She drinks.

"I believe I like the future."

Drink. "It has its good points."

"Good food, technological convenience,a galaxy free of Sith and Jedi, tolerable company..."

"I'd say the company's gotten rather better, lately."

"That it has. This has been one the more enjoyable evenings I've had."

"I'm glad, and - same, for me. You're a delight to talk to."

"Indeed. Intelligent conversation that shares your areas of interest is to be treasured."

"It's a rare treat."

She smiles.

Pretty.

Ani is not a teenager so she doesn't melt into a puddle because a pretty girl like Elesse smiled at her, but she does grin back.

"I wouldn't object to future enjoyable evenings, either."

"Is that so? I shall have to see how my calendar fills."

"I'm sure you'll have quite a few intelligent, pretty girls clamoring for your attention."

"Though rather fewer who are Force-sensitive."

"That does narrow the field, yes."

"I suppose we must then ask how busy you are."

"I don't have much of a social life. There's some work, and my students - but they're often busy. As long as I'm on Coruscant I should have most evenings free."

"It sounds like we can mesh fairly easily, then."

"Good."

"So unwilling to let me go, already?"

"I think by now I'm pretty good at telling when I've got someone great in front of me."

"The benefits of long practice?"

"Exactly so. Helps separate out the best of the crowd."

"I won't deny I am the best."

"It'd be silly to; it's all quite self evident."

"And only such a short time you've known me."
