Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
[member="Salara Zambrano"]
Imperial Palace, Bastion
It was not Kaine that Vanessa had come to see this time around. Though her interest in him was far more than platonic, the Sith Lord had decided to form a greater relationship with the Zambrano family. Her strings to them - however little they were - consisted of an interest in the Emperor himself and, for a time, association through her not-daughter with the original Elani Zambrano. That was it.
Vanessa had learned that Salara Zambrano, the woman she had met at that gloriously festive event the Emperor had put on, was in fact Empress of the Sith Empire and Kaine's prime wife. Having been worried that she had unintentionally offended the woman, Vanessa had decided to try and forge a relationship with her - platonic, of course - in order to further foster her relationship with the Zambranos. So it was that she had attempted to make arrangements to meet with the Empress and perhaps form a friendship.
Surprisingly enough, her request for visitation had been approved. Here she stood in the palace, waiting to meet with the one woman whose influence over and devotion to Kaine was absolutely beyond comparison.
