Waiting for her guest that had pay for the fine dinning she put up as one of the prize at to help aid aftermath of Duckwell. Looking at her her hand maiden as she smile at her. Cheeking to make sure all was ready for when [member="Noah Corek"]. As she let herself wonder her way around to some of the table of some of the lesser house under her house.

As she once again cheeked her own private dinning room looking all around as she could see that the sun was now going down under the the mountain as soon the moon would raise up. Looking at the candles was place around the room then on the table. Smiling once again, as she made her way out of the room. Finding her way to wait for one to come into her own resorts.

Noah sighed as he pulled at the collar of his dress uniform, it was a bit scratchy because of the fact that Noah hadn't wore it in over six months since his promotion to Colonel. Now here was Noah, having a dinner with a Countess, he sometimes mused to himself about how funny it was that he went from a Lieutenant to the commander of the largest private military corporation. Noah stepped out of the speeder he had rented and gave the keys to the valet to park it as Noah walked inside. Once inside Noah walked to the podium that a servant of sorts was at. "Colonel Corek, Countess Teramo is expecting me."

Looking him over as she waved Rose came over to greet her. "Greetings, Colonel Corek, my Mistress awaits, follow me sir." Rose let herself lend him towards the private area of the restaurant. The closer they got could see that the those dinnering there was of higher society. Until she spotted her Mistress coming to a stop as Countess had her back turn in her royal blue dress with her hair done in a fashion with curls hanging down on both sides.

Speaking to a family with two small children. Speaking softly to them as she listen to their parents concern about the unrest that the been happening since she been away on training. "I will look in to this presonaly, you have my word as the Countess of the Greater house of Sernno." , letting them get back to their meal turning around with a look of sadness to her blue eyes. Rose speaking before she could asked the question.

"Mi'lady may I present Colonel Corek,", a she turn around full letting her smooth out her long flowing dress of royal blue with trim of silver. Rose turning back to the Corek.

"Sir, May I present the Countess Calum of the Greater House of Teramo.", as she drop her head in respect for her Countess. Holding out her hand in a fashion. "Greetings, Sir, I hope you found the lovely resort with out problems. ", as she looked at him in his uniform.

Upon meeting the countess, Noah bowed in respect for the woman, Noah was not a man of class. Having been raised on the mid-levels of Coruscant and being a soldier for all of his adult life, so his mannerisms were probably not at all as good as the countess'. "Countess Teramo, your looking lovely tonight. The trip here was pretty easy, I was given good directions." Noah decided to give her a compliment first, more to smooth things over than anything else.

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Taking back her hand and giving a bow to her head. After which time she give a way to a smile upon her lips. "Im glad to here that Colonel", as she got to a place to where she could put her hand upon his arm. Waving to the way to where the table for them had be set up. "Shall we.", Letting him lead her if so desire if not she would lead him.

Stepping into the room there would be green plants place around the room there would be glass all around even the ceiling to look out over the mountain and the lake that had the start of the moon lighting coming a cross it. Waiting until be sitting after all she had remember her training growing up maybe to well. Not wanting to loss this part of her being of High born its what she been doing off planet what she was part of now that would surprise most. Maybe there was more to this high born society then met the eye.

"One of many fine dinning that my father has set up through out the planet. ", as she look out at the beauty of the place for many reason she respected the mountain them most. [member="Noah Corek"]

Noah smiled as the countess pointed out the dinning area to him and Noah led them there making sure to walk a a sedated pace so he could take in the scenery he could see through the windows. "It's amazing isn't it? More than anything in the galaxy, nature always finds a way to surprise. But I find sometimes that the mistake of us sentients is that we think we can control nature. When it is really the other way around." Noah informed her as they finally arrived at the private dining room, Noah had to admit, the countess had pulled out all the stops for the dinner, candles and everything.

Before they could get settle into their chairs. Brought the first course that was to be what looked to be little garlic fish on a stick. First then was to pour the wine that was very old vintage. Coming to the a place where she felt like she could talk once again. After taking a few sips from the glass. "Yes the beauty of it it all, that it can be here one day and gone the next. Just like in battle in the heat of it you don't think until its over with. We are sent in to fight for a cause what is left after we get done souls are lost.", as she looked at him.

As she took one of the sticks to her small plate that started to take off each little fish upon. Took one in her mouth to enjoy the taste, after which time she looked out at the twin peeks. "You know all my life until the mandalorians came to this planet I was raised and groom to take over the head of the Greater House to have a voice of one of the Greater ruling House. " , as she raise her own glass up before taking a drink out of it again. [member="Noah Corek"]

Noah smiled as he sat in his chair and licked his lips as he looked down at the first course. First, Noah took a small sip from the wine to make sure he liked it, and he had to admit, it was very good. He then took a few of the small fish off of the stick and used his fork to eat a few, and just like the wine, they were pretty good. "I wasn't groomed to be a count. But I can relate. My father expected a lot of me, he had me studying everything about the Republic military before I was teen. Which was weird since he wasn't there 95 percent of the time. But at the age of fourteen I was inducted into the Coruscanti Youth Military Academy and at the age of eighteen, I was commissioned into the Republic Military, spent a year in the regular army and after that I spent the rest of my fourteen year career as a Commando."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

As she listen to what he had to say seeing that their own fathers had a hand in their up brings of what they would one day be groomed into. Did you every want to be something different to be free", as she took another one of the fish to her plant. As once again the red wine came to her lips. Smiling as she she went on for a little bit. As she remember all those times that had the bonding time with her fathers up in the mountains hunting. Knowing that she was special nothing like her mother with her spirit being stubborn but also one that of fierceness when it need to be the rest of the time as gentle and caring for her people.

"I know for me I wish sometimes to leave this all behind, in a way I have with being off the planet for links of time on mandalrian, finding myself becoming like them.", as she reach for the bottle that had been left on the table to refill both their glass even if they wasn't empty. Giving away to her own blue sky eyes to his own face to listen and see what would come about of the question put before him. Partly what she had just said, it was a matter of fact that she now was will into her training as will adoption into one of the clans. [member="Noah Corek"]

Noah laughed when she mentioned being free. "Oh trust me, I've earned my freedom through blood, sweat and tears, that and the five hundred people I killed in my days." Admittedly that last saying came off as a bit non-chalanty than he had planned. "Problem with leaving the military is that I've never known anything else, I been a soldier for over a decade and a half, all I've ever done is train to kill and maim. Not really much use for a old soldier like me in this galaxy, that is unless I become a bounty hunter, something I'd rather not do." Noah told her as he took a sip from his glass and a bite from the fish.
OOC: I litterally forgot about this until today.

(OCC: Its okay)

Couldn't be help but of a bit of laughter only to find herself once again. In a long pause only to feel it was her duty. I must explain my bit of laughter at such inapporate moment, I know killing is never easy, as will as being a solider it seem that we come from two very different worlds. I wanting to learn more of what soilder life is like and became one myself, you on the other hand are searching for something better path to take.

Taking a few more nibbles of her food before washing it down with some of the wine that it was paired with. Only to be deep in thought. What if I could help you learn something more valuable then that of the end of barrel of a gun. Catching the eye of there waitress to bring the next round out before that... lifting her glass for one last taste of the sweet warm wine. Say business world, as with your training and skill could come in handy if your are interested in hearing more, Mr. [member="Noah Corek"]

Noah had to admit, the offer she was putting before him was very intruging. It wasn't to say that Noah didn't have skills that wouldn't help him outside of the military, he had a masters degree in galactic history, some basic medical skills, basic engineering skills and basically anything else that a commando would need to survive in the field, though a lot of them could be transferred to every day life. Sitting back, Noah took another sip of wine and looked her up and down, deciding that he could trust her he nodded. "Alright, lets hear what you have to say."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Waiting with her own hands in her lap. Until the next course was put before them after the last plates was cleared. Only then did she wave for him to start as if this wasn't nothing but something she been train at these kind of dinners. All she awaited until they had taken a few bites of the choice of next plate before speaking. "Lets me ask you this question, could you get use to dinning in formal settings like this." Picking up her own glass of next pairing of wine that had been pour for them to enjoy with this course. "The only reason why I ask as you might be required of these kind business dinners."

After which time she let herself relax back in her chair with her glass of wine as she waited after his answer she would go into more of the finer deals.

Noah sat back in his chair after taking a bite of the new meal and a sip of his wine. Her offer was indeed interesting, give Noah a chance to learn some skills that might benefit if and when he finally retired from the military. "Alright, nothing ventured, nothing gained as my mother always use to say. I mean its not that I don't like places like this and dinners like this, so I might just see what your offering."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Looking at her glass for a time deeply in though. After which time this had to be done if anything so that her own piece of mind. If he had military background then he would be most suit for this offer. For the other part could he trust him, as just meeting that only time would tell. " As with any Greater House I have many business that I run under the House of Teramo, including also running some mining operation. I need an assisint in some of my undertaking with your military back ground its better.

Noah drummed his fingers against the table, thinking about what Calum had just said, he would take her offer, just not at the moment. "I appreciate the offer and such Countess, but I'm not really looking for a change of career at the moment, but once I do retire, I'll make sure to contact you." Noah informed her and then took a bite off of his meal and a sip from his glass.

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Raising her glass once again with a smile upon her lips with nothing. "Noting it, then I know how soldier pay can be, if you every find that your wanting a few extra credits let me know might have some simple jobs for you now and then." knowing that he was the one that bought the ticket to have dinner with her. That he must be in now paying what he did. As she raised a glass to her lips. Finding herself enjoy this ones company and how much relaxing this was going to be.
