Private May I have this dance?

[Adrian Valerius]

Cantonica | 19:30

It was 19:30 local time at Canto Bight and the city was lit up with colourful beams of light, moving back and forth, directed at the sky. Even fireworks could be seen going off every so often. It was clear that a party or something rich related was to happen with so much fanfare. Looking around the city you would be met with a lot of fancy vehicles all heading for the same location. A very wealthy politician was throwing a party of the year, inviting all manner of super-rich individuals.

Waiting in line, in the air, held a light-blue vehicle with white-ish light-grey colour mixed in, carrying two individuals of great importance. Or at least that was their cover story. Okay, that was a lie, Adrian was of great importance, while his companion for this special event, had been given the importance to finish the mission. A man by the name Adrian Valerius and a woman by the name of Corala Gethsverg, both task to infiltrate the man of the hour and steal top-secret plans for The Galactic Alliance.

The waiting time wasn't terribly long and before long, they were guided for the landing path by the entrance, where a young man in a black vest, black trousers and white shirt. As Adrian exited the vehicle dropping the keys into the young man's hand as he walked around the vehicle to Corala's side. Opening the cars door, Adrian guided the black-haired woman out with a charming smile, walking like a couple back towards the red carpet. "Do be careful sir, I've just had it coated it with a new line of paint" explained Adrian in his posh Alderaanian tone. "Of course sir" ensured the young man and entered the car, before flying it off to a secret parking pad for all the guests. Another man quick to the other's place, to greet the next arriving people.

As they walked down the long red carpet rolled out for the arriving guest, was they bombarded with flashes from a sea of photographers. Slowly walking down the red carpet, Adrian just smiled and waved, being all too familiar with this kind of environment. He almost felt at home and to be honest, as much as he despised a lot of the rich and super-rich, he did enjoy the parties and glamour and political dance it often came to. Glancing down to Corala to see how his "wife" was handling this much attention and padded her hand as he spoke with a lower voice, "the trick to this, is to block out the noise, wave and smile. Oh, and to look dashing in your new dress dear".

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

It was just another job. Nothing more, nothing less. That's what Corala kept telling herself at least. Civillian attire was flashy and unnecessary, not to mention in combat operations the there was little to no protection that could be ascertained from its wear. The design was pleasant, though a tad much for her tastes. One benefit was that the sleeves would make it much easier to conceal the holotech on her arms and legs, but the positives stopped there.

Unlike most of her fellow agents, she wasn't totally unarmed. Most of her body was cybernetics, which made her a heck of a lot stronger than the average damsel in distress. It was also those same cybernetics that made her feel uneasy in social situations like this. Not to mention her partner was going to be a jedi, so on top of the normal social anexities she had to be concerned about him looking into her mind. He seemed nice enough, but Corala was all too aware that looks could be deceiving. As the pair waited in line to park, Corala double checked the state of her prosthetics, ensuring their holotech was holding. She needed to at least look normal, though the dim glow of her right eye was rather noticeable; even with all the advancements, her augmentations couldn't be concealed. "I'm just going to say this once, Master Jedi," She started, shifting her attention to her 'husband' for the evening. "If your hands go anywhere below the waistline we are going to have words. I'm sure that won't be an issue for you." She finished, readjusting her hair just as they touched down. She watched as her partner exited the speeder and moved to open her door. She took a moment to take a breath in and exhale it out. As the door was opened for her, she took his hand and pulled herself out, beginning the long walk down that infernal red carpet. She forced a sky smile to her face as she walked with her 'husband', listening to the words of advice he was trying to give her. The attention directed at her triggered a small wave of anexity, but she pushed it down and continued on; her smile slowly fading as the people kept on gawking. "I'm well aware of what is expected of me, darling." She muttered, as she tried to keep a look out for their target. Hopefully this evening wouldn't be an absolute waste of her time.

Adrian Valerius

As they walked down the red carpet, having their picture taking almost everytime they took a step. Not the mention, being recorded by small new droids as people were following the event from home over the holo screens. "Oh, every ounce of my being believe in you dearie" whispered Adrian back and suddenly stopped by a bunch of paparazzi. Placing his hand around Corala's waist, he pulled the woman close into his side, really selling them as a loving couple to the eyes of the public.

Continuing down the carpet, they were met by a woman with a small droid flying by her side. Taking Corala's arm as before, Adrian smiled respectively to the woman. "I must say, you two look like such a power couple and with such striking outfits. You must let the viewers know, what are your secret Mr and Mrs?" Started the greeter, putting every attention on Adrian and Corala, now with tens of thousands of people watching online.

"Adrian Valerius and this beautiful wife Corala Gethsverg. But, You know what they say about clothes. Dress to kill, not only for style" introduced Adrian them both, flashing a charming smile. Adrian was dressed quite differently to his darling wife for this night. Though his own suit didn't disappoint at all as he stood alongside Corala. And unlike Corala, Adrian almost wore the outlandish outfits daily, almost ready for a show of fashion. He even had a bit of glitter around his eyes, to match the gold on his suit, along with a tad bit of mascara and eyeliner to bring out his eyes.

Was he flamboyant? Yes, does he do it on purpose? Oh, you can bet your sweet ass that he does. "You can say that again sir" laughed the woman as she let Adrian and Corala continue.

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

Adrian promised that he wouldn't try anything, and given what she knew about jedi, Corala knew she could trust the jedi to hold true to his words. Corala rewarded him with a pleasant smile, though she was less than pleased about this situation. The flashes of the paparazzi got on her nerves, and truth be told a small piece of her was concerned with her face being blown all over the holonet; she was going to need another surgery after this.

The young journalist intercepted the pair along the way, and Corala's right eye began to study the woman and the devices she held. A small screen showing the contents of her holopad played at the right side of her vision, as Corala could see that she was broadcasting to an audience; what was with these influencer types anyways? When the woman opened her mouth to speak, Corala did the right thing and let Adrian get the first word in; he seemed to be the social butterfly, and she would play the stringent wealthy house wife. As the woman chuckled along to his comment, Corala threw a passing remark as she moved past the woman. "What my dear Adrian is saying, is that you can't buy looks this good." Giving an arrogant smirk, Corala could see the woman give a perplexed look, but it was done. Her cybernetics looked about, trying to find their target, but the crowds of people were causing havoc with her face recognition software, but at least they had gotten past the red carpet. "I can't find the target. All these people are messing with my implants. I suggest we grab a drink and look like a couple until the target arrives." Corala suggested, looking towards a champagne bar, as she was aiming to get Adrian to play along. She couldn't imagine that this was the life for some people, it seemed absolutely insane. "I don't think I could ever get used to this life. It seems so mundane and dull." Corala muttered, as the pair pushed past the crowds of adorned wealthy individuals.

Adrian Valerius

 

[Adrian Valerius]

Ah, this was truly the way to party and the amount of snobs and gossip spreading always made Adrian in a good mood. Listening to Corala pointing out her tech had a problem, just made the tall Jedi Master smirk and shake his head. Holding her chin with his index finger and thumb, forming one of his very charming smiles, he looked at her as if she was his one true love and that she was the only one that mattered. "My dear, we're at a party, let's enjoy ourself" commented Adrian, tipping Corala's face up a bit so they looked at each other.

Caressing Corala's chin a bit, looking at her with endearing eyes, but, when she suggested grabbing a drink, prompting Adrian to let go and follow his wife to the bar. Stopping by the bar, they were greeted by a protocol droid or one that had been redesigned to a bartender at least. "I'll take a Bespin Fizz, that sounds exciting. And my darling wife looks like she could use something strong, I think a Jedi Mind Trick would do it" ordered Adrian as he sat down on the barstool beside Corala, placing a lower arm over the other. Jedi Mind Trick contained Grapefruit and rose vodka, falernum, blue curaçao, white grape juice, lime juice and grapefruit bitters. While the Bespin Fizz, contained Rum, yuzu purée, pomegranate juice, white cranberry juice, and cloud swirl.

The dance area seemed in full swing and whether Corala knew about it or not, Adrian had plans for them to dance. He loved dancing waltz and was always ready to show the rest who owned the dance fall. He hoped Corala knew how to dance, else he would have to teach her on the fly, not the end of the world really.

Ladies and gentlemen in latest fashion mingled and kept on arriving, one trying to outdo the others. And then there was the political blackmailing, backstabbing, slander and hopefully, at least one assassination. Sipping his drink, a sudden voice could be heard not far from where Adrian and Corala sat. A larger man in size, along with a yellow Twi'lek in a very revealing dress while still letting the imagining run while. "Master Valerius! How wonderful to see you at such a fine ball! Truly!" expressed the large man with a wide toothy grin as the two men shook hands.

"Indeed! I've been meaning to call you about that package... But where are my manners, I apologize, let me introduce my every lasting love and better half, my wife, miss Corala Gethsverg" introduced Adrian, taking her hand in his and gave it an ever so gentle kiss on the back. "My Darling wife, this is senator Valaki Von Arcon the third" introduced Adrian, the senator.

Valaki made a big bow in front of Corala, "it's a pleasure to be meeting you Miss Gethsverg. While unexpected to see Master Valerius married, but he clearly found the most beautiful star among stars" expressed Valaki with a thick Naboo accent. "Just keep an eye on this rascal, my lady, he's quite popular with both side of the spectrum, if you know what I mean" laughed the large politician, as he took his leave.

Adrian just shook his head, "silly Valaki, always the bombastic persona" chuckled the Jedi Master.

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

Corala had to admit, Adrian was good at acting. He had to of taken lessons. A touch of color came to her face as the jedi master took her chin in his hand, feeling his hand brush against the synthetic skin and organic skin on her face. Her face twitched with a hint of discomfort, but she did not recoil. The sensation felt off, but then again the damage her body had sustained would never truly heal. Her eyes fixated on Adrian's, smiling ever so slightly despite her reluctance. "You're right darling, forgive me. Just all these people makes me agitated, something a drink would fix quite nicely." The act was at least holding up, and Adrian was relatively easy to play off of.

Moving to the bar, it seemed a droid bartender was given the task of handing out drinks, something that Corala found a bit unusual, but it was probably done as a budget cutting measure. She perked an eyebrow at the jedi masters drink selection, but didn't make a remark. "Interesting choice darling." She would add as the drink was pushed her way, and she finally had a chance to sample it; after scanning it for potential poisons of course. It was a rather tasty concoction, and now Corala had another drink to enjoy on her next assignment like this. Before she could compliment Adrian on his choice, a large man with a Twi'lek escort seemed to recognize Adrian and drew her attention. It took her a moment to realize who was speaking to her husband, but rather than speak up, she merely enjoyed her drink. A chuckle escaped her lips, as she lowered her glass away from her lips as she felt Adrian's lips make contact with the back of her hand. The sensory feedback in her hand must have been set low, as she could hardly feel the sensation, but she responded in kind all the same. "Senator Valaki, a pleasure sir. And here I was thinking my dear Adrian was merely bragging about his connections." She swirled her glass idly, inspecting the attire of the Twi'lek woman, but assumed the woman was merely a concubine for tonight's festivities; given the current appeal of the man before her, that seemed most likely.

She feigned embarrassment at the mans bowing, raising her glass as to hide a portion of her face, though his words caught her interest. Seemed she and Adrian had a few things in common after all. "I will be sure to keep that in mind, enjoy your night Senator." She remarked, taking another sip of her drink, as she waited for the pair to leave before making a comment to Adrian. "That's one word for it. Truth be told, I figured you for the daring type rather than the adventurous sort. Though I can see how the men fancy you as well." Corala's audio sensors picked up on a noticeable yet slight shift in the music selection; there was a shift of several octanes, as the atmospheric music seemed to dissipate. A new song began to play, and it's beat and tone was much more upbeat. Seeing as how they were to be playing a couple for the evening, it seemed an optimal moment to seize their role. Setting her now empty glass on the counter, she turned to Adrian and set her hand over his own. Once again, she could hardly detect the heat of his skin, did she always keep her settings this low? Perhaps she'd up the sensory implants by a level or two on her next instillation. "Shall we dance darling? I would ever so like to do so." She suggested, her eyes seeking out Adrians', hoping that the jedi knew a bit about footwork. Corala's implants would allow her to mimic dancing movements to an extent, but she was certain with Adrian as her guide, they could pull it off.

Following the senator as he left for most likely mingle with other wealthy people at the party, he turned his head when Corala spoke. "Hm?" He asked, locking his with his wife for the evening. A smirk formed, "The galaxy is full of pleasure, why limited it?" replied Adrian with a certain joyful play to his tone. Noticing the change of music and phase in the music tempo, he sipped the last bit of his drink.

With a wide charming smile, he took her hand and guided her towards the dancing floor with a lot of grace in each step. Corala got spun around by Adrian before landing graciously in his arm, arching her back. It all happened within seconds and while she arching her back over his arm, Adrian sensually stroke two fingers down the centre of her upper body without touching, which caused a few looks. With equal grace, Corala was spun up and into Adrian's arms and dancing in a circle like all the other couples.

Dancing with Adrian quickly felt like dancing on air as Adrian was quick to guide the agent the right way. With a whisper as they passed a couple of guards, "three guards, eastern side, lightly arm". Hiding their true intent, made it easy to point out guards, the number of guards and the number of entrances and exits there was to this place for if a chase were to break out.

"My love, how are you faring, are you enjoying yourself?" Asked Adrian suddenly, completely off from their little game of pointing out targets of interests. The question was much more sincere in his voice. "We should do this another time. Truly, how about dinner? My treat" Asked the Jedi Master with his charming yet soothing voice.

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

The sides of her lips curled, thinking back to the last time she had enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh. She closed her eyes, able to still hear the sounds of the vibro-saws as they cut into her, she could hear him telling her all those sweet nothings in the back of her mind. No, absolutely not. Pleasure wasn't worth all it came with. Better be cold and numb than living and in agony. "Because pleasure and pain can sometimes align, and I am not a fan of the later, darling." She replied, finishing off her drink as Adrian's posture shift indicated that they were about to move.

With her hand in his, it was hard not to think back to a time where she enjoyed these things. Truth be told, she shouldn't have been surprised when Adrian spun her around, but she was. A genuine smile was found on her face as she was twirled about faster than her software could make the adjustments. Her heart was pounding, which surprised her truth be told. She tried to keep up with Adrian, but all she could do was mimic his movements, she couldn't match his grace; he was even nice enough to not break their agreement. She was so caught in the moment she had a lapse in her judgement, forgetting the assignment until Adrian mentioned the guards. She snapped out of it, her right eye flipping into infra-red as she attempted to confirm Adrian's statements; they were well founded. "Nice catch." She muttered, trying to hide the blush that spread on the organic side of her face. This would not turn out well.

"I...am faring quite well, darling." She responded, having to gather herself as she continued to scan the area. "That would be...delightful. I shall consider it." She replied, her mind and heart now at odds with each other over what had just occurred. She had to focus on the mission, and dating prospects later. One thing she couldn't deny though, was she did miss the simple things like this. "So, when did you want to crash this party, love?" She asked, a bit of hesitation in her voice as they continued their dance, as Corala had to wonder how much longer this was going to last.

Adrian Valerius

 

[Adrian Valerius]

A warm and charming grin formed when she agreed to at least consider it. Their dancing didn't exactly stop as the music kept playing with a wonderful flow to really get people floating on a sky. "Dearie, why all the rushing. We're at one of the most expensive parties, you're dancing with yours truly and our night has just beyond" with a burst of light laughter as he placed his hands on her hips and lifted her into the air like all the others dancing.

With a leading and gentle hand on her lower back, just above her ass, and his other hand in Corala's hand, he continued to dance with her. The light shining at the dancing floor kept on changing colour and shine artificial holographic stars into the dancing floor and air, giving the sense of dancing among the stars. "Relax a little, worry will only shatter your soft skin and that would be a shame when you're clearly blessed with such exquisite features," referring to her human side of her.

After another couple of minutes of dancing, the song came to an end, which Adrian took Corala's hand with ever so gentle grace and led her away as if she had been the star of the show. No royalty. Another song soon started to play again and people started to dance in pair again. Giving her an arm to grab, he would, ever so sneakily use to force and levitate the drinks over to them and then lead Corala out to a balcony. "I thought a bit of fresh air would do us nicely" explained the Jedi Master and rested his back up against the railing, once they got to the other end of the large balcony.

Facing Corala, Adrian, the ever so gentleman, would bend a bit, giving her his complete attention, before placing one arm over the other, "Tell me about yourself my beautiful wife" he asked with his endless charming smiles.

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

This was a set of jedi mind games. That's all this was. Some ploy to get into her head, rattle around and compromise her from getting her job done. Her attempt to deflect away from the situation only made her more aware of her situation. She might have had a chance of snapping herself free, but then Adrian hoisted her in the air, and she felt her heart take flight; damn jedi and their mind games.

She could feel eyes upon her, and the realization marred her. He had to be saying these things as part of their cover, but there was a sincerity to his steps and his words that told her otherwise. She didn't even realize his hands had slipped so low, and by the time she did, he had struck her with another remark. Her fleshy side gave way to a shade of scarlet this time, though she merely grumbled to herself at his winning attempt to dismantle her mask. Soon this dance would be over, and she would be free from his torments; though she would never admit that he had successfully flattered her.

When the music did finally come to an end, she found herself being whisked out to the balcony by her partner, her mind still grappling with unraveling what game the jedi was playing at, and his motive for feigning interests like this. Initially, she had thought it was just part of the cover, but his recent maneuvers had shown this wasn't the case. She leaned against the railing of the balcony, listing to the musings of the jedi, as she could hear another set of songs being preformed. "Why do you test me Adrian?" She asked, before turning back to face the jedi, only finding him to be holding two drinks in hand. She sighed, looking back to the scenery; but not before taking a drink. "What is there to say Adrian? I had a tragic shuttle accident and now I'm mostly machine." She replied, feeling a touch of irritation at how he was pretending to care. What where these sick jedi mind games that he continued to play?

Adrian Valerius

 

[Adrian Valerius]

Adrian had been enjoying himself immensely, it was just like being home. The dancing, gossipily backstabbing and the deals that will be struck tonight. Then again, that also meant he would have to lay his eyes on his dad and that would just end in an Alderaanian tragedy. With a curious looked mixed with a look of confusion, "test you? My dear, I haven't been testing anyone" replied with his trademarked charming smiles.

Leaning in, giving Corala his full attention while sipping his drink. His smile faded a bit when the agent told him about an accident that made her who she was today because of the accident. "you say this with such hatred, my dear, yet when I close my eyes, I only see your true colours" comment the Jedi Master as he opened his eye's again. Giving a genuine heartfelt smile, "your accident doesn't define you love" explained Adrian with a serious tone as he rose and took Corala's hand in his. "You speak of your cybernetic to be the ending of your road" commented Adrian, taking a step closer, still holding Corala's hand in his between their upper chests.

"Never let your pain define you Corala Gethsverg, remember that," said Adrian with a warm smile, placing his hand on the cybernetic side of her face, stroking the cheek. "True beauty resides in the mind and soul, not only in the flesh" added the Jedi Master, as he planted a soft yet tenderly kiss on her forehead.

Cheers and the slow pace of the song meant that the time was closing in. Glancing beside Corala a bit in the distance, a couple of guards took over from another set of guards when the shift had ended for the others. Looking back to Corala, the charming smile returned, "we really must continue this conversation over dinner dear, but we are needed inside" explained the Jedi Master, holding his arm out for the agent to take.

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

Damn this man. With his attractive features and his flirtatious dialog, who did he think we was? He tried to play coy, or maybe he actually was confused as to what she was saying. Now she was confused. As he flashed her a smile, she could only look away, if she looked at him directly he might win her over then and there. Could have fooled me. She thought, musing on his denials of testing her for a moment when a realization struck her. Adrian hadn't been testing her, had he? He was showing genuine interest in her. And how was she rewarding him? By pitching him a fake story about being a broken woman in a shuttle crash. A sense of confliction tugged within the agent, as she fiddled with her drink, trying to settle on how to respond to the jedi master.

He could see her true colors, could he? Then why was he drawn to her? What was it about being bitter and dedicated to a life of servitude that was so appealing to him? The edge of her lips tensed, threatening to reveal a smile. She hid it behind a drink, though her execution of the manuver lacked finesse. He told her that her accident didn't define her, that she was more than her implants. Her eyes fixated on the hand contact, as a look of concern would be noticed within her expression. "Adrian, I-" She wanted to tell him to stop dotting on her, to just focus on the mission and stop trying to win her over. But she had gone so long without being told these things. She couldn't recall the last time someone called her beautiful. The last time someone saw her face and didn't recoil in horror. The living side of the agent had shown itself, and when he stroked his hand across the cold synthetic skin of her cheek, she couldn't help herself. She caved. A shaky breath drew in through her lips as he set a kiss against her forehead. It would feel lukewarm to his lips, though the smoothness of the skin felt otherworldly. Perhaps they would have words after this meeting. Maybe he would get his way after all.

It took a moment for Corala to compose herself, as she opened her eyes to find the dashing jedi master standing before her. She caught the shift change occurring, and her instinct told her it was time to act. It seemed Adrian had the same idea, as his words mimicked her thoughts. "Perhaps we shall, dear." She replied, feeling the alien tingling sensation coursing through her body. She took his arm, this time out of desire rather than as an act. Arm and arm they would enter the gala event, with a new motivation to accomplish their mission.

Adrian Valerius

 

[Adrian Valerius]

Open entering the gala event, it was as loud and pompously grand with people overselling their own lives as bigger than life itself. However, as much as Adrian wanted to join in on backstabbing and self-important ego, he and his partner had a job to do.

With that, he grabbed gently around the agent's waist and took her hand and went into dance along with all the other dancers. "As much as I would love to enjoy your wonderful company, we have a date with a certain guard by that door" explained Adrian right as they danced by to see the guard and door off to the side.

Dancing away again, Adrian took to opportunity to spin Corala and when held her again, he gave her a smirk, "sorry couldn't resist". "Anyways, I have a plan, how to get past the guard. So just follow my lead" explained the Jedi Master and led Corala away from the dancing floor. With a hand around her waist, he led Corala towards the guard, who instantly raised his hand to stop them.

"I'm sorry, but this area is off limit" explained the guard, standing firm in front of the door. Giving Corala's side a little squeeze, Adrian spoke up, "I'm so sorry my good sir. But I promised my wife here to show her the top of this magnificent mansion!" started Adrian, going over the top with the uptight and snooty tone.

"I'm sorry sir, but orders are orders," said the guard and wouldn't move. "Okay, you listen here my good sir, I am Balvig Von Markov III and I demand you to open this door" scolded Adrian and waved his hand in front of the guard. The guard suddenly changed demeanour and had a very enthralled stare at the two guests. Then he shook his head, of course, how stupid of me, you promised your wife" repeated the guard, and just like that the Jedi and agent stood on the opposite side of the door.

In front of them was a grey corridor with stairs at the end, heading up.

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

This man was frustrating her, but at the same time she didn't mind. Going with what the jedi master suggested, Corala directed her attention to the guards; or at least she had until Adrian threw them into another dance cycle. She gave the man a firm glare, though the flushing of her checks suggested she wasn't all that upset. "You're not sorry one bit." She remarked after having been twirled about, only to find themselves in front of one of the guards.

Initially, she was perplexed at Adrian's decision here, as his sudden pressure to her side prompted a startled shiver from the woman. He was enjoying himself to much. Though it seemed as though there was an obstacle in their way, he managed to remove it with a wave of his hand. Her eyes went from the guard to the smug looking jedi, knowing exactly what he had done. As the man allowed them entry, Corala removed the safety within her left arm, allowing her concealed SR-92 to be fired when she deemed it necessary. She gave Adrian a sly look as they looked to the stairs, knowing he was going to try and be witty once more. "Fair warning, if you try that trick on me, you're not getting that date night." It was a jest, feeling he wouldn't do that regardless of her threat, but she had to fight back somehow. Taking the lead, Corala proceeded up the stairs, only to find another pair of guards atop the stairs guarding what she could only assume was their targets office. Immediately, the two men took a defensive posture, one moving towards the agent. "Ma'am, this is a restricted area, no party guests are allowed here with explicit permission-" The Balmorran woman only smiled, grabbing Adrian's arm and pulling up close. "My husband and I were just having a look around for privacy, we like to partake in our own 'festivities' from time to time." She began to fiddle with her pinky finger on the right hand, arming the knock out darts to be deployed. She took aim as she rubbed her hands against Adrian's arm, her right eye locking on to target the guard furthest in the back.

The man confronting them grew red in the face at her announcement, clearly struggling to find a proper answer to what she was implying; sadly she didn't care what he said.

'Target locked'

She launched the dart into the side of the rear guards neck, sending him to the floor within seconds, and causing his comrade to spin around in alarm. Before he could call for aid, Corala was on him. Her left arm opened up, a small stun baton ejected from her wrist as she drove it right into the man's lower back, sending him to the floor, unconscious from the blow. Seeing as there was little to do now, Corala looked back the the jedi, and gave him a small bow, motioning to the door. "Well my dear, the night is still young. Care to show me a good time?" She mused, withdrawing her weapons back into her body as if it was second nature. As much as she shouldn't have been showing off, she certain loved the thrill that came with it.

Adrian Valerius

The agent was a bit too well versed in subterfuge and seeing her make one blush, knock the second one out with a dart and then knock the first one out, did give Adrian a bemused look. "All this sneaking around, the scandal it would cause. It's not even my birthday" joked Adrian, grinning and took the woman's hand, planting a kiss, "so right you are my love, care for one more dance?" Asked Adrian and placed one hand on her lower back while the other held Corala's hand.

At first, they were just dancing back and forth in the hallway with the two knockout guards, but suddenly the agent would be guided to the door, which opened thank to the force. The man of the hour, still at his desk, looked up both surprised and confused with a blaster pistol in his hand. After a few seconds of confusion, he spoke up, "what's the meaning of this? This is a private office. Leave or I'll call the guards!" threaten the man behind the desk.

Adrian didn't respond, but instead just continued to dance with his lovely partner deeper into the office. However, the moment they danced in a circle and Adrian spun Corala, dropped Adrian the ruse and let go of the spinning Corala. With insane speed, Adrian had with the force, launched the man of the hour hard into the wall behind him and held him up.

With his outreached hand, Adrian relaxing walked over to the desk and looked up at the man, "so terribly sorry of the inconvincible, but we'll need to borrow your holo computer for just a second. Hope you don't mind" explained Adrian, waiting for Corala to get into action and hack the holo computer or whatever it was that she did.

Corala Gethsverg

 

[Corala Gethsverg]

A dance? He had to be joking. Giving the man an amused look, Corala would entertain his unusual request. "You are a strange character Adrian. Fortunately for you, so am I." She had thought he was joking about dancing here and now, but no he was quite serious. Going about the dance, Corala tried to silence the anxieties about how they were a bit on the clock at the moment. While she enjoyed being whirled about and the like, the notion of urgency was at the back of her mind.


Before the dance got too outlandish, the door was opened, and Corala found that the jedi was twirling her about into the man's office. She felt that Adrian had things under control, giving how unimpressed he seemed with the man's outcry. As they went about in a circle, she felt herself be let go, sending her on a spin as Adrian subdued the man threatening them. Coming to a stop on her own power, Corala looked to Adrian and merely shook her head. Seeing that the threat was neutralized, Corala moved past the jedi taking her right middle finger and switching it to a socomp-link and plugging directly into the terminal. "Give me a moment here, I won't be long." She spoke, before triggering the Hydra implant in her brain, directly plugging her into the terminal. After several moments of gathering info and downloading it into her onboard storage device, Corala disconnected from the terminal, taking extra care to disable the silent alarm triggered to the terminal, and pulling away from the desk. She had a bit of a headache, but the work took only a minute of time. "Alright, we are good to go." Looking to the man at Adrian's mercy. "So, what do we do with him?"

Glancing at Corala work, he enjoyed quite view of her features, given that her dress really complimented her beauty. Walking around the desk to stand on the side at Corala, Adrian dropped his hold on the man. With a crash, he landed on the floor and scrambled for his blaster on the floor. Luckily, Adrian was quicker and waved his hand in front of the man's face, "you never saw us in your life"
"I never saw you in my life"
"You will go back to your business"
"I will go back to my business"
"and you had a bit too much to drink"
"and I had a bit too much to drink"

Repeated the man, which followed by him looking very confused by the whole scenario around him. "What the hell has happened here?!" He asked Adrian and Corala, clearly forgotten them completely. "Robbers, we tried to stop them, but they were too strong and got away!" Lied Adrian, but their target ate it fully and rushed out to find guards.

Placing his hand on Corala's back, Adrian led them out of the officer, passed the knocked out guards, passed their target and more guards rushing to their boss's help. Finally getting back into the ball, Adrian continued to lead his "wife" out of the building and away from the place, before somebody could put two and two together.

However, Adrian never rushed Corala needlessly as the walked down the red carpet. Without a word, Adrian walked with Corala arm through his and as they had managed to get halfway there, someone yelled behind them. "bollocks, one of the guards you knocked out are looking for us and brought backup" commented Adrian. Luckily, they haven't been noticed yet as the guard Corala knocked out, led guards to find them.

Not testing their luck, Adrian acted quickly and pushed Corala to the side. The agent suddenly felt a hand on the lower part of her back as well on the back of her head. Before she got to act, she had her legs swept away with a deep, passionate and very sensual kiss from Adrian. And the Jedi Master didn't hold back, oh no, he went all out with their kiss, biting her lips, caressing her back and self-invited his tongue to explore wonderous explosive passion with hers.

The guards ran right by them, only seeing to people in passionate love, and continued to search for people looking like Corala and Adrian. When the coast was clear, Adrian stopped their kissing and pulled apart, "good, it worked." Looking around, seeing an opening, Adrian looked back to Corala. "As much fun this was, let's get out of here" suggested Adrian, waiting for Corala.

Watching Adrian violate the man's mind with the iconic jedi power, Corala felt a bit uncomfortable witnessing it in person. Still, it was an effective trick, she couldn't deny that. Stepping back as the man was let go, confusion took over as he began to ask what was the reason for all this destruction. Adrian jumped to explain, citing robbers as the reason for the mayhem that had occurred; surprising Corala with how fast he made that lie up. Seeing the man take off at the words of Adrian, she had prepared to follow suit, only to find Adrian had the same idea as her. "Well, that wasn't so bad. As nice as this part is, I suggest we leave." Being taken by the arm, the couple made their escape, Corala's mind dancing between making her report, and getting more one on one time with the increasingly attractive jedi.

Having made it outside, Corala had thought they were in the clear, only to be proven wrong yet again. Hearing Adrian's warning, Corala hissed between her teeth, as she only had one more knockout dart on her. "I'd rather not have a shoot out, what do you suggest master jedi?" She asked, glancing to Adrian, only to find herself thrown for a loop. Being shoved to the side and taken hold of, Corala gasped in surprise, before Adrian quickly silenced her with a kiss. She had sworn off passion years ago, ever since the incident with Marcus, she just couldn't bring herself to do it again. This encounter was reminding exactly why that was. The loss of control, the rush of emotions, the rush of lust that took hold. It was all a liability that couldn't be controlled. These were the thoughts of a sane rational Corala of course, not the one currently sucking face with a jedi.

She had a lapse in thought in fact, as Adrian began to pull apart, she soon realized what was occurring. "Oh, right, yes." She nodded, not entirely listening to what Adrian was saying, as she would now pull him along back to the valet rather forcibly, and eagerly leave this party in the speeder they had flown in on. This night was certainly more than she had bargained for.

Glancing around one last time to check if the coast was clear, before he dusted off his clothes. Feeling him being pulled away by Corala, gave the woman a bemused looked and a raised eyebrow, "somebody is in a rush, huh?" quipped the Jedi Master. However, he didn't really mind, since they still weren't out of harm's way with the many guards now running around, trying to find them.

A young man that took care of the guest's vehicles quickly received Corala and Adrian's. "Here you go sir," said the young man with a pleasant smile and gave Adrian the keys. "On behalf of the Valerius family, I thank you good sir" thanked Adrian, as he very gentlemanly, opened the door for his "wife" and went around to get into the driver's seat.

Just as he opened the door, a loud booming voice could be heard a bit from where they were. "Hey! Stop them!" Ordered the head of the security forces, who rushed with stun batons in hand, towards Adrian and Corala. Looking to the young man, Adrian gave him a flirtatious wink and looked back to the 10 security guards running towards them.

"My apologize good men, but sadly I have a date with my wife" explained Adrian loudly and bowed, before getting in and flying away before the guards to get to them.
