There was an unspoken rule to being Chancellor: you had to wine and dine the men and women whose vote you needed to pass your agenda. Emil had met many members of the New Republic Senate, but now that he was Chancellor, he needed to get to know them. So, he summoned for Senator Sibyl Lassiter of Brentaal, one of the only senators he didn't know well, to dine with him at one of Coruscant's most luxurious restaurants. He found it was easier to break the ice over a good meal, after all.
It was evening on Coruscant, bathing the dining hall in dark tones, and Emil had selected a booth at the back of the hall to ensure that he and the senator had the utmost privacy. After all, this was not just a social dinner. The Chancellor understood that Senator Lassiter had a great deal of important matters to speak with him about. Matters that concerned her homeworld of Brentaal and his recent efforts to modernize the New Republic Navy.
But before he could ponder what that might be, a server droid appeared at his side. "Your guest has arrived, Your Excellency. Shall we see her to this table?"
"Yes, please," Emil replied. "And bring us both something to drink. Water to start."
The droid bowed and was on its way, and Emil quieted his mind in preparation for the night's work. @LouJoVi
