Krass looked the man over as he talked. Oturo cut a tall lanky figure of a man. Clearly intellectual and analytical, he was quite the contrast to most of the elaborate and slow witted people in the room.The Senator cut an interesting figure given the party like surroundings, and was clearly comfortable surrounded by the elite of his world. After all, one did not get to such lofty heights without friends, he mused as he considered the Senator. Oturo has done his fair share of research on the man before him, for indeed a large amount of the mans views had been aired publicly in his long political career. They did not share every opinion, but their mutual respect for the business world was a unifying factor.
It was one that was really all that interested Oturo today - and when it came to politics, most days - and he responded to the Senators question with rehearsed politeness. ''Indeed Senator Krass, my flight was confortable - and the Gala exceeded by expectations.'' It was an obvious lie, and the Senator would no doubt notice it, for Oturo was not a man to be easily impressed by baubles, and Galas clearly where not his scene. Once again however, it would most likely not matter - for the politician would understand the need for formalities.
Walking further into the Gala, he commented on the history and the current situation of the Planet the Senator represented ''Correllia has come far in these past decades, a veritable titan of industry now. Something which has attracted the interest of the Company, and indeed many others. Infrastructure of course, is vital to such a planet.'' he paused, careful as to how he phrased his next sentence ''What sort of infrastructure levels does this planet boast?'' he inquired, probing the mans willingness to hear about the Company's MagLev Projects.
How dreadful. Krass thought. The majority of my echelon is as slow witted as a bantha.
Oturo, clearly, was a different bread entirely, however. He nodded along as the man spoke,
"I am glad to hear such!" Krass said, "Such a wonderful cause as well. Manufacturing has always had a special place in my heart. It was my late father's life work to build the manufacturing sector. I just merely refined his hard work."
They walked farther into the Gala and continued their conversation. Krass was briefly aware of someone on the outskirts of his space, clearly waiting for some time with the Senator. Aren flashed the waiting man a smile, as if telling him he would get to him as soon as he could.
"Indeed it has. The strides we've taken make me all the more proud to represent her on Chandrilla." He clasped his hands behind his back he continued, "As far as infrastructure, I like to think that is a work in progress. Of course our infrastructure doesn't hold a glowrod to that of Coruscant, but we are getting there. Corellian Air Control has the skies locked down rather well, and we are looking into means of mass public transit, but have no implementations as of yet. Coronet is currently serviced by hoverbusses."
