of possessions was heisted. While the most notable items eventually made their way back to Darth Metus, thereby converting his wrath into something less destructive, there was no reason for the two to become...chummy. The Metaphorical Bridge was no longer on fire, but it was still in need of dire repairs.
As such, imagine Metus' surprise when the call came. A call from the man who had it all.
"To what do I owe this unexpected...pleasure?"
