Crowds were only the type of thing Koil tended to like when he was trying to use them to go unseen. But in this case he was making an exception. The War Councilor had landed on Tirahnn an hour back knowing there was a charity event. A handful of senators, business moguls, philanthropists and more had come together to organize a new cause to feed the poor and less fortunate. Today was their first official day and so it would have an especially large gathering. There were two reasons Koil had come.
The first reason was because he wanted to surprise Keira Zale. After their last interaction he had continued to think about her every day wondering when they would meet next. So far he had refrained from calling her. Koil was unsure what the appropriate amount of time was and in the end decided to surprise her in person. Hopefully it would not backfire on him.
The Echani knew that this was no longer her planet she represented officially. She was the Acting Chancellor of the Republic as a whole. But she still had strong ties and Koil had said he wanted to see her planet. The Mandalorian had meant it when he had said that.
The second reason was because he knew that Keira liked helping out those in need. She had influence and contacts that could probably help out with his own ideas for a joint charity between both the Republic and the Mandalorians. Even if now was a bad time for personal interaction at least he had the feeling she would be open to hearing his idea. Keira struck him as the type of person who was always willing to helping those in need.
Today he was not wearing much in the way of weaponry or equipment. At least by his standards he was not armed as heavily. Koil was still wearing his beskar'gam but was carrying less than when he had fought Darth Victress. Shab, people might recognize me. SHAB, Keira had probably seen that. his feet carried him towards the soup kitchen where the main event was taking place even as he tried to start thinking of what the Acting Chancellor of the Republic might think of him after that display.
When he came into the door of the building he knew eyes were already on him. Even if people did not recognize him he was still a Mandalorian. A decorated one if they knew anything about his people's culture. Their looks were ones of surprise, wariness but mostly curiosity it seemed. Too late now. Buck up and find her you di'kut. His visor began scanning the crowd in an effort to find who he was looking for. There were lights up, banners, postings of how people could continue to show their support. It was certainly a humane affair, one Koil could not help feel out of place considering his track record.
