Private Simple things

Naboo
Theed Square
Summer Festival
Dominique Vexx

What found the young General out here during these festive evenings would be intriguing to some. However what it came down to, he simply enjoyed them. And perhaps he wanted to keep an eye on things. His promotion with the Grand Army was well deserved one, but it also came with many responsibilities. He would take what time he could and enjoy these things that he simply just started to enjoy not even a few months ago. Sibylla always told him that he should relax a little bit, and well have some fun.

We shall see how that turns out.

He had invited Dominique Vexx, a representative from Denon. To be truth she was a great deal of many things. Yet he hadn't fully completely discovered everything about her, as their first meeting was he and the Abrantes house guard escorting her to safety. That was a truly crazy day, but it was good. It was nice to get back into the action, it was a rush that a part of him couldn't deny.

There was a great deal of things to do today. Cassian had arranged a place for her to stay for the night if she wished at Dee'ja Peak. Just a simple formality if that was something she desired. What was his angle, well for starters she handled herself well and she had a great intelligence about her. It didn't help that she was incredibly beautiful, which was something that his mind should've been able to cast aside and just do what he was there to do. But he couldn't deny that he had thought about her often.

It was a casual setting, booths were lined up along the streets. There was a band playing further along down the street past the Theed Square. A place for dancing to happen for those that wished it. And there were tables and chair along the streets. For those to sit and talk about the going ons in the universe.

He stood and awaited for Dominque, with a simple and easy look on his face.

Dominique found choosing an outfit for the evening to be challenging. For both formal and social occasions she enjoyed wearing provocative clothing. Not because she needed 'companionship,' but simply to stand out in a crowd. Unlike a spy or slicer that desperately yearned to go unnoticed, Vexx craved the attention and spotlight. People knew who she was, what she was capable of, and how to reach her. All good things in her line of work. But today's social affair was on Naboo, and there was such as a thing as being garish. It was unlikely anyone else at this Summer Festival was going to stand out half as much as her usual choices.

After a short while, Dominique settled on a more 'conservative' but suggestive number. It should be provocative enough for Naboo at any rate.

CorpSec was, of course, left behind. She doubted they were terribly upset at the ideal. Perturbed, perhaps, their employer was wading into a crowd unprotected, but not so upset at being spared trying to secure a VIP at a festival. They were an effective bunch, but they'd ruin the mood -- for Cassian Abrantes and anyone else.

Which left Dominique wondering as she glided down the street in her heels what the man sought to gain from reaching out to her. He'd been quite effective, himself, in getting her out of that sordid affair. They hadn't exactly been close throughout those events, however. Scarcely knew one another. The man had even recently been promoted -- good for him. Was this just a social outing? Not many people asked her out on those.

The glareshades scanned the faces in the crowd until they eventually highlighted one in particular. Dominique gradually turned in Cassian's direction and continued to 'scan' the crowd as if she hadn't already spotted him.
