Julius turned and eyed his friend with a sense of peculiarity. He shook his head, “Come, come, you know I do enjoy women very much, especially after parties. But marriage is another thing. I have been putting it off for as long as I could but I do believe it is my duty to my family to produce and heir, and soon. You wouldn’t happen to know any eligible maidens of high standing would you?”
He turned back to the scenic view after asking the question, expecting his friend to say that he didn’t know anyone Julius could potentially marry.

Donald laughed but grew silent in consideration. He looked to Julius and smiled, "Their's always my Cousin...the Queen herself." Donald found the thought amusing...that would make Julius related to him in almost everyway possible. Political, marriage, buiness, such a close bond. Donald obserbed his beautiful home and nodded, "She is a very nice woman, but she keeps to herself mostly. She loves Corellia more than herself. I don't know if she'd be interested." Donald smirked and turned back to Julius, "I know you couldn't resist the chance at power though."

Julius chuckled. He knew the King's daughter to be advanced in years herself, however the politcal possibilities of the marriage. He liked the idea of it. She was also Julius' cousin, so he had not considered her at first. She would need a king, potentially heirs. He scorned the thought of producing heirs with her but, if that is what needed to be done. A plan formed in his mind, he was always scheming some new plot to advance himself. He would take the offer and see if he could move in on the King spot. "Perhaps you are right. I would not do it for the power though. Our cousin has not carried on the noble king's lineage. Perhaps with my help the Royal blood may continue in an unbroken line?"
He laughed. Thinking about it was easy, doing it would be hard. How would he go about the proposition? How would he ensure that all believed his pure intentions. And afterwards, how could he make sure that his position remained unchallenged.
He walked along the windows, admiring the view more, contemplating the possibilities. He did not believe he could be very happy with the Queen for long, but their were ways around that. He chuckled again, perhaps he would become like his father? That would be quite amusing. The apple does not fall far from the tree, or so they say.

Donald laughed and looked to Julius, "You must not forget, even with her age she is quite beautiful. We haven't spoken in a while but she is quite charming herself...Old but still charming. You might be surprised you might like her." Donald spoke honestly his cousin was a wonderful woman. The people of Corellia loved her and she had helped them many times. She had also helped Donald with his many programs for advancing Corellia and the galaxy, "She doesn't speak of many people, but she has spoken of you and rather highly...as the whole planet has. I'm surprised you've never become friends. Your intrests are simlar, and your both good people." Donald smirked and obserbed the beauty of the mansion. His home was nice but not nearly as extravagant as this. He would imagan Julius became lost in it at least once. He wouldn't mind getting lost himself every inch of it was more beautiful than the last. Donald looked to his friend and tried to see what he was thinking, he couldn't get the exact thoughts just generally...usually the mood of the thoughts. They seemed caculating but still pleaseant. That was good, he had spoken nicely of his cousin but he hadn't spoken one sobering fact. His cousin was unhappy, she had wanted to marry for years but never found a good spouse....Donald hoped Julius wouldn't take advantage of her.

He smiled and turned to look at his friend. He was amused to see him looking about Julius' home. It was very queer that a man of noble lineage did not have a home similar to his. Perhaps Julius' ancestors and Julius himself thought more about homely pleasures than Donald and his. Julius wasn't sure exactly how he and this man were related, but they had to be. He could check the Royal Histories, but it would just reveal the tangled mess of things that were royal lineages. He knew he was closely related to the queen though, but Royalty often married close he supposed.
Finally after he flashed his smile he bounced slightly on the balls of his feet with his hands behind him and said, "Yes, I would do it. To make the queen happy and secure the lineage of our noble family. Perhaps I should send an envoy with the message and a few gifts. Perhaps a yatch. Yes, a yatch of the finest quality, that should do. She is a most remarkable woman."
He paused and brought his thoughts back down to the present, "You are quite the friend, to both myself and the queen. If all works according to plan, I am sure I can see that you benefit in some way."

Donald laughed and turned to his friend, "Julius! My cousin maybe old but you must understand she is looking for romance still." Donald smiled he felt he was explaining something to a child, "Many men have tried that before she will ingnore it all. You must capture her heart." Donald knew how ridicluous he sounded to Julius but Donald knew his cousin and he spoke the truth, "I am going to see her before I end my trip, you could occapany me stating you have political buiness to speak with her about. Which I'm sure you actually do. Then see what happens. Bah this buiness of gifts, she's been surrounded by wealth yours shall not impress her." Donald was in high spirits still and his tone didn't hide the fact. Julius would need to become quite the romantic and quickly if he was to steal her attetion. Hopefully he would see that before he did anything to hastely.

A sly smile went across Julius' face. If romance is what she wanted, he was probably the best person for it. He was famous for his charisma, his ability to win the hearts of those around him and capture their attention when he spoke. This would be easy. He had no end of natural charisma, any with his secret force abilities for persuation to take care of those who were not readily convinced, there was little he could not make people believe. His father had taught Julius all he knew and using the force to his advantage was one of them. This would probably be easier than he thought.
He wiped to smile off his face and looked his friend in the eyes, "If it is romance she desires, I tell you, she shall find it here. I will not go with you on official business, in fact, my presence will be a secret till I meet her. I will then begin. I assure you, wedding invitations will soon be sent across the planet."
He laughed, the sun shone brightly on him now and he turned away from the window and began walking towards the dining hall. "Come my friend, there is still much to discuss and I am feeling famished. Care for something?"
He was thinking now, and had freed himself of all the trappings of formality. With the business meeting they previously had out of his mind, he now felt more at ease and impulsive.

Donald nodded and smiled, "Yes I think I do." He followed his friend into the dining hall and was seated. He got comftrable and then laughed, "Don't become insulted if I can't make it. I feel the senate shall keep me occupied for some time." Donald drank a glass of water down slowly and polietly whipped his lips. He looked around the giant dining hall in amazement. The ornaments of war and Corellia were beautiful in the firelight caused from the fireplace. He looked down to his hands and then back up to his friend, "She'll make a wonderful wife...and a better mother." Donald said the firelight in his eyes showing his seriousness. Behind his eyes he hoped Julius could tell what he meant. What his eyes showed was simple; don't hurt her...and if Julius did Donald would not be happy. But this wasn't a time for such thoughts and on a year ago they wouldn't have crossed Donald's mind. But the stress of running for Surpeme Chancellor had changed things. "Anyway....what shall we be having? Your pets?" Donald's old smile returned and he became in good spirits.

Julius could feel his friend's concern through the force, it bothered him slightly. Why would he think he would hurt her? It puzzeled Julius but he did not dwell on it for long. Julius shook his head no. "Unfortunately, I had one of my pets yesterday and now I am feeling for something less gamey. I fancy soup and fruits, grown here on my estate."
He would have to shake this feeling from Donald as it was not one that sat well with him. He was never known to hurt anyone, he knew Donald's worry to just be anxiety over his friend, still he did not want any thought of Julius hurting the queen.

Donald laughed and turned to his side noticing on of the pets laid it's head in his lap. He petted it and looked into it's eyes. He then looked into Julius and laughed, "He's got your eyes. Proud, happy, and honest." Donald grin grew and he moved the animal out of his lap. He looked to the servants and asked for one of his favorite dishes. The server gave him a strange look and Donald laughed, "If Julius is as rich as he is I'm sure his cook will know what I want." The Server just trusted Donald and looked back to Julius,
"You asked about my son earlier...do you know what happened my friend? It's not a happy story but it's a story." Donald found he wanted to tell Julius. For some reason he felt maybe he was the last person who needed to hear the story. That he wouldn't have to tell him again if he told Julius. He didn't understand the feeling but felt like moving on it.

Julius stopped smiling as he realized that the conversation once again became serious. He quickly whispered his order to the servant and she left them alone in a flash. Julius could tell that the subject was not only important to Donald, but burning him inside. He sat with his right leg resting on his left and listened intently on what his friend was about to say. "Please, I wish to hear it."

Donald nodded and thought of where to begin. He found the spot as before, he'd told it many times before. He told the story in a monotone voice mostly trying to hold back the well of emotion, he sounded as a dead man. "My son Daren was located by the Jedi as one strong in the force. I loved my son and after long consideration we allowed him to become a Jedi. He was then cast into their ranks. For the first 18 years of his life he blosemed in the training. He was one of the best Jedi they had. He left with another Jedi and never returned. The Jedi told me he was missing but presumed dead. They didn't give me any details, just that he had died. The rest I had found out through other Jedi and through transport logs kept on Coursaunt. The Council refused to tell me anything as I begged for answers. Recently a Jedi informed me they believed he was alive. I never got an answer directly from the Council this was all second hand and in secret. I believe he is alive, I also believe the Council has no idea what happened and tried to cover it up...Though I don't blame them nor hate them for it. As it stands my son is unknown. I don't know why I told you...maybe it's because I've trusted you with much over the years and your advice is always sound." Donald cleared his throat and drinked his water. He shrugged and spoke, "That's all I know of him." He looked to his host wondering if he would even have a resposne. But this was Julius and Julius always knew what to say. Somehow, he always had something and something is what Donald needed.

Julius grew furious. His son was missing and they were sitting idle planning weddings? He was not a man for drama but breathed heavily and the expression on his face showed his mood. He drew a data pad from his jacket and began to scroll through a few listings. "This is typical of the Jedi..." his said under his breath. Julius' secret history with the jedi burned inside of him. He hated them with a passion. He would not stand to let them steal another son and lose him to the world. Julius saw Daren on the streets living as he did when he ran from the order. They didn't seem to care enough to look for him it seemed either.
Julius did not seem to be satisfied with what he saw on the data pad and looked back up to his friend. "Alive you say? If he is alive, he can be tracked. If he can be tracked, he can be found. If he can be found, he can come home safely. My friend, I swear to you, I will use whatever resources at my power to find your son. I will hire the finest bounty hunters in the world. If he is alive, we will find him I swear to you."
Julius was ready for action. He almost began to use his force when he realized he could reveal himself. His self control kept him in check though. His personal feelings for the Jedi turned this situation into a personal crusade. He had to make sure to keep his composure. He began planning and calculating in his head. Julius would use his shady connections to put a massive bounty of Daren's head, a live bounty. Every bounty hunter would be scrambling to find him. It was risky though, he would have to be careful on how he executed this around his friend.

Donald was a little shocked, he'd seen some people claim to offer support but never like this. Julius became excited working fast looking over a datapad. Donald spoke calmly, "My friend it's not neccessary he's been gone for almost ten years. How could anyone find him? No one knows what he looks like, who he's with. I know you know good bounty hunters but I just don't see it happening." Donald tapped his fingers on the table patiently. His friend seemed determined to help him with this. Donald doubted anything he said would change Julius' mind but he'd try. Donald loved his son and wanted nothing more than to find him. He had given up on that hope many years ago. He didn't really think he was alive deep inside him, but he had allowed himself to keep that just there...deep inside. Donald couldn't tell what was going through Julius' head but it was strange and it made him uneasy.

Julius looked over at his friend and calmed a little, maintaining his composure. He still believed Daren could be found, but perhaps he would have to do it in cognito. He shook his head and said sarcastically, "A lone jedi wandering about the galaxy sholdn't be too hard to find. A peice of DNA or perhaps an old photo. You see, my vornskrs hunt through the force and hunting a force user should not be very difficult. Though I suppose you may be right, I can just see several ways of accomplishing this."
He broke off, he could sense the feelings inside Donald, of dissapointment and acceptance. He knew then to stop, he did not want to upset his friend. "If it is as you said, that he is still alive, take solace in that feeling. Be happy that he still yet lives. Perhaps he will eventually be found."
He went back into the objective stance he took on most things and gave the advice he thought best for the situation.

Donald nodded and looked to his friend. He could tell Julius wanted to help but felt there was something else behind it. Never the less he trusted him. He didn't want to speak of it anymore nor hear any hopes that might never be answered. He looked to his friend and nodded a final time,
"I think I am ready to eat...my mouth is sick of talking." Donald said with a strange smile that was strangely conviensing. He rubbed his hands together and looked around the room and then back to Julius. He smiled at his friend and laughed, "You've done much for me." Donald sipped on his glass of water. His mind was wondering much and he didn't like being like this. He cleared his mind and focused in on an important matter,
"If and When I become Chancellor, who should take control of my senate position?" Donald hadn't been paying attention to Corellia politics in years he was too focused on the galatical front. No opponent had ever presented themselves so he didn't have to. He hoped Julius knew more of it than he did.

Just as he began to complain about his hunger, the servant came back with their orders . The food was cooked to perfection by the live in chef. Julius smiled as the food was placed in front of him and looked over at this friend. He was not sure. He welcomed the change of subject for the moment, it seemed as though that was what Donald wanted. "I am not sure, perhaps you may represent Corellia as the Chancellor? Perhaps a newcomer will step up to replace you. These days politics are changing, and younger and younger people are being elected. Who knows?' Julius shrugged and began to eat his food. He displayed proper etiquette while he ate, so as not to disgust his friend and to maintain the necessary habits instilled in him by his tutors. Eating finely was natural to him and any other way seemed revolting. Not even in the comfort of his own home would he withhold proper table manners.

Donald wasn't as sophisticated with his eating as his host but he was no barbairain. He nodded as his friend spoke. He had a meeting with a young senator from Alderaan soon. This was one of the many signs of that times were changing. "Yes I hope someone we both supports arrises. I want to focus on the galaxy though so Corellia wouldn't get my full attention." Donald sighed as he thought of the future he had a lot of work laid out for him. By this time next year the galaxy might be completely reshaped and at war with itself. All hope that remained is that the Republic might be ready this time.

Julius nodded in agreement, he too would like a candidate to his liking to rise to the challenge. He had a say in who became the Senator, but if only one applied, only one would be appointed. He hoped several would jockey for the position allowing him to win political favors from them. But that was for another day. "I suppose being chancellor would require a much broader appeal than just Corellia. A new candidate will come soon, until then I may be forced to represent Corellia in the Senate. Perhaps it might be entertaining?"
He laughed a little at the last part and sipped his drink. Julius always enjoyed politics, the senate floor would just be another arena for him to dominate.

"Very entertaining." Donald said with a laugh looking to Julius. He always loved to rise to any occastion. The spotlight loved Julius as much as he loved it, "You'd make a fine senator but your needed were you are as well. I think someone else will present themselves, but if not your a good choice." Donald said with a smirk and then sighed, "It won't be easy though, to whoever wins the election. The war is coming and Corellia will be at the heart of it. It is just in our nature." Donald smiled and remembered his days in the military. They weren't at war but he was still very actively engaging threats. The galaxy was dangerours normally but in a time of war it would be incredibly chaotic. He hoped it wouldn't come to that but he felt it was a long time coming. Donald leaned back in his chair and breath out, "The Galaxy has moved on."
