Jayna could grow accustomed to Cinnagar. From her exclusive balcony, the Thorne heiress could see across the Capital City for miles without end - watching the countless speeders that zipped across the evening sky. The horizon glittered with the lights of skyscrapers, commercial buildings and palatial residences that comprised the Core District.
It was a world of difference from the canel-carved streets of Theed, where Jayna had spent much of her upbringing and education and internships. Her move to Empress Teta had been a recent decision - motivated almost entirely by her own ambitions on the planet. The Republic had collapsed upon itself, and it left the door wide open for those seeking the opportunity to make their political debut. It was an arena that the Thorne heiress would need to navigate carefully, without the immediate support that her name provided within the Consortium.
Stepping away from the balcony, Jayna turned her gaze back to the spacious hotel suite. She was dressed in an expensive and business-y black dress, coupled with a gemstone necklace that hung from her neck and a Bonheur clutch tucked under her arm.
Jayna knew the next steps would be.. Difficult. And it was for precisely that reason that the heiress had brought hired help. The reputation of Aska Ryun was legendary across the Galaxy, and the Thorne family were among the few that were able to afford it these days. She could only hope that word-of-mouth accurately reflected what the Mercenary had to offer.
The sound of a buzzer at the door caught Jayna’s attention - prompting the heiress to wave down her protocol droid. “Twelves,” She said simply, gesturing for the servant to answer.
