((Club Cocora, Deluvia IV))
Watching the pair on the dancefloor—not sure if they were a pair, a pair in the making, or a pair waiting for their stars to align—Thea felt a sudden pang, wishing she'd invited Rix along. They'd done this kind of thing so often back on Palanon; hitting the clubs and bars, drinking and dancing the night away. Close, but not quite a couple, neither sure if that's what the other wanted. She had carefully stowed the bracelet he'd given her in her quarters, not wanting to risk losing it during a night of excess, and felt strangely naked without it.
Kairis: So how did you two meet? Was it aboard the Gorkon?
Avoi: ::She gasped with glee.:: On a transfer shuttle! We hit it off right away, didn’t we Xandria?
Cain: She was so put-together and mannered and… sociable that I figured she must be nobility. No offense, Thea.
No offence taken, and Thea laughed the mere suggestion of it away. Her family would think it a compliment and a testament to their impeccable breeding—that merely being royal was associated with decorum and grace. Maybe not 'sociable', though. That was something they criticised Thea for—they believed an element of distance and aloofness was essential for the royal mystique. Getting too familiar with people disintegrated that.
Avoi: I believe it was called the Akira! It was ever so cramped in there. Hardly designed for comfort! One couldn’t swing a cow, is the saying, isn't it?
Xandria shrugged, and Thea squinted in thought. It didn't sound quite right, but she wasn't exactly an expert on alien flora and fauna. Whatever a cow was, she only knew she'd never seen one.
Cain: It wasn’t the most luxurious of flights, but it had some pretty cool officers on board, so I can’t complain.
Kairis: ::She smiled.:: Good company can make up for a great deal.
Avoi: Response
While Miaxdiso and Thea danced, Xandra frowned at something near the edges of the dance floor. After a moment, she nodded in the direction she was looking. Thea swung her violet gaze in that direction, and saw a tall man with a head of dark curls and an outfit that made him look as though he was a shard of silver. Two people buzzed around him, assistants from the way they all interacted.
Cain: Either of you recognize him?
Kairis: That is Oganis Umibax. ::She grinned at Xandria.:: Perhaps he's the reason they were so selective at the door tonight? He's very well known here on Deluvia.
Cain / Avoi: Response
Thea looked back toward her two companions. Celebrities were common at the club, after all, it staked part of its success on being the place to be seen. The question was why he was so interested in them. Perhaps he saw an opportunity in Miaxdiso, Betazoid diplomat and fashionista. Shared interests and the potential for intergalactic connections? It had to be tempting.
Kairis: With an outfit like that, I'm sure he's here to be seen.
