[Niall Organa]

One eyebrow went up. "Surprise you? Goodness." Niall said, his lips twitching with humor. "Not only a date, but a surprising one. The Panteers have high expectations." His Alderaanian accent seemed especially strong at the moment.

His eyes were on hers as he bowed again, one arm folding in front of him. "As an Organa, I shall do my utmost to meet them, milady."

[Lyseil Panteer]

"I am a princess of House Panteer! High expectations are part of the package," she grinned proudly.

Likewise, she returned the gesture and bow as befitting of an Alderaanian. "May the Force be with you, Niall. I should return to my work."

[Niall Organa]

"Indeed. As should I." Niall's smile turned from teasing to affectionate. Not everyone used that particular phrase; he thought it was an affectation of his. Hearing it from her was strangely brightening.

"May the Force be with you, Lyseil. Until next time."

He turned and left, but of course one doesn't walk away from a princess of House Panteer without glancing back at least once. Niall's eyes caught hers as he stepped out the door, his lips quirking. As surprises went, they were certainly off to a pleasant start.
