Ask Best Suited for the Task

[Billie Bonheur]

Billie had finished her preparations for her upcoming runway, which meant back to business for her. She'd received several requests and had finally settled on a few to pursue. The first of those was Governor Flauki Ubbeson of Vendaxa. She hadn't particularly felt like traveling all the way out to Vendaxa, nor did she think he felt like making his way to Coruscant. So the woman had scheduled a holocall for his consultation.

When the time came, Billie settled down on her couch and rang the governor. She sat back on the sofa, her legs crossed and a glass of wine in one of her hands while she waited. Her butler, Cara, could be seen moving in and out of the background at random intervals. When he finally accepted, she would lean forward to greet him. "Thank you for contacting me, governor." She had a quiet way of speaking. "First things first, my assistant, Aliss, will send for your measurements and payment shortly after we conclude tonight. But that is all we shall speak of that, tonight." Billie set her wine glass down and folded her hands in her lap. "Now, governor, tell me: what exactly are you looking for?"

"Yes Margery, I will be there for the family dinner, just give me a few moments I am going to be speaking with someone of great importance, and I don't want to mess this up. I promise I will make it."

"Okay, just don't take too long. Mother would be upset."

With a grin he would nod to his sister and let them walk away. He was preparing for a family dinner to celebrate his deal with the ISC. The people of Vendaxa are now under ISC protection and are guaranteed a vaccine once it's made. The Governor of Vendaxa was proud of this accomplishment and wanted to spend time with the family. But first he had a quick business to tend to with a certain designer.

The holo popped up and the designer Billie Bonheur appeared before him. Her greeting came and then informed him of the measurements being done later. For now she only wanted to know what he was looking for to be done. Had HE even known? So many things he could ask for. Though he did want her to add her own flare to it. With her skills being on display within his clothing, he could boost both of their status's.

"Yes of course. As for what I would be looking for I would say something that shows that I am a man of the people, then again something along the lines of just a good sense of style. I do apologize I am not up to date with the fashion of the people these days. I do hope to look as good as you promise."

He stood with both hands behind his back as if in an 'At Ease' position in the military. His smile genuine and his aura charming, though he was used to acting this way around those who are not familiar with how he runs things.

It was not uncommon for her clients to have only a vague sense of what they wanted, but usually it was something. Flauki's idea was certainly vague; he wanted something that would show him as a man of the people, but a stylish man of the people. To Billie, that meant something with a traditional structure, with perhaps some embroidering to spice it up a bit. A tailored suit would fit his description.

"A man of the people wishes to imitate those he represents," Billie would begin. She would reach out to her holoscreen, pulling out images so that both him and herself could view them. Various styles of men's formal wear appeared. One by one they were filtered out until only various images of suits remained, pulled from the holonet. "The suit is a classic. It can be embroidered with symbols, made with patterned fabric, pleated, and so much more." Billie would remove the images from the screen once he got the idea. "If that is the direction you wish to go, that is?"

[Flauki Ubbeson]

She seemed to have a good general idea as to what Flauki was looking for. Which was very good, because the idea he had was in fact vague, but that's what these meetings are for. Figuring out what is the next step and then becoming much more precise in the options being laid down. A sometimes slow process, but sometimes the designer gets on the same page, and that just makes everything so much easier for the customer.

"I do believe that would work quite well. Please do let your expertise shine through, after all this is your work."

Flauki fixed his tie and took a drink of a nearby glass and then returned his attention to the woman on the holoscreen. He had time until he needed to leave, so this meeting still had the life it needed. The suit he was feeling will pop up soon enough.

"A traditional suit it is, then." Billie would pause to accept a cup from someone just out of frame and take a sip before she continued. "Is there any pattern traditional to your people? Anything you simply like yourself?" She would need at least a little input from the governor, if even the slightest. He seemed like the sort to like something to make him stand out, so she honestly expected him to present her with a pattern of sorts. Floral might be nice, if its bold enough.

"How do you feel about placing wildlife on your suits? I do have an idea for Acklay to be placed on the back of the suit, or if you prefer doing flora then we can go with flowers of some sort."

Flauki was just happy to have a tailor that would work with him on what he was looking to have made. Definitely a bonus when it came to getting the job done. This tailor was more than certain to become his go to and favorite out of all options available.

"I trust you to make a good design miss Bonheur."

[Billie Bonheur]

( OOC: No problem! Same here, tbh )

She could certainly stitch an acklay onto the suit, if that was what he wished. Again with the miss, though. She was tickled she looked so young.

"Absolutely." She would respond to his request. "Is there anything else you would like to cover?" It seemed he was really giving her loose reigns on this situation. Fine with her.

Smiling, the Governor of Vendaxa would look to the holo and shake his head lightly. He did appreciate the meeting over his custom suit, and would love to meet with the woman at some point.

"That should cover Ms. Bonheur. Thank you for your time, I know how busy you must get."

Flauki would look over to his guards and let them prepare for his departure.

"Goodbye, Ms. Bonheur!"

Once the holo would cut out Flauki would take a deep breath and begin to walk out losing part of his smile.

"Okay let's get this dinner over with shall we?"
