Cloud 9 (Day 11 Late Evening, Three drinks)

Postby Zanebry Varliss » Fri Jul 06, 2018 12:08 pm

Perhaps Z shouldn't be doing so much entertaining on his vessel, though it seemed in a warzone there was often little choice in the matter. His previous guest had left a while ago, which gave him plenty of time to clear away some of the furniture to make a make shift dance floor. It left only one couch, the coffee table and the bar in the room, but plenty of room for a bit of dancing.

He'd changed slight;y from his earlier dress, a fresh shirt and a new tie, in a vivid blue, as well as a jacket, and while not as fancy as he had looked on Jizz night, he was certainly well dressed. Tethys would hopefully being arriving shortly, and M was instructed to open the door for her when she arrived. At the moment Z lingered near the bar, ready to make a couple of drinks to enjoy before the dancing began in earnest. There was no reason to rush the night along after all.

It is indeed an odd position to find oneself in while in the middle of a war zone, on a capital ship that had just been part of a major space battle a few hours ago. Nevertheless, a promise is a promise. Tethys picks her way across the hangar bay more delicately than usual--going around hoses and coils of cable instead of stepping over them--and presents herself at the boarding ramp of the Three Drinks.

The ring of the buzzer brought Zane to the door, a warm smile on his lips as he greeted the woman on the other side. "Good Evening, Tethys." He greeted her, stepping aside so she could enter. "Please, come in."

"A better evening now," she pauses for a moment, brows quirking. "...Zanebry? Have we reached first-name terms at last, then?" Her lips twitch as she steps inside and helps herself off with the loose coat that had mostly covered her costume for the evening--the lace-patterned blue dress and delicate silver shoes are perfectly appropriate, but nevertheless perhaps a bit conspicuous to parade through the corridors and lifts of the Valiant Star. She's managed to find some silver ribbon somewhere to wind through her locs, holding them back from her face in a half-up style.

"I thought we had at our last visit, since you named us comrades in arms, but as my name never passed from your lips, I thought it best I take the initiative." He helped with her coat as she took it off, moving to hang it beside the door.

Afterwards he turned back her way and took a moment to take in the sight of her. "You look amazing Tethys, even better then I thought you would." His eyes went towards hers. "I suppose I should ask what you think of it though? Do you like it?"

"Your taste is more precise than mine," Tethys admits wryly. "It's a beautiful color..." she runs her fingers down a fold of the skirt "...and a lovely cut for dancing. I'm only sorry we can't show it off at a real club as you intended." She shakes her head slightly, amusement passing behind her eyes. "Though I imagine a lightsaber at the hip would coordinate... strangely."

Hers was in one of the capacious inner pockets of her coat, at the moment--it would have been obvious when Z took the garment from her to hang it up.

"I'm glad you like it, I hope you get the chance to wear it again in the future, maybe with another gentleman perhaps?" His smile was warm, as he offered his arm, apparently intent on escorting her inside.

"As for the lightsaber, that's easily solved. tmThere are carriers they make that can strap to your thigh, they more or less hide a saber from sight. Well as long as the hilt isn't too long, or the skirt too short. But with legs as long as yours, it should be fine."

"Huh." Her fingers settle lightly on his arm. "Yes, I imagine that would work. Though in general I've been used to flaunting the lightsaber, not concealing it...." She cocks her head to see his reaction as she adds, "This may surprise you, but when I traveled as a padawan with my Master, of the two of us, I was the one I believe would be described in some circles as the muscle."

"Flaunting a lightsaber certainly has it's uses, though so does concealing. I admit to having a weapon concealed on my person most times." He looked down at her slender fingers on his arm, as the entered the common room. "So when I come across one of those carriers I'll send it your way."

"A lady shouldn't always be the muscle after all. Even if she can pick up and toss around people nearly twice her size."

Her gaze moves steadily around the circuit of the common room as she notes the way the furniture has been rearranged. "Generous," she says, the corner of her mouth turning up again. "Are you aiming to remake my wardrobe completely before you're done?"

"There's a certain satisfaction in that role, as I imagine you know. But you are right, it's not suited for all circumstances."

Zane glanced her way, a playful smile dancing its way onto his lips. "I suppose I could." He parted from her side as they arrived at the couch. "A lady with legs like yours should really show them off more."

As her hand left his, he drifted across the room towards the bar. "Perhaps you have a request tonight?" Z asked before returning to the topic. "There is for some, I've never been too fond of filling that role though."

Tethys frowns just slightly in thought as she considers the bar. "I defer to your expertise...? It's not a language I am particularly well-versed in. I'm sure whatever you are having will suit me fine." Since the order of operations seems to be drinks first, then dancing, she perches on the edge of the couch--minding the skirt of her dress, which is an entirely unexceptionable length but still a bit shorter than she's used to managing. When she wears dresses at all, that is.

"Hm. I realize my enjoying that role from time to time might sound strange for a Jedi. Well... enjoying is not quite the word." She shakes her head slightly. "But sometimes, to avoid violence, it helps a great deal if the other parties recognize an altercation won't end well for them. Stopping a conflict before it begins has the satisfaction of a good move in dejarik, however you achieve it." Lifting her chin to watch Zanebry at the bar, she adds, "Too obvious for you, perhaps."

"If you trust me not to get you drunk, I'll decide." He replied with a playful wink, before mixing up a couple of martinis the way he liked them. Gin, lime, and dry as sin. The length of the skirt was something he had been particular about, too short and it just might embarrass her, too long and it wasn't at all enticing. In his mind, he had struck a good balance.

"Perhaps." He agreed, glancing her way over his shoulder. "I like to move without any chance of altercation at all." Or when a bit of preemptive violence would end things before they started. "Having someone to play muscle is nice though, as you said it's a good way to keep things from escalating."

"If I do detect that you're trying to poison me with concentrated ethanol, I don't have to finish it," she points out, folding her hands in her lap--the picture of composure, though her lips quirk some more.

"That is the difference between your vocation and mine, though. If I follow in my Master's footsteps, I have to talk to people. You... well, I can't say you always keep to the shadows. But you do not strike me as a mediator, either."

"Oh, if I wanted to do that you wouldn't even taste it, Tethys." Z replied with a sly smile as he finished the drinks, one stemmed glass for the each of them. The sly remained on his lips as he walked across the floor and presented her with a glass, his eyes settling on her lips and the slight smile on it. "You really should come to the terms with the fact that you like me more then you ought to."

Stepping in front of her, Zane took a seat at Tethys's side, not to close, but at a slight angle so he could observe her better. "I'd ask when you ever say me slinking around in the shadows, my dear." He teased with a easy smile. "But, I'm not sure I want to know. You're right though, I'm not often a mediator."

"I never said slinking," Tethys defends herself with a modicum of dignity, accepting the glass. "Nor claimed not to like you. Fighting alongside someone against stupidly dangerous odds is a fair indicator of trust, I believe." She begins to bring the glass to her lips, but pauses as another thought occurs. "Well. Provided one survives, that is. But we did."

"And what does one do in the shadows? Kiss?" Zane asked, though he didn't expect a answer really. "And I never said you didn't like me, just you might like me more then you should." He finished playfully.

"But it is, usually, and we did somehow manage to survive." By the skin of their teeth by every indication. "Though I did have to send the majority of a suit to its grave."

"And how much am I supposed to like you, then?" she asks with amused skepticism.

After considering for a moment, she adds, "It's a pity about your suit. Though you seem to have no shortage of them." Her lips curve wryly as she finally tastes the drink. "Hmm. I was prepared to handle it your way by then, but in the end we did it my way after all. You met the sister today, I understand."

"Just a little less then you currently do." He returned with a sly smile, as he brought his drink to his lips. "The gap there will get larger as time goes by."

"Yes, we had a little chat, she is only almost as unreasonable as Eralynn." He shook his head. "As much as I hate to admit it, its likely better we captured her in the long run." He let his eyes drift to the drink. "What do you think?"

"Huh. I can be the judge of that." She holds her glass up for a closer view, appreciating the curl of the fruit peel in the clear liquid. "I like this fine too."

Resting the foot of the glass on her knee again, she tilts her head to look him in the eye. "I know why I think it is better to have taken her prisoner. I am curious why you think so, though."

"It's one on my go to's, I know a lot of fancy drinks, but I tend to prefer things like this." He lifted his glass up so that he could study it. "There is something nice about the classics."

He didn't look away, letting his lighter eyes, search her darker ones. "Well, I imagine my reasons aren't nearly as altruistic as yours." there was a small pause. "She was able to provide me with leads, information. A few things made me Start to think that there was something more to this, to Eralynn and her war. Someone manipulating things. She told me a few things that helped me confirm it."

"Though I still have a ways to go."

"My reasons can be both altruistic and practical. And what you see as altruism has its own practicality, for someone aware of her connection to the living Force." She raises an eyebrow, leaning in slightly. "Manipulating her into all that? Why?"

His lips curled into a wry smile. "Well I'll leave that practicality to you, I'm perfectly happy to not have any awareness of the force." He saw enough of the mess it made of the galaxy.

"To harm the Republic, and the Jedi order. Simple as that, or so I see it. Probably trying to force us to dirty our hands, to compromise our morals, and cause a load of damage among the way."

"Orar Varad is the man I suspect was being it... He seems to like using vulnerable women to further his schemes."

"Hm. I don't know that name." Two vertical frown lines appear between her eyebrows. "Though it sounds as if I should." She shakes her head slightly.

"That's rather subtle, for a Mandalorian. Most of them don't seem to care much for our ethics or lack thereof, only how hard we fight. And even Eralynn wanted us to know it was her behind those proxies--the snipers, the bombs, all of it. What kind of Mandalorian doesn't want credit for the mess he causes?"

"One that's not really a Mandolorian." Z offered in explanation. "And the more I look at the sign's the more they point at the fact that Orar Varad isn't one." He shook his head. "My first instincts are that he is from the empire... The way he works had all the ear marks of a mole. I've got no proof about it though."
