"Dex makes the best shakes. My favorite is his kaf one. He mixes ground kaffe beans in," Halna advised. Incessant worrying was so not her style, but she was really nervous about this investigator. After all, there were a couple of PIs in this city who were none too pleased with her. She had given several the slip and had even put a blaster bolt through one's leg. That had been disappointing, because she had had to get rid of the blaster and all of it's records so they couldn't match the pattern to her. It had been her favorite blaster...

Lavinia grinned. "I love kaffe!" She signaled the waitress again, apologizing and changing her order. "There, now you're going to have me hooked on these shakes! Does Dex do take-out?" Abiran fidgeted beside her, his hand inching nervously toward the concealed blaster. "It's past time, Fema. I don't think your friend is going to show." She waved a dismissive hand. "We can wait a few more minutes. Maybe the traffic is bad." He shook his head, but didn't say anything.

"Oh, kreth, me too. I practically live on kaf most days," Halna agreed, "Yeah, he does take-out. There's a fly-through around the back." She listened to Abiran complaining about their apparent no-show PI. She wondered what had held them up. Had it really only been traffic?

"Oh good!" Lavinia grinned. "Abiran, remember where this place is. I'll probably be taking advantage of that." The shake arrived, and Lavinia thanked the waitress and took a deep drink of kaf-flavored shake. She closed her eyes in sheer pleasure. "Mmmm, that's wonderful. You should write a feature on the little-known but not-to-be-missed delicacies of the CoCo district."

Danny laughed. "Who, Halna? Are you kidding? She can't spell if her life depends on it." Halna punched his arm. He chuckled and rubbed it. "Ow." He punched her in return. She kicked his shin. She chose to ignore how childish they were being and glanced at the doorway, hoping to notice the PI before anyone else did.

Lavinia smiled and swallowed her mouthful of shake. "Neither can I! It's amazing what a spelling checker on your notepad can do. I know I couldn't live without mine." She took another long sip. "But seriously, what other diamonds in the rough are hiding out here? I know I already have to introduce my friend Ann to these shakes!"

Halna nodded in agreement. "The doctors always know when it's my day to do paperwork. They can hardly understand a word of it!" She leaned forward and put her hand over Lavinia's. "So, this PI of yours. Is he from around here? Or from off world?" she whispered, her curiousity getting the better of her. Danny poked her in the ribs for her abruptness, knowing the social etiquette of the senator's class like the back of his hand, but she ignored him.
OOC: I don't know if you want to use this, but you can if you want to: I have a character named "Lané Panal" on the Realm of Naboo RPG. She's a florist/private investigator, from Theed, Naboo, although she doesn't have her degree yet. It's totally up to you! I just thought I'd mention it.

Lavinia frowned. "I'm not sure," she whispered back. "I haven't actually met him yet, but my friend recommended- well, to tell the truth, I'm not entirely sure it's a him at all. But Padmé says that he or she is quite discreet and trustworthy."
OOC: Florist/PI? Awesome XD Sure! That would be great. I've been putting it off because I had no real idea of what I was going to do.

"Padmé?" Halna inquired. "Senator Amidala," Danny answered her; she nodded, understanding. "I see," Halna bit her lip, thinking. If Senator Amidala had suggested this mystery person to Lavinia, it was most likely they were either from Coruscant or Naboo. She hoped they were from Naboo, because she had never been there. Which meant it was highly unlikely that she'd ever wounded them in any way - pride or physical.
OOC: Great! I'll be sure to bring her into it quickly. Yeah, I know, the florist/PI thing is a little odd, but it really makes perfect sense when you read my whole application on Realm of Naboo!

Abiran shifted uncomfortably. Lavinia poked him in the ribs before addressing Danny. "So you've penetrated my clever disguise, have you? I did think the veil would do it... I hate it when you're right!" she burst out, facing Abiran. He shrugged unconcernedly. "I did warn you it was a ridiculous idea." "That was why it would work! Nobody would ever believe that I would be dressed like this in a place like this!" Lavinia hissed at him. She frowned petulantly and took a long drink of her shake. "Not that there's anything wrong with this place..." she added lamely, aware of how she must have sounded. Snobbish and spoiled, like so many of the girls her age back on Cularin.
OOC: Great. I'd love to read about her, can you post the link to Realm of Naboo?

Halna pursed her lips, knowing inside that Lavinia hadn't meant her comment the way it had sounded, yet wanting to find something to despise about her. Danny's brow knit together, obviously feeling the same way. He had grown up around senators and politicians and knew the way they claimed you were "practically family" and then stabbed you in the back when it meant something for them. Yet there was something distinctly uncorrupt and likeable about this senator from Cularin. He shrugged. "Truth be told it wasn't you I recognized first," he gestured to Abiran, "It was your pilot here." OOC: Here it is. realmofnaboo.proboards104.com

Lavinia raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?" she said, glancing at Abiran, who coughed and shifted uncomfortably. That definitely meant that there was an interesting story there, but now was probably not the best time to ask him about it. "But I really am sorry," she continued contritely. "I didn't mean for it to come out like that."
OOC: Thanks! Lané sounds exactly the sort of person Lavinia would choose to work for her. Whenever you're ready...

Halna raised an eyebrow at Danny, wondering how he knew Abiran. She was sure there was an interesting story there, and made a mental note to badger him about it later. Suddenly she noticed a young blonde walk in. She had a certain... sophisticated roughness about her, if that made any sense? Halna wondered if this was Lavinia's mysterious PI. She had that Naboo look in her face. That intelligent spark in her eyes and impeccable taste that always belied those of the planet. She watched the woman walk across the room to the counter and sit down on one of the stools. She ordered a sandwich and looked around the room, seeming to scout the place out.

Abiran turned suddenly to look toward the door. Lavinia gave him a curious look. "If that's not your PI, I'll eat my spanner," he murmured, tilting his head slightly toward a young blonde woman sitting at the counter. Lavinia followed his gaze. "Really? She doesn't look like one." Abiran raised an eyebrow. "Looks aren't everything. See that bulge in her jacket? It's not any high fashion accessory, I'll wager."

Halna raised an eyebrow. She liked Abiran; he was smart. Not many people would have noticed that "bulge" as he called it, as it was hardly more than a bump. She only noticed it herself because she had been noticing these things for years. It's what kept her alive. "Are you going to go talk to her?" she stared at Lavinia purposefully. Here was the moment of truth. If she went to talk to the mysterious woman, she was just another flighty senator pretending to have something other than glittering credits in her mind. But if she thought it out and watched the blonde before deciding her course of action, she was a good person to know... Especially for a leader like Halna...
