skin, bone, and arrogance
The black Townespeeder slowed to a stop outside the government plaza in Kuat City. Inside, a pair of pale blue-grey eyes stared up at the elegant spires and a pair of pale pink lips parted to let a sigh escape. She turned to her aide and said, "Let's get this over with. Call the Senator's office and let him know I'm on my way up." The aide nodded and withdrew her communicator before the driver pulled the door open and Avadreia stepped out into the plaza. "I don't expect this to take too long. I'll buzz Karin when I'm done."
"Actually, her name is Romera." Avadreia stared at the driver blankly for several moments. "Your new assistant. Karin is--"
"Tell Karin to expect my message," Avadreia said, squelching further discussion before turning towards the plaza. It was five minutes later that Avadreia was stepping into the office suites set out for the Senator from Kuat. It would all need to be redecorated -- she thought a controlled burn would do it nicely. The assistant looked up. "Avadreia Lacroix for Senator Brunswick. Coat." She stared at the assistant and then closed her eyes and sighed, then shrugged out of her grey fur coat and draped it on the desk.
