Public [Zinder Event] Lothal's Springtime Festival

[Lady Mysterium]

Perhaps I looked like a garden ornament, for the Master Jedi did not even see me when he had approached where I was standing. Or perhaps due to the fact that I am not a Force Wizard, I am not that easily noticed.

But it is no matter. I bow my head to him all the same in greeting.

And then my attention was returned to the gentleman that seemed to have a keen interest in my mask. I smile behind it after his remark, which I am certain that my eyes express well enough for him to see. It is a remark that I was expecting to come across today. So I was well prepared to answer. "It is not on the itinerary, unfortunately. Although I wish that it was. This is my first time at an event such as this and I figured that the mask could help any anxiety from flourishing. I do find it freeing, actually. I can see why Mandalorians cherish it so.

Have you come to these sort of events often?"

Normally I would of introduced myself, however that is not so easy to do when I am hiding my identity.

Tiber chuckled at the mystery woman's response. "I see. That makes sense- in an event such as this, a mask makes any particular suitor actually look beneath the superficial, and engage genuinely."

He paused.

"If the Mandalorians reached the same conclusion, I have severely underestimated them."

"As for your other question, no- first time to one of these events. I am...attempting to expand my horizons."

Tiber motioned to a table.

"Could I pour you a cup, as you tell me how you came to be here?"

I nod my head in agreement. Having any potential suitor or anyone that I come across judge me not by who I am or what I look like, but by my personality alone. And that in and of itself is a wonderful thing.

It is refreshing to know that I am not the only stranger to these events. I have been under the impression that most of the people that attend these have done so often. Almost as though it was a special kind of club. A Zinder club. But I am not one of those.

"You may." I walk over to the table and have a seat, keeping my posture perfectly straight. I do not speak again until after he has seated himself down. "Expanding one's horizons is a good way of putting it. While I have attended many social-political events in the past, it has never been with any company other than my guards. I had a nightmare not so long ago which was about being a part of one of those date auctions for chairty. And as I stood up on the stage for the guests to start to make their bids; none ever did. I felt so humiliated and horrible that I was so glad to wake up from that dream. Still it's effects lingered on. I came to realize that my lack of connecting with people on a personal level has left me to be like I was in that nightmare; alone and ignored by all. So this is my attempt to change that."
