Jasmine nods to the man who had bowed to her, smiling softly at the ones introduced to her as well.

"It is a wonderful pleasure to meet all of you. I thank you for the warm greeting."

Jasmine then turns to Dakkon and giggles softly, following him through the crowd.

"You always do find me ravishing, don't you?"

Dakkon smiled laughingly.

"Of course! It was one of the reasons behind our marriage.

After your intelligence, your wisdom, leadership, popularity among the people...

Oh, and the fact that i love you, we can't forget that one!"

Dakkon watched as the two CEOs began to converse. Looking around he saw Zedarr and Jaina off to one side watching.

"Jasmine i have some more people i'd like you to meet. Ren, Mr Ashar if you'll excuse us."

His hand slipped into the small of Jasmines back as he lead her over to his cousin and the smuggler.

"Jaina, Zedarr, meet the new Queen Mother, Jasmine Darksword. Jasmine, you remember my cousin?"

Sitting in his chair in the farthest corner of the ballroom, Kas sipped his drink. Expensive, he was sure. Something told him he had had it before… The memories were very faint.

He had decided that the Happens wouldn’t be able to detect any force usage, and was therefore taking advantage of the bustle with a small force cloak. Everyone who looked his way would see nothing but an empty table, with an unusually large pile of overcoats mashed into the corner.

Better to remain unnoticed, and out of the general throng…

There was a rush, a gasp, and much talk as the new Happen Queen mother made her entrance. Beautiful, I can see Dakkon's attraction. I‘ll have to greet her later when she’s not surrounded by people…

His eyes wandered over the crowed. These Happens certainly did have a lot of friends. His eyes picked up familiar faces, Ren being the most recognizable. Kas felt a few familiar life forms as well, but all were too far away to be seen. All, but one.

No… it couldn’t be.

But it was. Jaina Solo, and she made quite a figure. She was standing there, waiting for her turn to greet the new queen. Why would people be in such a hurry? It didn’t make sense.

A tendril of the force reached out…

Jai… Nice outfit.

The semi hollow voice reverberated inside the girls head…

Move to southern corner, act natural.

Jasmine nods to Dak's cousin after being led over to him, then nods to the female named Jaina Solo. This one she had heard about, and was hoping to meet the young smuggler.

She turns to Dak's cousin first (sorry, forgot his name), chuckling softly.


"Yes, of course. It has been awhile since we last spoke. I trust you well?"

Jasmine then turns to Jaina.

"Ms. Solo. I have heard a great many things about you, and have always wanted to meet you in person.

I trust you are well also?"

Dakkon smiled as he watched the conversation flow between the two women. Zedarr looked on intently and Dakkon sensed an attraction between him and Jai. Well, he was happy that Zedarr was being tempted with settling down, or at least, as much as one could settle down with a Solo.

Suddenly he sensed a strange emanation, definetly of the Force. Dakkon had not pursued his training past the basic instruction that had been given to him by Ki Adi Mundi, but he knew when someone was using it. He frowned, but dismissed it, because hey, it was a party.

Jasmine glanced at Dakkon for a moment, noticing his frown, but shifted her attention back to Jaina. She did not want to seem rude to the smuggler for not paying attention or seeming intrested in what she had to had to say.

Instead, she merely goes back to her conversation with Ms. Solo politely.

Jai blushed slightly when she was introduced; she wasn't sure what she should do. That girly 'curtsie' thing was out of the question, Jai would break a heel trying. So instead, she bowed gracefully, offering a sweet smile.

"Queen Jasmine, it is a great honor to make your aquaintance. I am quite well, and judgeing by your radiating beauty, I'd say you're the same." Jai was shocked and flattered at what the Queen said next..."Meet me, Your Majesty? That is a compliment I shant forget anytime soon."

As the two women talked, Zedarr kept glanceing at her with looks that made her start to wonder...but just as she did, Kas' force-propelled voice crept into her mind, and she couldn't help but smile.
She glanced casually to the southern corner of the room, and saw no-one, but decided to slip off over there as soon as the Queen was bored with talking to her and would have to move on...

Jasmine chuckles softly again at Jaina's words.

"Yes, I am quite well, thank you. And please, do not forget I have wanted to meet you. I find the whole smuggler thing quite intresting. I always wondered why someone would become a smuggler, and how much they like it.

I know some do it for money, and some do it for the sake of having a job.

You, I have heard, do it because it runs in your blood. Is that true?

And how is the smuggling business going these days?"

The Imperial Grand Moff, Vost Tyne, enters in the grand fashion customary of those of his title. Flanking him were a pair of crimson clad Imperial Royal Guards. His dress uniform almost shone, the metals which lay upon it surely did.

His stride carried him directly to the Queen Mother. He paused a moment before speaking.

"The Galactic Empire wishes you a long reign as Queen Mother and a prosperous life."

The Grand Moff stated in a regal manner.

Jai had time to speak before the Grand Moff walked up.

She smiled with that inherited smirk of hers when the Queen questioned why she did what she did, "Aye, Madam. I tried being a Jedi, I tried being a politician, but smuggling just...well...it's in my blood, in my soul. I can't do anything else one fourth as well as I can smuggle."

By this time, Jai was really into what she was saying, and she was quite a dramatic speaker when it came to this subject, "Aw, there ain't nothing like sneaking through seedy ports to acquire your goods, nothing like a clean getaway, and the best part are the tight spots you find yourself in. Why, I should be dead a few times over by now...it's the danger, the thrill, the rush you get when your being chased. I'm addicted, as my father puts it..but it's his fault really."

She stopped and smirked...and then blushed a bit when she realized how into her depiction she had been, "Yes..well...And business is good...I would go into detail, but such things are best kept quiet. You understand, of course..."
