"Naturally. Of course, we won't be out in the streets much. Senator Mothma's apartments are rather secluded; the only people that might see you might think you exotic, but not much more. Wear a hood if you please, conceal your face until we go inside."

oh so she's rEALLY getting involved mAN i need to watch Andor again
this is going to be a fabulous interaction two of the most influential women in the galaxy just being extremely cool and planning the demise of the corrupt government
"I will. When do we depart?" That put him at ease. He picked up a sense of familiarity. Thalassa was no liar, and if she deemed a place safe, he had a level of trust in her that she was right.

I am SO excited to write this. I love Mon Mothma so much; she's such a complex and fascinating person and she's compelling and I could sing her praises all day. She is NOT gonna like talking to Thalassa though. Not initially. Finding out the wife of a fascist is interested in working with you isn't exactly a pleasant notion.
"Five days from now--it's a long way to Coruscant. If you have anything you need to get in order before then, I suggest you do so." Her shoulders were slightly tensed.

oh she def gonna be suspicious of her and also her bodyguard being Sirejj doesn't exactly instill a peace in anyone. this'll be so great.
"There's not much. So long as I have my staff and the clothes on my back I'm well equipped to face most things." He sensed the tension, but her mind was as tight as usual. She would notice if he prodded too far.

Do you wanna play her or would you rather I do? I'd love to take a crack at her so I don't mind either way.
"Excellent." She walked on in silence.
Footsteps echoed behind them, speeding up into a rapid pitter-patter after a moment. Thalassa gave no reaction.

gonna differ to you, I haven't invested much thought into her character at all aside from admiring her so you probably should. Just now barely getting comfortable with Vader lol
Sirejj swiftly diverted his senses and glanced over his shoulder.

There was no one there; the footsteps moved past him down the hallway with nobody there to make them.
Thalassa turned to look at him. "Everything alright, Sirejj?"

"Yes, thought I heard something." He felt as if he had seen someone as well, but their presence eluded him. That was odd. This place had not struck him as particularly disturbed when he had entered. He continued walking

"Hm." Thalassa shrugged, though her gaze lingered on the doors behind her for just a moment before she resumed walking. "This house is very old," she said. "It's bound to make creaks and whistles every now and again--the foundations were laid over eight hundred years ago."

"Has it been in your family's possession for that long?"

"No." Thalassa smiled coldly. "This belonged to my family's political rivals, the Josks. We were on another continent, at the time--Rivon--and were vying for a seat in the Senate. My ancestor, Salio Motti, proposed a dinner in which he and the patriarch of the Josk family would haggle each other down and hopefully strike an alliance. He and four other family members went to the dinner. Hiro Josk assumed that all would be well--they were meeting on his turf, after all." Her voice carried a measure of satisfaction. "Salio had paid off the right people, though. He reached an accord over the meal, went to bed, and gave the signal for his allies to gas the entire household. He and his cousin were the only survivors."

Sirejj gave a slight grin. "Clever fellow it sounds like. The Motti ruthlessness has transcended the generations, then."

"We had a few rough patches, as most families do." She shrugged. "The great revival came around two hundred years ago, and the Treacle was established when my great-grandmother secured relationships with the Stygos and Regarsus families."

"And those still exist today?" Sirejj was always curious to learn about the individuals he worked for, even information that wasn't necessary to the job. In the past, he'd had to control the desire to nose around where he wouldn't be welcome.

"Indeed, though we've not had a meeting in person in some time. The patriarchs are good men--well, by our standards. Loyal, smart, and above all open to listening. That's important in partnerships, you know."
