Call me

[Claire Organa]

Claire waited on Alderaan she had hired a pilot / bodyguard to accompany her to meet her newest client. She was quite the bundle of nerves at the moment she would need to talk with [member="Gray Raxis"] who she had hired.

He was to meet her on the spaceport restaurant it was an elegant stopover provided for those passing through, switching flights, or business meetings. This, she wasn't sure.

He had been quite unusual in his response to her about needing a guard, he said something about the payment being a "hot sticky and steamy date" what did that mean exactly?

She was wearing something appropriate and she had left the appropriate message for him to meet her. She looked out the window to the view of New Aldera City.

It as always was lovely.

 

[Gray Raxis]

Gray arrived to the restaurant wearing a nice set of clothes. He had his blaster pistol strapped to his right leg as always with his lightsaber hilt hanging next to it. On his feet were a pair of nice black dress shoes. He had been informed of a job guarding [member="Claire Organa"] during one of her trips. He had done this kind of job before in the past during his more active mercing days. He had found himself doing it more now as a hobby since he was working as CEO of SocMin Fed and his duties to the Free Colonies. So when he was contacted by Claire to see if he was willing to take the job on, he made sure to move things around so he could. It would be a good chance to get out of the office, stretch his muscles, and get to see some fancy parties.

Gray walked over to Claire and saw her in her dress. She looked good even if it was something for business and not meant to seduce. If he wasn't engaged or dating someone right now, he might have thought about being flirty to get somewhere. But he was happy and had found the love of his life, so he wasn't going to. Not that he could completely stop the flirting. It just had a way of coming out before he could stop it. Oh well, he just needed to get on task here now. He walked up to her and said with a smile, " Ms. Claire Organa, a pleasure to see you again. I see you are still as beautiful as the last time we met. You almost make me wish I wasn't in a loving, committed relationship right now." He held his hand out to take her's if she decided to offer it.

"Mr. Gray Raxis so good of you to come please sit" Claire motioned for the waitress to come and take a drink order, "This suit looks good on you but you should come see me I think I have something else that would fit you just as well. So no flirting tonight, I think I am heart broke" She smiled.

"Well if you are planning a wedding in the future send your bride to me I'll find her a dress she'll love" Seemed everyone around her was finding love, or had found it. Perhaps it was time she get out more, meet some people Trevor was gone she had to move on she guessed.

She had met a few people at the ball perhaps she should make an attempt.

"So, let's talk and if you're hungry let's eat and discuss what is ahead."

Gray chuckled as he sat down. It was good to see she had a sense of humor. Most of the nobles he had met throughout his life tended to be so serious. He pulled his chair in and looked at her with a smile. He said, " I will need to talk to her and see if she would like to come by for a visit. I know she likes to find new clothes, and she might need some more regal clothing. She became the empress of a planet recently." He ordered a glass of red wine from the waitress and then turned his attention back to Claire. He smiled and said, " Also don't worry. I will still be flirty, just won't have to worry about anything coming of it. So what is it you wanted to talk about exactly? You have my full attention, because I can't stop looking at how pretty you are." He hadn't lied to her. He was still going to be flirty, even if not as bad as he would have been at one time.

Claire looked at Gray, "Prettiest girl in the room huh, well only to be matched by the most handsome. I've always liked long hair on men Gray, it's a good thing you're taken or we'd both be in trouble."

The wine arrived and was immediately poured, Claire waited until the server had walked away. "I have to make a trip that is like right on the Sith border to see a new client. I'm leery. I just escaped Sith territory I don't want to end up back in their clutches"

Claire smiled, "So, I'd like you to come with me as my protector, body guard, whatever term you want to use and make sure I get to come home." She nodded and then placed her hand on his arm, "Can you help?" "Or at least recommend someone?"

Gray chuckled at her comment about his long hair. He smirked to her and said, " Well if I wasn't engaged I think I would have loved to be in that kind of trouble with a lovely woman such as yourself. What man here wouldn't want to be? Or even some women." His wine arrived and was poured into his glass. He smiled in response and then took it into one of his hands. He took a drink from it as he listened to what she needed from him. It sounded fairly standard for most members of royalty and wealth. He set his glass down with a clink as she finished speaking to him. He smiled to her and said, " Well there are two different groups I could direct you towards for regular work as bodyguards. The Carrion Company and then the Merc Legion would be there names. I have had deals with the Carrion Company and am a member of the Merc Legion so I can vouch for them. The other thing is both groups have contracts with the Galactic Republic. So they would be good to get a hold of."

Gray leaned back into his chair as he smiled to her. He added after a moment as he twirled his glass around idly, " Now for this job, I can offer my services to you if you would like. I do take on bodyguard work and have done it in the past before. It is always well paying and tends to be easier, even if stuff happens some times. I would also be willing to do it for no cost as well as a personal favor. If that sounds good to you. Just let me know what you think of that." He took another drink of his wine as he finished speaking. It was up to her how she reacted to what he had to say.

"Personal favor, that's very interesting Gray, why would you do it as a personal favor? Most folks just say show me the credits you" She would be indebted to him if she let him take it as a personal favor.

She could afford it right? She wasn't sure, what was the going rate for body guards? Her biggest concern was that she be stranded and end up back in sith hands, she could not do that, no no no NO.

She squeezed her glass just a bit.

"Maybe there is something we can exchange other than..um..things" She smiled. She wasn't sure what she could offer but she'd find something.
