Perennial Tea Room, Cloud City
Come, let us have some tea and talk about happy things.
The door of Perennial Tea Room opened gently, and the slim form of Marzena Choi stepped over the threshold. While she was not usually one to frequent such an establishment, it did feel like the perfect setting for an afternoon of high class. The celebrity had chosen a conservative dress that covered her arms, and most of her legs, the hem dropping just past her knees. However, the outfit was not boring, for her dress featured a floral pattern and her feet were bedecked with a pair of bright red heels. It was very true that she normally leaned towards outfits that displayed a hint of skin, but it was not always appropriate, especially for daytime gatherings. Slender fingers rose to comb through her glamorous waves of black, and she touched up her lipstick quickly as a waiter came to greet her.
Marzena followed the young man to a secluded table by the hearth, and she gracefully lowered herself down into the seat that he held out for her. The tea room was filled with the sounds of chatter, clinking of cups against saucers, and the fragrant scent of tea leaves. Every table was set neatly, and ready to receive the bounty of Perennial's famed afternoon tea service. The tea room was known for its lavish display of delicate tea sandwiches, pastries, and extremely high quality tea. Of course, Marzena would gladly sip tea, but it would take some heavy persuasion to get her to eat even a bite of the sweets... No matter how lovely they looked.
“Tea for one?”
“For two,” She said to the waiter, "I am expecting Moff [member="Natasi Fortan"]." Marzena watched his expression to make sure that he had understood, and the way his eyes grew wide seemed to confirm that he had heard correctly.
Marzena had approached Ms. Chambers before leaving the Gala Dinner the night previous, and had arranged to meet the Moff for high tea. The two women had met during the Summit, but had little time to speak casually. However, Marzena noticed that during the interactions they did have, that it seemed the Moff was hesitant about talking with her. Natasi had been ever so pleasant and couth, but there seemed to be something that kept the two set apart. She had also heard people talking in hushed voices during the summit, words overheard in passing about Natasi's recent misfortune. Marzena had not heard the full story, but figured that the Moff must have been under a great deal of stress.
And what better remedy was there than a hot cup of tea and a friendly chat?
While she did live up to her reputation as a diva, Marzena was actually far more pleasant than the tabloids made her out to be. Marzena was outgoing, she adored making new friends, and was especially interested to make connections within the First Order.
She crossed her legs daintily and sat back in her chair, enjoying the atmosphere as she waited for Natasi to arrive.
