Wakeelmui was not a proud world, nor a very important one. Situated in the Inner Rim and recently colonized, the planet held little industry that most worlds long already had, and despite its rolling hills and vast forests, it was neither known for its natural beauty unlike Alderaan or Chandrila. Still, its position along the Hydian Way still gave it some taste of galactic traffic, therefore interesting the Republic into involving itself onto the planet and its residents. While its population had not declared itself for the Republic, the Senate was hoping to change that. And not only the Senate, but especially Nicolás Cormond. Given Wakeelmui was a close neighbor to Brentaal on the Hydian Way, he was desperate to leave a trace of his influence on the world and its government.
Unfortunately, the partner the Republic insisted he take with him was none other than Aurora Adasca. Senator of Arkania, a personal rival and an all-around ignoramus, Nicolás was not very pleased with having to negotiate alongside the likes of that woman. He couldn’t stand it. On the whole journey from the Core and to the wayward planet, he refused to even acknowledge her presence, instead keeping to himself in his personal cabin and occasionally peeking out from the cockpit to see how long they had to go. Of course, he knew, there was no escape from her. Nicolás was going to have to confront her eventually. A confrontation that finally came to a head once he woke to the hum of the engines and the ache of the transport as it descended into the planet’s atmosphere.
The Senator groaned. Once he was signaled by one of his personal guards, the man quickly dressed himself up for the occasion. Wrapped in his typically suave outfit shipped straight from Brentaal and with his hair pulled back, Nicolás was more than ready to take on these negotiations. What he was not ready for, however, was how he would deal with the woman bound to badger him every step of the way. Already, he imagined Senator Adasca would allow these proceedings to fail simply to spite him. Of course, he didn’t know the woman long, but the moment the two had met, he instantly knew she meant trouble. And not the eccentric, kinky kind. But a practical thorn in his side.
He stepped from the confines of his room. Slowly but surely, he moved for the transport exit. And needless to say, there was Aurora, standing patiently, waiting for guidance off to the city palace. Not wanting for her to throw in the first word, Nicolás cleared his throat and stepped up to the ramp. “You’re out early, Senator Adasca.” A pause. “Or have you just been waiting here since we left Coruscant?”
