The Star Wars Iconic Characters and the Lords of the Expanse: Hunting Grounds...

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

Sia-Lan manages to eat quite a bit, her eyes watering, her nose sniffling from the green paste, but she looks absolutely happy. Blue eyes bluer when wet with tears, nose redder from the sniffling, and every few minutes trying to gulp down as much water as she can...yes the Jedi was quite happy.

"Balls and banquets? Sounds like your style, Arani." Wiping a wet eye with the back of her hand, she sniffles a little and then smiles at her friend. "I'm sure you can find a great escort, too. We've got plenty of contenders right here at this very table!"

 

[Arani Korden]

"Balls and banquets? Sounds like your style, Arani." Wiping a wet eye with the back of her hand, she sniffles a little and then smiles at her friend. "I'm sure you can find a great escort, too. We've got plenty of contenders right here at this very table!"

Arani immediately glances at Dorn, then raises a single eyebrow.

"That's a good point, actually. Deel, what's the protocol here? Are we supposed to show up already paired off, or am I expected to search for a suitably noble potential husband while I'm there?"

She can't help but glance at Dorn again. Blushing faintly, she continues.

"For that matter, what's the Jedi policy in these situations? Is dancing allowed, or does it lead to attachment?"

 

[Valara]

Valara grins happily at deals confirmation of the hunt. She couldn't wait, not that being around Sia, Arani, Set, and the others, but she missed hunting with zheev, feeling the force within and without, it never failed to set her pulse racing. Even just thinking about a hunt was enough to quicken her pulse, and tense her trim athletic body.

And it wont just be any hunt, she thought her grin breaking into a full smile as she looks at Set, It will be a chance to hunt with Set, to show him that I am worthy, of him, and to be a jedi. It will show them all. She mused to herself, her eyes taking on a twinkle that they hadn't had since they had left the familiar jungle. Something brought her up short though.

"You, my dear, and anyone who wishes to join you, are to attend the annual Vor-Cal. A banquet, a ball, and a day of big game hunting."

Her eyes widened in shock and dismay at the thought of a banquet and dancing, she remembered full well what those dresses and gowns had looked like, there was no way that anyone was going to force her into one, especially not if it meant she couldn't hunt. But she had the feeling that it might not be optional. As Arani had said before, some people put great importance on that type of clothes.

"Will...will we all have to wear g-gowns and dresses?" she asks in dismay, her tongue stumbling over the distasteful word. She gave Arani an imploring look. "And what do you mean about it being bad for Jedi to feel attached?" She asked confused looking from one Jedi to the next. From the fragment of the code that she knew, it was ok, you were just not to act from it, she ran over the fragment thats she knew again in her mind wondering if she had made a mistake with her feelings about Set and the others:

There is no Emotion; There is Peace
There is no Ignorance; There is Knowledge
There is no Passion; There is Serenity
There is no Death; There is the force

 

[Dorn Tavers]

Arani immediately glances at Dorn, then raises a single eyebrow.

"That's a good point, actually. Deel, what's the protocol here? Are we supposed to show up already paired off, or am I expected to search for a suitably noble potential husband while I'm there?"

She can't help but glance at Dorn again. Blushing faintly, she continues.

"For that matter, what's the Jedi policy in these situations? Is dancing allowed, or does it lead to attachment?"

Dorn can't help but smile as he notices Arani glancing at him. Seeing that she has finally forgotten about Kaz, at least for the moment, he decides to make the most of the sudden opportunity, while at the same time trying not to appear transparently eager.

"Don't worry, Arani, I assure you that dancing is allowed, especially in...diplomatic situations like this one. In fact, I would be happy to escort you, if you would like. Given our talent for finding trouble, I think it would be best if you had a friend close during the festivities. Besides, you never know when you might need some help fending off overeager noble potential husbands..."

Dorn directs another warm smile at Arani and takes a bite of his delicious meal, trying to appear casual as he waits for her response. He also pointedly avoids looking Sia's way, knowing that she is probably loving every second of this and will not even attempt to hide it.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Sen will eat lightly and remain quite thoughtout the meal and conversation. A ball? Hmm I wonder if our time would not be better spent training then going to a ball? Well master Yoda always said that I need to get out and see the universe more, and not spend all my time meditating in my room. I guess this might be a good experience. he also smiles at Dorn and Arani, Set and Valara, but after a moment a sad look come over his face and he looks down at his food to cover it Only sadness and heart ache can come to Jedi in such situations that... can never be

 

[Arani Korden]

"Will...will we all have to wear g-gowns and dresses?" she asks in dismay, her tongue stumbling over the distasteful word.

"You, Sia-Lan, and I all will. The men will wear clothing more like what Deel has on now."

Arani studies Valara in the same way that a sculptor would stdy a block of marble.

"I think we may find something for you that will fit into Tapani expectations while still not making you feel too uncomfortable."

Turning to Sia-Lan, she adds "Valara has a very exotic look to begin with. If we incorporate that into her gown instead of trying to downplay it . . . I think she'll be stunning."

 

[Arani Korden]

"Don't worry, Arani, I assure you that dancing is allowed, especially in...diplomatic situations like this one. In fact, I would be happy to escort you, if you would like. Given our talent for finding trouble, I think it would be best if you had a friend close during the festivities. Besides, you never know when you might need some help fending off overeager noble potential husbands..."

Dorn directs another warm smile at Arani and takes a bite of his delicious meal, trying to appear casual as he waits for her response. He also pointedly avoids looking Sia's way, knowing that she is probably loving every second of this and will not even attempt to hide it.

With all the dignity the eldest daughter of the Korden family can muster, Arani nods at Dorn. "Thank you, Dorn. I would be happy to have you escort me."

The effect is spoiled somewhat by Arani's rapidly deepening blush, but she pretends not to notice.

 

[Elrick]

Wrong Thread sorry

 

[Set Harth]

The men will wear clothing more like what Deel has on now."

Set perks up upon hearing this. "I think not, We Jedi will wear our robes and sabers, I will not hide who we are. Though new robes would be in order to replace the worn ones we have now.
Set looks to the other Jedi to back him up.

 

[Valara]

"You, Sia-Lan, and I all will. The men will wear clothing more like what Deel has on now."

Valara looked from the Noble to Dorn to Sia-Lan anxiously, trying to find someone to agree with her about the gowns, the gowns that Arani had shown her when she had been shoping on the holocomm had been simply dreadful. They looked like they squeezed you about your middle, left you falling out the top, and barely able to walk with the way they hung, She did not relish the thought and was setting herself up to start to argue with Arani about it when an odd thought struck her.

Set, he said he has eaten fine foods from around the galaxy and I think he has gone to many of these banquets, what if that is the kind of girl he is interested in, one that is more delicate, one that wears gowns like those. she let out a small sigh, the more she thought of it, the more convinced she was, which probably meant she would indeed have to endure one of those dresses, she might as well be graceful about it. I mean Set has been telling us the proper way to behave, so it probably is important to him. Maybe I can get Sia and Arani's help, and relly impress him.
