Braun could tell, by Alema’s constant self-correction, that she was much more interested in the grandeur of the party than she might have wanted Lieutenant Stoker to believe. Braun found that amusing and figured it was best to let it be. He knew nothing of being a socialite and was very much out of his element here in the ballroom. He was a solider, much like Lt. Drast on the other side of the room, but he also knew that there was an expectation of the Republic and its officers. They had to represent the ideal government of security and the people. “Well then we'll do so gladly,” he responded pleasantly Alema mentioned not wanting to be a monkey-lizard. “Like you’re following me? I’m the trooper here, you’re the one in charge,” He joked without a single drop of irony as she proved him very much correct.
She pulled him by the arm and made their way towards the senator. He clearly had no choice in the matter, and he was okay with that. He appreciated her initiative. Alema’s boldness was certainly one of her admirable qualities. They approached the pair of senators, now walking together in pace as he caught up with her pulling him. He would gently rest his hand on the shoulder of Senator Hawkes, not wanting to scare the man like he had in their first meeting. “Senator? I hope I’m not interrupting?” he would intrude after senator Waszylla had a chance to answer the previous inquiries of Alton Hawkes. “Oh, and senator…Waszylla, it’s wonderful to see you as well” He commented as he had to think to remember the senator’s name. He had personally met Hawkes, but Waszylla he had only seen on holoscreens. “I only wanted to say hello my dear friend,” He would start offering to shake the hand of the respectable senator Hawkes. “and I wanted to introduce you two to my compatriot, Lieutenant Alema Torr” He would offer, moving away so that Alema could take the spotlight and address these great men.
He in this moment caught a glance of a strange box that the senator seemed to be holding. Was it a gift of some kind? Or maybe a bomb? Braun’s warfare scarred mind ran wild with thoughts as he tried to remind himself that this was a simple dinner and not a battlefield. He watched on as Alema was surely going to show off her impressive social skills. She was a Navy officer, and her future could one day be in politics after all. She would certainly have his vote.
