Amneris shot a glance to Rasuk before she would follow Zarc off of the shuttle. Her gaze fell on those waiting on the platform and she said nothing more on the needless amount of security, because obviously something bigger was going on. She had never seen Imperial Stormtroopers before, not up close anyway. "Well that's nice, Zarc. He came to welcome you back, I am sure." Her naivety was obvious, but sweet. Amneris genuinely thought that the man waiting to see Zarc would just be doing a kindness.

| [ Guess I'll just deal with it]
It wasnt too much longer until another speeder had arrived at the landing pad, an older male stepping out along with his own stormtroopers as he walked to the party that had just landed. The two stormtroopers at the door saluting the Moff as he walked over to Zarcaine and Amneris. "I see that Moff Brandt is still letting himself into other people's homes with out a proper invite." Darres walked over to his niece and gave her a hug as he smiled. "Its nice to see you again dear. I want you to stay out here with Zarcaine and Rasuk while I speak with the Moff." He looked to Rasuk and nodded before he shook Zarcaine's hand as he turned and stepped into the apartment.
Darres walked towards Moff Brandt as he stood and looked at the man. "I see you're still letting yourself into others homes with out an invite. My question now is why have you decided to break and enter the home of a Moff's family." Darres crossed his arms as he stood silent now, waiting for an answer.

| Zarcaine disliked the fact that Moff Brandt had decided to break and enter into his own home, of course anything that could be found would be dismissed as unusable for the unlawful way it was obtained, also for the fact that there was nothing really to find in the apartment. He shook Darres' hand and nodded as he remained outside of the home, turning to Amneris. "Moff Brandt isnt here to welcome me back, I can assure you that much." He stood on the landing pad, letting Darres deal with Moff Brandt as he spoke with Amneris. "Once this is cleared up we'll go visit Senator Thanatos if she is available." He looked to the two stormtroopers that Moff Brandt had stationed at the door. The two stormtroopers that Darres had brought stood by their own speeder as the two guards from the transport that brought Zarcaine, Amneris and Rasuk to Coruscant had also stepped out of the shuttle, standing on the landing pad now and waiting as they walked over to Amneris and Zarcaine, standing on each side to keep them safe.

| Rasuk nodded to Moff Verilia as he was told to stay outside with the Moff's niece. His job was to keep her safe, and he would do that. He took a step forward, keeping his eyes on the stormtroopers at the door, his back facing Amneris as he put himself in the direct line of fire if anything ended up happening. His hand resting on the holster on his hip, ready at any time to draw his weapon. Of course he made sure though that it had its P.E.P. attachment on it so he couldnt be accused of attempting to kill the stormtroopers, just stunning them in the course of his actions. Rasuk was now set on keeping Amneris safe as he was ordered to as he stood in front of both Amneris and Zarcaine.

| (( Sorry about the delay, I've been in Cabo ordering complicated drinks, drinking them down and then demanding another one, and another one, etc. because it's "Not what I ordered!" To Rasuk, don't worry. I won't be in the thread for long and won't inconvenience you, Zarcaine, or Amneris. For the record though, friends, I just need to say I find it highly suspect that Verilia would suddenly appear in this thread without his nephew mentioning it nor his niece even knowing about it. It seems to me the random introduction of another Moff character into this is a certain typist reducing this thread to a penis contest. At the very least, his presence in this thread is a blatant deus ex machina. Mind you, I'm not challenging this and I'm not meaning to pick a fight here, since I respect that this is a personal thread that I am uninvited to. I just felt I needed to state this for the record. No bad feelings, I hope! As I said, I'll be out of your way in a post or two, or three. Might be longer with Verilia here though. ))
Verilia would find Moff Brandt alone inside the apartment, standing at a window and admiring the view (such as it was, obscured by fog) with a glass of brandy in his hand that he'd procured from somewhere—the liquor cabinet in the apartment, probably. Or, if it didn't have a liquor cabinet (how de classe!) from his speeder. Verilia would notice from the smell, however, that it had a respectable amount of coffee in it, too. It would also be apparent from the smile on Brandt's face as he turned to greet Verilia that it probably wasn't his first drink, and he was bemused by the Moff's lack of any sort of courteous greeting. "Why hello!" he said, cordially. "Darres, is it? Darres Verilian? Yes, I've heard you mentioned in the Imperial Court now and then."
Despite their equal ranks, there were parsecs between Brandt's influence in the Empire and Verilia's, and the reasons were twofold; 1.) Imperial Center was, well, the center of the Empire. All of its power players resided here, and Brandt was a social creature of relentless charm, who made his parties requisite occasions for the Imperial crème de la crème (parties to which Verilia had not been invited), and 2.) he had no hesitation to abuse his power on Imperial Center to spy on politicians, do them favors, or bribe them, frame them, etc. The fact he appeared in Zarcaine's apartment uninvited (as he did with many Senators) were proof enough to Brandt's satisfaction that the limits of his power on Imperial Center were few indeed, and even beyond it, too—his close relationships in Palpatine's court meant that his opinion commanded a certain respect even as far as the Outer Rim. In sum, he was someone whom it was unwise to displease.
He didn't seem displeased with Verilia though, Verilia's discourtesy aside. "It's an unexpected surprise to see you here, but I'm pleased to meet you regardless. But 'breaking and entering'? No no, my friend. I simply let myself in, as it seems you did too?" Brandt laughed, as if sharing an inside joke with Verilia. He sighed, "But to answer you, I'm waiting for Senator Zarcaine and his lovely wife. Oh, your niece, yes? I beg your pardon then, but she is lovely indeed. I have, shall we say, a surprise for her and for your nephew-in-law. And what brings you to the biggest little city in the galaxy?" Brandt's tone of voice was not confrontational in the least—nay, it was a specimen of pleasantry if there ever was one. "Please, have a seat," Brandt said as if the apartment were his own, gesturing Verilia to one of the couches as he himself assumed a comfortable chair. It would be apparent that the apartment had been undisturbed; no one had been inside except Brandt and all of Zarcaine's possessions and papers were as he left them.

| The minuscule amount of freedom that Amneris had been given, meaning the permission to leave the Cronese Mandate and visit Imperial Center, had emboldened the young lady more so than normal. "How do you know he is not? I am sure his intentions are no more than honorable, Zarc." She murmured as her gaze flitted to Rasuk, who had taken up a rather puffed up and postured stance in front of her. "And if they are, you and my Uncle are no better than he to accuse so freely." It was a little bit of a scolding, but more because she was upset that her first visit from home was sullied so easily and quickly.
A moment later, Amneris gently nudged past Rasuk. "I want to meet him and see what this is all about. It certainly cannot be as bad as you think." She gaze Zarcaine a dazzling smile and squeezed his hand gently before she broke free and slipped inside the apartment and out of the fog. The young lady smoothed her fingers through her honey brown locks to tame the frizz from the humidity outside. Then, she took a moment to look at what she could see around the apartment.
It was so....modern....compared to what she was used to. Clean, sleek lines and furniture. Very white. Very....sterile. "Uncle Darres?" She called out, as she just wandered further in. Once she caught a glimpse of him, Amneris stopped in the doorway. "Uncle Darres....I know you told me to wait, but it was chilly and the fog was...horrible." Her words stopped once she saw Brandt. He certainly didn't look dangerous, but looks could be deceiving, even a naive young thing like her knew that.

| The first thing Moff Brandt would have noticed is that there was not a single drop of liquor in the entire apartment. Something that was a choice of Zarcaine as he had a personal distaste and dislike of such things. The only exception that they would find though would be a collection of wine, which to Zarcaine was more acceptable and tasteful than liquors like brandy. "Letting yourself in is the exact definition of breaking and entering Moff Brandt, however it would be appreciated that you not confuse your actions with those of an Uncle coming for a surprise visit to see his niece which he has not seen in a while."
As he heard Amneris come in he let out a sigh as he turned around and walked over to her, seeing her gazing at the apartment as he looked to his niece. His hand came up in a non-threatening manner as he touched her cheek and leaned forward, making it so only they could hear the conversation. "You know you always were a bad liar my dear. I think its a trait that you get from your father." He gave a smile knowing how his younger brother was when it came to lying, or rather trying to.

| When Amneris pushed her way pass him Rasuk looked to the two guards that had come off the shuttle before nodding. The two standing still and keeping their eyes on the storm troopers as Rasuk walked into the apartment. He came up behind Amneris as he looked to Moff Verilia. "Sorry sir, but I think she's nearly as hard headed as you are." Rasuk would give a smile under his helmet, having known Darres for a while longer than most people as he looked to Amneris before taking a strong stance next to her.

| Zarcaine let out a sigh as Amneris pushed her way pass Rasuk and followed shortly as he came into his own apartment. The fact that Brandt was even there was an insult, considering the fact that he was uninvited and didnt seem to need to even speak to the Senator to make his intentions known. It was one of the many problems that he saw with the Empire, in the way of their officers that seemed to not give a damn about rules other than the ones they deemed to follow and make to only suit them.

| "Ha, of course," Brandt said, a bit quizzically. He took Verilia's comment as an attempt at humor, not quite understanding the distinction he was making. As soon as Verilia turned his back to him, Brandt indulged in a bemused smile and a shake of his head at his fellow Moff's expense. His attention was soon monopolized by what must have been the Senator's wife, Amneris; a lovely specimen indeed, even if she did appear sad, even smothered, perhaps. Then Rasuk entered, and Brandt's nose furrowed as he imagined that he smelled the Zabrak coming a moment ahead of time. Just his imagination, probably. He had no idea that Rasuk was a bounty hunter, of course, but if he did it would no doubt damage Brandt's estimation of him even more. Then entered Zarcaine, shuffling submissively into his own home behind his uncle, his wife, and his bodyguard without a single word or, apparently, making eye contact with anyone. Brandt was tempted to disregard him, but he was who he'd come to see and, after all, he was in the man's home, too.
"Ah, Senator Zarcaine," he took the initiative of approaching him while Verilia was occupied with Amneris and Rasuk with Verilia. "It's a pleasure to meet you at last—I was remiss not to welcome you to Imperial Center when you first arrived and I hope to make it up to you and your lovely wife. Amneris, yes?" He turned to her, grinned his chesire grin, and bowed his head in salutation. "The worlds of the Cronese Mandate are known for their precious gems, and I can see why." He glanced back to Zarcaine and added, pleasantly, "I have a surprise for you both!"

| As soon as her Uncle Darres leaned in to speak, Amneris' expression dropped and a small frown crept across her face. Lying? She hadn't lied. It was chilly and the fog was somewhat unnerving, though she had wanted to see what all the fuss was about regarding Moff Brandt. But there was no lie in her statement. The confident feeling that she had withered at his words and she pulled away from his hand.
"I'm sorry, Uncle." She murmured. Before she could say anything else, Brandt's voice cut across the room, and for her it felt like a bit of a saving grace so that she did not have to worry about being reprimanded (if he was going to, that is) in front of anyone.
Her gaze went to the man and she offered him a sweet smile, a normal thing for her, when he turned and spoke directly to her. "I am not worthy of the compliment, Your Excellency, but thank you, none the less."

| "If it is you're immediate leave of my home then I'll gladly accept that gift. If not all I can see it as then is nothing less than a bribe." Zarcaine was furious to say the least, the fact that this Moff had decided to let himself into his home showed the fact that the Empire had not a single shred of dignity, nor did they give a damn about any rules other than their own. Zarcaine had his own reservations on returning to Coruscant in the first place, even those in the Cronese Mandate had their own thoughts on it and didnt want him returning and would rather keep him safe in the borders of the Mandate. It was clear though from this intrusion that it wasnt a simple house call as Brandt was trying to play it off of. It didnt matter though, Zarcaine didnt want anything to do with the Moff as he looked to Rasuk before he nodded.
He didnt want Amneris to be subjected to the filth and debauchery that was Moff Brandt. He'd rather have her see the better side of Coruscant in the ways of the various theaters and arts they had. Instead her first visit was being sullied and polluted by a self righteous Moff who saw himself above any of the laws simply because he was the Moff of Coruscant.

| Rasuk saw the nodded as he looked to Amneris before he took her hand gently as he leaned over to speak with her. "Ma'am, I'm hired to ensure that nothing happens to you. Things may not go the way you think they will and this could be worse off. I know you think this is a generous thing that the Moff is doing, but I can assure you that he has other motives." Rasuk then looked to Zarcaine as he spoke up. "I'm sure that Lady Kuriyoshi is tired from her trip and it would be best for her to rest before any more site seeing." He gently nudged Amneris in the direction of the bedroom as he walked with her across the large sitting room before taking their leave.
Once inside the bedroom Rasuk pushed the doors closed before he locked them as he looked back to Amneris. "I'm sorry it has to be this way. If anything happened to you I'd never hear the end of it from either of those two." Rasuk sat her down on the large bed as he pulled a chair over, sitting so he could watch Amneris and the door at the same time.
