Sunomi giggled hard at jade's expression and rather quick leaping up as the officer siting next her giggled and with jade's miffed expression she couldn't help, but add her own giggle to it. As jade spoke she began to say her reply before he turned and walked away rather quickly. Sunomi gave the blushing twi'lek a good matured wink as bulc began working on her before she started jogging after jade. Before she reached the opening of the hanger she decided to change and shower first and turned the opposite way from jade down the corridor. Once she reached her shared bunk area she stripped out of her armor and gathered up her bathing supplies and left for the shared showers, but not before shooting off a message to jade asking if he would join her for dinner.

It had taken Jade some time to get things into any kind of order in the hangers, the vibration of his datapad being left unnoticed for quite a while...at least an hour...while he saw to it that his men were taken care of. Upon completing this task, he strode down the corridors toward the bridge. Only then did a reminder vibration alert him to the message. Eying the question, Jade paused mid-stride, nearly causing another officer to run into the back of him. Paying no attention to the miffed officer who now skirted around him, Jade narrowed his eyes debating on what he should do.
Sunomi was dangerous to him; she managed to slip past his defenses in the worst...or perhaps best...ways, getting nerve-wrackingly close to his true emotions. What was worse...he didn't entirely mind. His mind told him to stay away, keep his distance...things would only end up badly otherwise...but at the same time....
Well, I have to eat sometime...I may as well...
He mused, returning her message. He had originally intended on returning to the bridge to make sure things were returning to normal, but....it would do to simply ask over the com unit. Making his way to his quarters, Jade debated on what to do first...he needed a shower after the beginning of the day on Nar Shaddaa, he needed to attend to his eyes, and he needed to speak to the captain on deck. Deciding the ship took priority, he spoke to the bridge, and after being assured that things were under control, Jade allowed himself to shower and put a few drops of kolto on his still stinging eyes before getting dressed once more.

Sunomi took a long shower before she left had left the shower she heard her datapad beep off with jades reply. She rushed back to her shared bunks to find the proper establishment on Nar Shaddar. Eventually she settle on a restaurant the the classy area of the planet as she got dressed she sent a message to Jade to meet here in the hanger bay and another to take a shuttle craft from the ship. "Oh, this should be fun." she thought to herself as she pulled the coat of her dress uniform on and she couldn't help, but think of herself as a cat stalking her prey as she left for the hangers.

As Jade was putting on his shirt, he received her second message. The hanger bay? Dress uniform?....what have I gotten myself into this time....? He mused, moving over the the closet once more and pulling out a garment bag. He'd not received a dress uniform for the Sith Navy yet, so he only really had one option. Opening the bag, he proceeded to re-dress himself. The uniform felt like home to him...the memories of when he'd worn it flooding his mind. Sighing, he reminded himself that those days were gone. Now that he was dressed, he just hoped he could avoid most of his crew....he knew it would be impossible, but even so....oh well, there was no turning back now. Attaching his spear to his belt, Jade stepped out of his room, already earning a few confused looks from the crew that was in the hallway.
The walk to the hangar bay seemed incredibly long this time around, and by the time he got there, Jade was feeling rather miffed once again. Why was he doing this anyway? To be nice? He wasn't a nice man...never had been...he was just polite...sometimes just to spite others. He most certainly wasn't "nice." Huffing as he grabbed a pilot who was walking by, he informed the man that he would be taking a shuttle to the world below with Captain Sunomi, boarded said shuttle, and started the preflight procedure.

Sunomi was surprised that she was actually nervous as she paced to and fro across the hanger bay waiting on jade. Her dress uniform the light pressed grey and black accenting of the traditional Sith uniform for the first time probably ever she truly wished she had packed a nice dress along with her other clothes. She began chewing on her lower lip as she walked past the hanger bay doors for the sixteenth time. Sunomi was startled a little when jade finally arrived and smiled at him before he swept straight up into the shuttle. He smile faltered and a sad look washed over her face as she made here way to the shuttle. "Maybe this wasn't a good idea"[/i] she thought to herself as she boarded the shuttle and waited for jade to take notice of her, peering at him with her own peculiar purple eyes.

Jade had been so busy with his own thoughts that he barely heard Sunomi enter the shuttle. Standing and turning to face her, he eyed her uniform curiously, the grey and black a stark contrast to his white uniform trimmed with blue. His uniform was quite unusual, even for a dress uniform. The shoulders of it seemed to be more akin to material covered armor (which in fact they were), with a high collar. Beneath that, a single medal of honor from the Corellian Queen hung on a wide ribbon of the same colors. To be honest, the uniform was more of a 'dress armor' than a dress uniform, as many parts of it were thick enough to garner protection while on missions of state...after all, he was, first and foremost, was an officer for Corellia's royalty...well, he had been any way. Sunomi...hello. You look....good.He stated, not knowing what else to say. Just what DID one say in a situation such as this? Adjusting his coat slightly, he motioned to a seat, waiting for her to sit before he continued with what he had been doing.

Sunomi finally got a change to get a good look at jade's uniform and it made her more than a little self conscious of her plain jane sith uniform and wishing even harder that she had thought to back a dress. She blushed at his comment before attempting to turn some of the awkwardness she felt to him as she set down. "And your quite handsome, jade."

Despite his awkward feelings, he'd managed to make Sunomi blush slightly. Smirking to himself, Jade raised an eyebrow to her comment. Looking down at his white uniform, he brushed away a bit of dirt that only he seemed to see. Returning his eyes to her, he shrugged nonchalantly.
Thank you....though I do believe it's just the uniform. I've seen even typically...unpleasant....looking individuals suddenly appear more appealing to the eye.
He stated honestly.
Though I appreciate your comment. Most tend to think the opposite.
Have a seat please. We should be going if we're to return for my shift.
Jade stated, no longer waiting for her to sit before he sat down once again. This type of outfit was typical of nobility on Corellia, and though it seemed cumbersome at first (which it really was, and took quite a bit of getting used to), Jade had easily gotten used to the protection it provided and even found it comfortable to move around in, just like his typical uniform.
So...would you care to tell me where we're going, or am I just going to be flying around for several hours clueless as to what's going on?
He asked, teasing her lightly.

Sunomi was only a little peeved when he smirked at her. "Hmm, oh I think you'd still be quite handsome even without the uniform. she gave him a evil grin before continuing. "I suppose you could strip down and I could check my opinion here." she sitting down with a slight bounce as she pulled the seat belt over herself. "You could hurt a girl's feelings worrying about your shift so much." she said with a fake slight pout she well understood his feelings. "If we didn't have a reservation I might just let you wander around you cruel man, but I'm afraid we have a time limit. We're going to the Correllian Lounge it's just off from the Solar Dex liner pad.

Jade had been about to retort back, when she told him just where they were going. It was like a knife to the heart that one word, but he ignored it and nodded once as he brought the shuttle up and out of the hangar.
Well, normally I wouldn't say no to a pretty lady such as yourself, but I'm afraid stripping me down is quite out of the question.
He managed to reply, not able to come up with anything better. Truth be told, he wouldn't mind it...if there weren't so many other factors....like she worked for a man who was suspicious of him.
It didn't take long for them to reach the landing pad, and Jade brought the shuttle down with a light bump and hiss of hydrolics. Shutting down the power to the shuttle, Jade stood and waited for Sunomi, holding out a hand to her in case she needed help standing. Only then did he realize how foolish a thought that was, considering she was just as capable as he at standing on her own, but...old habits died hard.

"Aw" sunomi said with a pout before bouncing to a smile "I'd do it with you." she was taken some what aback when he offered a hand to help here stand and almost wished she could take her last jibe back. She grappled his hand and levered herself up using him as a anchor. "So you are a gentleman I was beginning to doubt it" she said finishing it with a peck on his cheek. "Now we had better hurry up I'm famished." she started down the ramp with jade's hand still in hers.

Jade shook off her joke with a sigh and allowed her to use him to stand. At her next statement, however, Jade blinked a few times seeming surprised, if only for a moment.
Ha...I'm hardly what one would call a gentleman...your doubts would not have been misplaced.
As she kissed his cheek, Jade stood for a moment, feeling more than a little self conscious. Suddenly she was talking about hurrying and pulling him down the ramp by his hand. Not having the heart to pull his hand away from hers, he just allowed himself to be led along the ramp and into the night of Nar Shaddaa. As he followed her, he couldn't help but notice that she really was such a pretty woman, the light shining in her purple hair, her body lithe...it was a shame they'd not met under different circumstances. Letting out an uncustomary sigh showing that he truly felt something besides his typical calm, he shook his head slightly to clear it of his current train of thought.

Sunomi bathed in the cool air swirling around nar shaddar's high towers as she pulled jade along behind her. Eventually reaching the window roofed building housing the Correllian Lounge though if she had any doubt from the building the freighter sized holographic sign left no doubt. "Come on jade." she said finally letting go of his hand as she instead took his arm and told the front desk their names. "Ah, yes, I see you now. K-223 please take these two to table 112."
"Greetings I'm K-223 and I will be your waitress please follow me." the hovering droid said as she finished she turned leading them though weaving corridors before entering a section with private semi-circular booths and gestured to theirs. "Please sit you can order from the holopads." the droid quickly zipped off as sunomi finally released jade and seat on her side of the booth and waited for jade while looking at the holopad.

Jade followed along quietly for the short walk. It wasn't until they reached the booth and they had both been seated that Jade bothered to really notice his surroundings. Yes, he'd been paying attention, but not so much with his eyes as with the force...a thing he'd been learning to use more and more. Various emotions, impressions, colors...they all hit him at once, pulling his consciousness in a thousand different directions as he searched the areas around them for threats. After the uncomfortable conversation in the shuttle, it was a welcome reprieve that allowed him to focus on something else.
As they sat down, Jade noted that the restaurant did indeed simulate those on Corellia, with various shades of green decorating the place along with pictures of rolling hills, oceans, and of course, a great number of ships made by the dry docks around the planet. To be honest, it made him a bit homesick.
What tempted you to come here Sunomi?
He asked, picking up one of the holopads. Choosing a dish he recognized from home, Jade put the holopad down again and traced the outline of a road he knew on the main continent with a finger idly.

"It was the only high class restaurant with open reservations, besides I've never eattin correllian food." She told him with her best innocent smile to she admitted to herself that it was because she thought he would enjoy something familiar. She looked quizzically at the menu quickly deciding to ordering herself a glass of wine she set about staring blank eyed at the menu. "Soo, what are you eating I can't really decide."

Jade chuckled slightly and shook his head. He didn't fully believe what she said about not every having Corellian food, but he wasn't going to second guess the idea just because he couldn't quite grasp it. Leaning closer to her, he tapped a finger beside what he was eating. It was a simple dish really...like a pot pie almost. It had a crust at the bottom, and a few layers of vegetables, meat and yes...ACTUAL mashed potatoes on top before being baked in the ovens.
I remember this one from home. It's rather good if you're fond of pot pies.
He stated, looking over at her with a small smile. For half a moment...he was tempted....very tempted...but no. That was inappropriate. Leaning back once more, he glanced away, searching for a different topic.

"Hmm sounds good." she said deciding to follow the local's opinion and taped it."Home huh so your correllian, bah, I should have read the datafile, I'm sorry if this makes you unconformable. she said sincerely well the last part was sincere. Sunomi shook herself out of her glaze as she found herself staring into jade's eyes and quitely cleared her throat. "We can talk about what ever we like except the military matters, we wouldn't want anyone spying now would we." she winked at him as she finished.

Jade shrugged slightly, letting the words slide off him like water. He hadn't thought she'd meant any harm, so it didn't really bother him.
Not to worry. I'm quite used to this feeling by now. Haven't you heard that Corellians...for whatever reason...seem to be more prone to nostalgia about the planet and homesickness than any other people in the Galaxy?
He stated, half teasing, half telling the truth. His eyes focusing on hers, he smiled a bit more, feeling uncharacteristically open with his feelings. For once, he didn't mind someone seeing the inner him...something he worked very hard to hide. Just why was he trusting this woman so suddenly? Chuckling, he nodded in understanding of her second statement.
Alright then...what would you like to talk about? I suppose I could try and woo you with my good manners and devilish charm...what little of it there is...or we could keep the conversation more tame and civil.
He mused out loud, a hint of humor to his voice as he gazed intently at her.

"Oh, I do so love being naughty." she told jade with a wicked grin before sighing "Don't worry jade I'm not quite that evil, well out side of certain places." Sunomi racked her brain as she tried to think of something to talk about just as the droid arrived with their drinks apparently jade had ordered wine as well, as the droid set a glass in front of them both. She took a sip of her wine before deciding on a simple question. "What do you think of Nar Shaddar?"

Jade rolled his eyes at her first statement. What a trying woman...he mused silently as he took a sip of the wine, though he mildly wondered what 'certain places' she was talking about. Pushing this thought aside, he huffed at her question.
I couldn't express to you in words just how much I dislike this planet.
He stated simply, his glasses glinting slightly in the dim light of the restaurant.
What about yourself? Certainly you can't tell me that you enjoy being here?
Jade asked, raising an eyebrow.
