Making videos to go along with her music was not Tiaza's favorite thing to do. Truth be told recording a new album wasn't at the top either. She loved to sing. And even though her biggest love still lies in opera, Tiaza was getting much happier with the pop music that had gained her more fame, but writing and singing live was much better than being in a studio and dealing with the constant stops and starts. And dancing and acting behind her music to make a video to "sell" her songs was even worse. She wasn't that outgoing.

The scene that was currently being shot had Tiaza lounging on a piano in the ballroom as if she were giving a show to the people assembled. These were the worst scenes for Tiaza. When she started her pop career, she convinced directors to allow her to actually sing during the shooting. It helped to keep her focused and made the shoot at least somewhat worthwhile. As her fame grew the shots had to be perfect and the image took precedence over the music. So, she pretended to sing as the cameras took in the show.

The current director was more annoying than most. And the day had gone on and on. The scene wasn't close to meeting the director's standards, but Tiaza was at her wit's end. When the director called to cut, Tiaza knew that he would have some sort of critique. She sighed and laid flat on the piano, head resting on her hands. As she did so her red eyes caught a very welcome sight. "Lal!" she called out after seeing her best friend and occasional bodyguard.

Tiaza jumped off the piano. "We're going to take a break. Or wrap for the day. We'll see which in a moment," she instructed the director. Tiaza knew she would catch chit for that from Sap sooner than she would like. "The director says when we start and stop Vletti'azan'uosus" her manager would say. "Otherwise we're wasting credits". At this moment Tiaza could care less about the credits. She ran and launched herself at Hilal wrapping her arms around the small Mandalorian bounty hunter. "I'm so glad you are here. Let's go talk somewhere. They can wait for me. I'm the star," the last was said in the most goofy tone that it was obvious Tiaza was not bragging.

Hilal had been so busy with Bounty Hunting that she didn't see her friends in a while. For a woman who always yearned for friendship, Hilal mentally beat herself up for being such a terrible friend. Mandalorian glory shouldn't supersede hanging out with close friends every now and then. Once she finished fulfilling her contract, Hilal headed to Hosnian Prime to meet with Vletti'azan'uosus who was recording a music holovideo. She was growing in stardom lately, releasing a couple of singles that went viral. Tiaza was the first-person Hilal befriended and she was supposed to be her bodyguard. Maybe Hilal can be one again just so she can closer to Tiaza. The Chiss Singer taught Hilal everything what it meant to be a woman.

Showing the guards the pass that Tiaza gave her, Hilal entered the set where Tiaza was laying on top of the piano singing her singing. A smile curled on Hilal's lips. Tiaza was in her element, beautiful, graceful, with a voice that could soothe the soul of even the most battle hardened verds. It definitely soothed Hilal's that's for sure. When she finished, Tiaza immediately recognized Hilal and gave her a big hug. "I missed you so much Tiaza!" Hilal smiled wrapping her arms around Tiaza's slim waist. "I'm sooooo happy that you've become a viral sensation!"

The two ladies left despite the director anxiously telling Tiaza that they were wasting credits. Hilal led Tiaza to backstage as she gave her another hug. "How are you Tiaza?" Hilal smiled. "Good I hope? Because I listened to your last song and it was amazing! I didn't know you were a lounge singer as well!"

As Hilal led the way after leaving the set, Tiaza grinned. She bet that the Mandalorian bounty hunter/bodyguard had scoped the place out before she went in to meet with Tiaza. Hilal probably knew the closest safest place. Not that Tiaza necessarily intended to stay close by. They had the whole night and the whole planet as far as Tiaza was concerned. She didn't need to worry about informing security. Sap was the one who hired Hilal in the first place. He couldn't say that the young Mandalorian wasn't qualified now.

When they reached Hilal's safe place, the brown-haired girl stopped and hugged Tiaza again. The Chiss singer giggled and squeezed Hilal tightly. Tiaza was always surrounded by people, but no one compared to Hilal and Sorr Kortu when it came to really making Tiaza beam and they were the only ones who could make her forget about music for any amount of time. Tiaza had been working so much that she hadn't seen enough of either her best friend or her boyfriend. She was so happy to see either one that they were going to get lost on Honsian Prime tonight.

"I missed you too Lal!" Tiaza exclaimed when the second hug ended. Her voice was lower in volume to hopefully keep their moment private for now. The excitement however was very evident. "I've been doing well. Sometimes I forget just how much I miss you when I am working though. Sap keeps me on such a schedule. Then you or Sorr visit and I realize that I've been missing out…" her words came out fast, but that was not something new. She was sure that Hilal would be able to understand them. "What is a lounge singer exactly? I sing opera and I sing pop, put me in a lounge and I guess I'm a lounge singer. This all just for show though…I think. I'm glad you liked my song. I'm getting better at writing pop stuff lately. Still like the slower acoustic songs most though."

Tiaza took a step back and looked over her friend. "How are you doing? You look great. Super outfit! If this video was a dance video I would say you should get in with the crew," Tiaza giggled again. Hilal was quite fit and in battle there was nothing as pretty as watching her fight. But Tiaza didn't know how that translated to dancing. "Who have you been hanging around lately?" Tiaza asked leadingly with a wink making it obvious she was digging about any romantic entanglements.

“It’s funny,” Hilal giggled closing the door behind them. “When we first met, I always thought that you were a pop singer. I never knew that you were a lounge singers as well. Serves me right for not doing proper research!”

Tiaza was an insanely talented singer. Hilal had the singing skills of a cat dragging his nails on the chalkboard while whining as loud as he can. She was more fit to be a Forgemaster and a Mandalorian warrior. “Thanks!” Hilal replied when Tiaza complimented her outfit. “I even had my hair dyed. Figured I got with a different look at least for now! Don’t want to dye my hair too much though! I don’t want to go bald by the time I’m 20!”

Hilal shrugged. “I’ve been by myself lately.” She said. “Been wanting to do Zinder but haven’t had much time.”

Tiaza gave a giggle as Hilal admitted to putting her singing in a single genre. "You're far from the first to think I only sing like on my albums, Lal. I got my start in much more classic music. The Chiss in me I guess. When others heard my voice, saw my looks and age they nudged me towards more of a pop sound. The lounge is just for show, but I do wonder now what some of my songs might sound like in crooner/lounge style now…And don't worry about doing research. I doubt there is much of my classical work that can be found."

Tiaza grinned and nodded when Hilal mentioned her hair was different as well. "Your hair looks super cute too! I'll ask around. Even though Sap wants my look to stay exactly the same all the time, I know cosmetics folks. Maybe there is a way to color your hair without damaging it…I'm jealous that you get to express yourself however you want. No public image to uphold."

Tiaza frowned when Hilal said that she had been alone. The Chiss singer shook her head and moved in to give another big hug to her Mandalorian friend. "Oh girl no Zinder! I have heard stories that it works but…It is so much better when it happens organically. I am sure even if you're alone you've got a bunch of…" Tiaza's pause was not for affect at this point. She gave a nervous smile and her cheeks turned reddish purple. "Would you want a girl or a boy? I know you can find one either way. But there was the Mirialan boy when you were learning to flirt. And of course there was Hex…You keeping your options open to the whole galaxy?" she giggled and gave Hilal a wink.

"Thanks," Hilal felt her ears redden when Tiaza complimented her hair. Over the years, Hilal was always taunted by her fellow Mandalorians that she was just as threatening as a womp rat especially in contrast to the warrior like stature that her people possessed. But people like Vletti'azan'uosus helped Hilal become more comfortable with herself. It did help that Hilal eventually proved to her people that she was a warrior worthy of the mantle of a Mandalorian warrior and became the youngest Forgemaster in history. Though she wondered if such a title would carry weight with the Mandalorian Empire since the Enclave collapsed.

"I've been trying to experiment lately." Hilal shrugged. "I just picked blue out of a hat..... Literally. D.V.A put the colors from a hat I scavenged and I randomly picked from there."

It didn't look too bad all things considered, but Hilal wanted to go back to her natural brunette. "I'm more than aware about the dangers of Zinder Tiaza," Hilal chuckled. "I've done many Bounties where I had to kill or capture stalkers ya know? You just need to keep any personal information private, go out in public places and always tell a friend you plans."

The Mandalorian sighed reminded of the boy she tried to flirt with. She still wasn't very good at it even after being in a relationship with Hex . "I......." Hilal threw her hands up in embarrassment. "Have no preference Tiaza. Boy, girl, who they like or dislike. I don't care..... If I'm attracted to them, I'm attracted I guess."

She looked up at Tiaza. "Why?" Hilal asked. "Don't tell me you set me up on a date? I'm not looking at the moment. I have things to do......"

Hilal gulped. "I'm heading to the Mandalorian Empire," she explained. "I've been offered a position to be a Supercommando and we'll be facing Sith soon. So I gotta prepare."

Tiaza smiled when Hilal thanked her for her praise. Tiaza sometimes wondered if the Mandalorian knew how drop dead cute she was. Perhaps Hilal ignored it because when she was growing up with her people being petite and cute was a detriment and not a good thing. Now that she was an adult and made a name for herself, was Hilal unable to recognize that she was still stunningly cute?

Tiaza blinked in disbelief when Hilal said she had changed the color of hair with a random pick from a hat. "I'm jealous," Tiaza had to admit. The idea of having such freedom was completely foreign to the Chiss singer, and something that she would love to try. "I would love to try new things with my appearance. Sometimes I get to wear different clothes when I'm with Sorr, but hair and makeup. It's all the same." Tiaza paused for a moment and then her mouth gaped open and she laughed. "You know what would be awesome!?!? A tattoo!! Somewhere hidden of course."

"I would not warn you about the dangers of Zinder. You're my big protector. You can take care of yourself," Tiaza said with a giggle. "I meant that isn't a very good way to find a mate. One fun night maybe, if that's what you want. But you'll be happier if you meet someone naturally. I just can't believe they aren't jumping into your lap."

Tiaza frowned with Hilal's reaction to the question of her sexuality. It was not Tiaza's intention to pass judgement. "Staying open minded is good. I got lucky when I found Sorr…or did he find me?" Tiaza shrugged them moved closer to give a comforting hug. "I have to admit, I kinda wondered what it would be like to kiss you once or twice…it's silly now, but when I was open to possibilities…I thought maybe you might be one. So you wait for the right one, and don't let anyone tell you who you choose is wrong."

Hilal wasn't focusing on her love life. Tiaza didn't know if that was good or bad, but she wasn't going to give Hilal advice. Their lives were very different. And Tiaza had a boyfriend she hardly saw because their jobs went in different directions. Was she anyone to say Hilal was doing it wrong? "I'd have no trouble finding you a date if you ever wanted me to, but I wasn't going to do with without you making the request. Work is good. I wish you wouldn't make fighting your work, but at least the Mandalorian Empire doesn't seem to be stirring up as much trouble as older groups were. So…no dates…what should we do?"

"Oh come on Tiaza!" Hilal exclaimed scanning her tight red outfit with a small squee. "Your outfit is soo beautiful! I love the way it emphasizes your curves and exposes just enough of your chest!"

Hilal remembered being taken aback when she first met Tiaza. She looked like something out of a fairy tale everything about Tiaza was immaculate. She was lovely but at the same time frail and needed to be protected at all costs. Hilal made sure that nobody touched her when she served as her bodyguard. "I don't know....." Hilal said planting her hands on her hips. "You have perfect skin do you really want it tainted with a tattoo? What would Sorr say?"

She hadn't met Sorr personally but Tiaza would always gush over him saying that she was the perfect boyfriend. If Tiaza liked him, then Hilal did as well though a part of her was wary of Sorr would not hesitate to beat the chit out of him if he treated her wrong. "Funny," Hilal said her face red. "When I met you, part of me wanted to kiss you Tiaza and ask you out on a date..... but life can be unpredictable I suppose."

She wondered what could've been if she dated Tiaza? Hilal was naive back then and Tiaza had that air of maturity. She still possesses that now but Hilal didn't want to interfere with her and Sorr. "It's who I am Tiaza," Hilal shrugged. "The Mandalorians are my people and I have to answer the call always. But we can go for a ladies night out!"
