Playing a memory (Day 1 Early Night The Hollow)

[Nekoinu]

"What, no woman ever asked you for it? I find that hard to believe."

The Zabrak let out another laugh, one more mischievous than the last. "I don't know. I'm not really aiming to surprise you. I just do what I wish."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"A few have, thought it's not like I'd put one on for just anyone. Even if I could manage to get my hands on one." Which he probably could now that he thought about it.

"Oh? Could I ask what you wish to do right now then? Or are you as secretive as you are unpredictable my lord."

[Nekoinu]

"I can imagine they find it to be attractive for some reason," she said with a smirk.

"As for what I wish, your guess was correct. My secrets are mine to cherish and guard." She gave him a small pout. "I can't be having a mysterious stranger from a Nar Shaddaa bar learning those."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I've heard that before." He mused. "Something about ladies loving a man in uniform."

He drew her closer a smile playing across his lips. I should never of asked, My Lord Ralnorrei, you have my apologies." He dropped into another dip, this time following along with her as she went, lips close enough to almost kiss.

[Nekoinu]

"That's the saying," she said with a chuckle.

"Apology accepted." The Sith lingered close to him, staring at him. "It seems to me as if you can barely contain yourself," she mused.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Maybe I should add a selection to my wardrobe then."

It was his turn to chuckle as he looked into her eyes, his lips curling into a crooked smile. "Perhaps that's the feeling I was aiming for." He shifted sensuously moving the pair of them out of the dip, before beginning a series of twists and spins.

[Nekoinu]

"Hopefully it'd go well with the hat. Can't be having that missing, Sergeant Z."

The Sith Lord continued to follow his lead in this dance of theirs. "What dark secrets lurk inside that heart of yours?" she teased.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I'm sure I could work it in one way or another My lord." The Hat was important after all.

He smiled teasingly. "I'll admit to having a few, but I wouldn't fit the role of Mysterious Stranger if I let them part from my lips so easily."

[Nekoinu]

Lord Ralnorrei closed her eyes and smiled. "I assure you that nobody doesn't have secrets on this wretched moon. But I suppose that makes it all the more fun."

[Zanebry Varliss]

For a moment he considered stealing her lips, with her eyes closed the moment was there, and some might consider it a invitation. Instead he pulled her in close his cheek brushing hers as he whispered in her ear. "You almost made me forget I'm a gentleman for a moment there."

Pulling back he resumed their casual conversation again. "I do admit I find it a bit exciting, not knowing what someone may be hiding. It keeps me on my toes."

[Nekoinu]

"A gentleman but also naughty, right? That is what you said."

The Zabrak smirked. "If there's one thing to trust about me it's that I may always be lying."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"It is." He confirmed his eyes moving towards the band for a moment, as things started to move towards an intermission.

"Always? That sounds a bit difficult to keep up with." He mused, taking a step back and and offering her a half bow as the music came to a halt. "Thank you for the dance My lord..." He trailed off for a moment. "Care to join me for that drink now?" He asked indicating the bar with a tip of his head.

[Nekoinu]

Lord Ralnorrei gave a mock curtsy as well, despite her lack of skirt. "Sure, Sergeant Z. You're still in charge... for now," she said with a devious grin.

[Zanebry Varliss]

He chuckled at that. "Oh? So you havent been in charfe from the start My Lord?" He asked before leading her back to their seats at the bar. Holding her chair out so she could take her seat before taking his own. Talor would walk over with their drinks in hand, a kolto again for Zane and the Dewback for Ralnorrei.

[Nekoinu]

"True. I could kill you and nobody would oppose me," she said, her tone flat. If any reaction was given to her, she'd simply stare back blankly. However, when she was seated she went back to her normal, playful self. "Such a gentleman. I could move it out with the Force, you know."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I've been aware of that since the moment we met my Lord." He responded with a easy smile, ignoring any blank stares aimed in his direction.

"True, but I'm sure you are perfectly able to pull out your own chair without the force as well, and it would still be bad manners on my part to not at least offer to do so for you."

[Nekoinu]

"A bold one, huh? Guess that must be the military training speaking," she remarked.

The Sith traced her finger along the rim of her glass. "Would it? Or is it bad manners to assume that I need such assistance?" she asked with a teasing tone.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"You might be right there, after you see a few friends die, you get pretty used to the fact that the next moment it could be you." There really didn't need to be a reason for it either.

His lips curled into a smile. "It's never bad manners to hold a chair for a lady My Lord, some may say it's rude to assume they need such assistance though."

[Nekoinu]

"Were any of them close?" she asked, letting the last one linger.

"Well, I never really much cared. Hold a chair for me, good. It's a sign of respect. And I like to be pampered."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"A few were good friends, nothing beyond that though, if that's what you were asking." Lifting his glass to his lips he took a slow sip, savoring the flavor.

"That's nice to know, I'll try to remember it.' He offered her a teasing smile. "Just in case."

[Nekoinu]

"That sucks. Can't say I ever lost anyone myself," she said before lifting her glass to her lips for a good, long drink.

She smiled in return. "It's become easier since I became a Lord. Part of me misses the challenge and the thrill of proving them wrong." Her grin became more crooked. "They didn't ever get to make up for their error."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Suck is a good word for it." He replied with a smirk.

"The same goes for a lot of people in this galaxy, even those that are still alive. Some errors aren't so easy to make up for after all."

[Nekoinu]

"You seem to have seen it all, Sergeant Z. Well, except for a Sith Lord at a bar." She toyed around with a drink a bit more. "Good choice, by the way.'

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I suppose I've seen my fair share." He mused, smiling as she complemented the drink. "I'm glad you like it. Not too strong is it?"

[Nekoinu]

"I can handle my liquor. My kind are known for being rather, well, resilient."
