"It's not exactly on the way and a bit early for a refuel, but there's an event I was invited to that, sadly, I simply cannot make."
"An event?"
"The Annual Wine Festival at the Capital. Nothing of terrible importance, but showing up to these events every once in a while does wonders for PR. Besides, it's very likely that the big wigs will be there and to skip an opportunity of forming relation with the Omega Pyre heads - well, you're better off planting the seed early on before the media has a chance to tarnish your image."

Corellia! Corellia, Corellia - how she loved this planet. Amore recalled visits to the Capital very well, she'd been making them since she was 6, but always at the hand of her mother. This night marked her first great voyage alone, and her first public debut without the Kuatian Queen or her handlers to guide her. It was to be a test, perhaps, of all the things she'd learned at Court. Propriety and statesmanship, diplomacy at it's best. Standing now within the entrance of Coronet City's Capital Hall, she looked on in wonder at the mass of people milling below.
"The Lady Mae, Heiress of Kuat," the announcement barely overcame the din of wild chatter below. Amore paused at the banister of the grand staircase, feeling very small.
"Lord Kefka of Honoghr," a second announcement followed by the Master of Ceremonies before she felt the clawed hand of her Noghri Guard on her shoulder. She looked up to him, smiling warmly. He'd been her shadow since she was an infant and she cared for him just as she cared for her own family ... but she had hoped to be at the arm of another tonight. Gideon had always looked so charming in ceremonial uniform.
Yet the Noghri, despite his beastly appearance, looked charming in his own right. So accustomed to seeing him in robes of Kuat's black and red, she was pleased with the result of creams and blues to match her own ensemble. He looked quite stately.
"Just leave the wine to me," she smirked, taking his proffered arm and patting it gently. Kefka eyed her and gave a grimace that only she would recognize as a smile.
