Sunomi waited for jade to finish before replying with a soothing smile. "Do not worry jade you wouldn't be the first what would be the word Planetalist? that I have met." She took another sip of wine finally pushing her food away before continuing. "As for weather Correllia is better, well, I wouldn't know I've never been there and probably won't ever visit it. I wouldn't exactly be welcome there. sighing she turned the conversation back to Dantooine. "Though I don't believe Correllia has Kath Hounds and I do think their such pretty animals or those amazing flying creatures Dantooine has. Oh, I do so love animals I had a small pet lizard in my barracks for the longest time when I was on Muunlist."

Tilting his head to the side slightly, Jade looked at her in a different way than he had. Why had someone like her entered the Sith navy? Again this question stayed stuck in the forefront of his mind as he shook his head quietly.
It's a shame you've not been. If I'm ever able to go back, I would like it if you could come with me...
Pausing, he realized what he'd just said. Swiftly moving on, he didn't bother to address what he'd just said again.
Gurrcat, Sharnaff, and Wrix tend to be among my favorites, but I can understand your point of view...in fact...yes, I believe I have something that might interest you back in my quarters.
He mused, seeming to mull something over in his mind. Nodding to himself he smiled at her across the table.
If you will permit, I'd like you to come with me to my quarters once we return...I have something I'd like to show you.
Actually, Jade had something to GIVE her, but he wasn't about to tell her that.
Out of curiosity...why DID you join the Sith Navy, Sunomi? I find it difficult to see you in such a...hardened...service.
What he actually meant was that he didn't understand how someone so nice, kind even, had ended up in one of the most hated, and hate filled, navies he'd ever heard of.

Sunomi was wishing she hadn't drained the rest of her wine. "Yes, a shame." She would have added more, but he continued on faster than she could continue asking her to his quarters. She smiled and nodded trying to discern what he implied. "Surely not That! she thought to herself. She fidgeted when he asked why she joined the sith military truth was she hated everything about the sith, but she certainly was telling him everything not yet. "Well, Umm...I..." she breathed out slowly settling her neves. "As you might expect I spent my child hood in hutt space and there they don't follow republic rules or even their own half the time. Well, I did things ; things that I will not elaborate on, after which I was no longer welcome in Hutt space and well, I had meet barj before them and at the time he was the only one who might be able to help me. That was right before he joined the empire and I, well, I tagged along." She puffed out a breathe as she studied jade's face.

Nodding, Jade listened silently to her explanation. He wondered just what she'd done that made her feel that the sith navy, Barj especially, had been the answer to her problem, but decided against pressing the situation. He could tell it was a touchy subject to her, so he simply let it pass with an "I see" as the waitress returned with their check. Picking it up, he didn't bother to allow Sunomi to pay for it. It just wasn't his style to allow a lady to pay for a dinner such as this. Perhaps if she insisted another time he would, but for now...no. Paying the fee, Jade looked across the table at Sunomi and made a motion that asked if she wanted to leave yet or not. He was in no particular rush, but Jade wasn't fond of staying in any one place for too long.

"I don't particularly feel like returning to the ship jade." sunomi said answering his unspoken question. She looked calmly across to jade blushing slightly as she leaned back. "Which leaves the more difficult question of where we go now." she stretched lethargically reaching up behind her head as she slowly stood. "I suppose we could walk about up here in the nice parts of Nar Shaddar.

He chuckled softly and nodded.
That actually had been my idea Sunomi. You must understand one thing about me...I don't like staying in any one place for too long.
Jade replied, standing as well and holding out an arm for her to take if she wished.

Sunomi nodded as she straightened out the short dress coat she wore. "I can understand that." She was surprised when he held out his arm to her. Not being one to turn down a fine choice she took it and leaned into him. "Soo, ready to leave?"

He nodded and rested a gloved hand over hers as he led them out of the building and out into the cool night air. Glancing around, he started walking in just a random direction, allowing them to walk quietly for a bit and enjoy the area around them. It was rather pretty in the city at night, but he still didn't like it. The planet was too crowded for him. Then again...most planets felt too confined for him. There was nothing like the freedom of space travel, or like Corellia. Mentally shrugging it off, he smiled at her.
So...is there anywhere you would like to go? I obviously don't know this planet that well...

Sunomi gazed almost glassy eyed at the sparsely crowded area of the upper levels of Nar Shaddar. It seemed a completely different world than the ones she remembered and in a way she believed it was no one here knew anything about the desperate world below them. She snuggled into jade losing herself until he spoke. "Hmm, I'm afraid I don't know anything more about this region of the world." she leaned out clearly the moment was past. "Do you see anything to visit?"

Jade shook his head silently, almost wishing he hadn't said anything. He'd rather liked having her close beside him, and he sighed slightly.
Well then, it seems we're on equal footing.
He mused, glancing around them, his red eyes glittering slightly behind his glasses. It was an odd sensation, being alone like this with a pretty woman interested in him for reasons besides his money or standing in the navy...though perhaps she was simply interested in his standing in the navy, but for different reasons than others would have been. Chuckling to himself for this odd turn of thoughts, Jade shook his head to clear it of the strange mixture of thoughts and emotions. Obviously the wine was getting to him...though he couldn't think of why. Again he reminded himself that he'd only had one glass of the red liquid, and that was certainly far less than he'd had other times and not gotten to the point where it affected his mind in such a way. As a cool breeze blew past, he suddenly thought of something.
You'll let me know if you become cold, won't you?
He asked, gazing at her calmly, his face an unreadable mask of calm.

Sunomi stifled a sigh as he spoke. "I would assume so." She answered his question with a simple yes, before she chose to use it as a excuse to snuggle back up to him. As they walk she slid a mischievous grin on her face as she looked up at him though slitted eyes. "If we don't find something soon I might just have to make you take me dress shopping."

Feeling her lean closer to him again, he tried to ignore the way his heartbeat quickened as she did so. After her comment, Jade stepped to the side slightly and looked at her with a bit of shock showing in his eyes as she gave him a mischievous look. Sighing, he shrugged slightly and extracted his arm from hers, allowing it to slide around her waist.
I suppose if I must endure that horrible fate-worse-than-death, I shall...but only as a last resort.
He teased, his voice full of his typical dry sarcasm.

Her heart bubbled when he put his arm along her waist and she deftly slid her arm around his waist after all it wouldn't be fair to leave him unsupported. Sunomi laughed as his fake lamentation. "Oh, I can think of quite a few things worse if you consider dress shopping one like children for instance. Hm, don't you think we'd have beautiful children." she teased slipping into a motherly tone towards the end. As they stood there she caught a glimpse of a clothing store across the way. "Well, I think your out of time. Come, Come, don't make me flash you." she held a cheesy grin on the last part and winked at him. Of couse she wouldn't actually do it in the middle of a street....though..

Jade's mouth nearly dropped open at her comment, before she glossed right over it as she noticed the clothing shop. At her next statement, a wicked smile spread across his face, his red eyes and glasses flickering in the streetlights.
Well then, perhaps I'll just stay right here? I wouldn't mind seeing that show....
He stated, with impish delight dripping from his words. Truth be told, he wouldn't mind that one bit...though perhaps in a place a bit more private than the middle of the street. However, after standing stubbornly still long enough to allow her to think he was serious in his own threat, he allowed her to lead him over to the shop without further protest.

Sunomi Blushed from her Hairline down past the collar of her coat. She hurriedly looked away and dragged him inside the store. "Um" she looked shyly at jade for the first time since she'd meet him "You um, you know I wouldn't do that right. she fidgeted in her position before the nervousness got the better of her and she untangled herself from jade and walked towards the racks of clothing not really paying any mind to them...Until she walked right into them shaking the rack violently. Sufficiently brought back to reality she looked back over her shoulder for jade as she absently grasped a dress.

Jade let out a short, bark-like, laugh and his eyes twinkled slightly.
Yes, I know. But be warned...next time I may take you up on that offer.
He teased, giving her a wink. As she ran into the rack, he flinched slightly and chuckled again, smiling over at her.
Don't be so nervous Sunomi...you teased me, so I had every right to tease you back.
He added, folding his arms across his chest before looking at the furry...he thought it was supposed to be a dress...though he wasn't quite sure.
Are you certain you want to try on the piece of trimmed fur?
He asked, tilting his head to the side slightly.

"I know I'm sorry it was entirely fair It's just.....fur?" She looked at the dress she was fingering more closely and quickly snatched her hand away from it as the looked around. Finally spotting a rack that didn't hold butchered skin. As she walked over there she spoke to jade. "I don't mind wearing fur, but only when I know where it came from and I don not trust any thing on Nar Shaddar, hmm what about this. she held up a blue trimmed white sleeveless short dress over her body and turned to jade. "Thoughts?"

Jade nodded and followed her as she moved to a different rack, adjusting the shoulders on his coat. Tilting his head to the side at her question, he eyed the dress quietly for a moment.
Well, the cut is nice enough, though I won't know for sure until I see it on you how you would truly look in it.
He stated honestly. Fortunately for him, he'd gone shopping for quite a few dresses with his mother and sister when he was younger, so he had an eye for such things. Well, as much of one as a man could have any way.

"Well, we'll just have to find a dressing room." Sunomi looked around the store finally spotting a cubicle little area in the center. She grabbed jade with one hand as she held the dress in the other and pulled jade along with her. The little lady manning the desk as sunomi and jade approached smiling warmly at them as they pasted. "Here we are." letting go of her color she entered the room and closed the door before deciding to peak out and looked at jade and sticking her tongue out at him."Peak, and I'll spank you over mine knee." She giggled as she quickly pulled back into the room and locked the door behind her indulging in another laugh to herself as she quickly disrobed and pulled the dress on. She struggled a little getting the tight fitting dress over her rump before she reached around to the fasteners on her back. After a bit of a fight with the pair by her neck she finally managed to get the thing closed all the way and slowly opened the door. "Tada! so.." She did a little spin for jade. "What do you think?"

After being dragged over to the dressing rooms, Jade nearly had to skid to a halt on the tile floor, only barely stopping himself before running into one of the chairs, and all this just in time to hear her last comment before the door closed behind her. Putting the heel of his palm to his forehead, Jade sighed and looked apologetically to the woman behind the counter. The older woman giggled slightly and shook her head.
Oh, don't even bother apologizing young man. I'm sure your wife there will calm down soon enough. Most do...it's just the newly wed excitement. I'm sure you'll be able to...
Mortified and blushing at the fact that the woman had gotten the wrong impression, Jade held up a hand and waved it while shaking his head.
No, you misunderstand....she's not my....we're not...you see....it's not what you....
The woman made an "oh!" face and was about to say something when Sunomi appeared again, and both looked at her as if they'd been caught doing something they shouldn't have. Jade's eyes widened even farther as he looked Sunomi over. The dress was indeed stunning on her, but...something about the cut just wasn't right...though he couldn't put a finger on it. Part of his mind told him to say something, but he found himself speechless at the moment and could only manage to stare at her, his blush still not quite gone.
