" - Would it be alright, if she found out about the - romantic relationship?"

"It would be. She's likely guessed by now, close as she is to you."

Little smile. 

"I'd like it if - I could tell her. You're really important to me and Sangua, and - we want our important people to know about each other, and I don't want to hide my feelings for you... Even if I can't exactly shout how much I love you from the rooftops just yet."

Kiss.

"Then tell her. We'll deal with it."

Kiss!

"Thank you, Mistress."

"As I said. Anything for you."

She might be a little late getting back at this rate, with how distracted she's getting kissing her Elesse.

Just one more thing to explain, alas.

Though there's really only one underlying explanation...

Ties everything up into almost as neat a bow as Elesse will do to Nexuha next time...

Mean, to threaten something like that just as she's leaving...

Got to keep Nexuha's attention somehow, doesn't she. There are so many competing interests...

"Not for this. Especially not for me kneeling..."

"That's what I like to hear, kitten."

Kiss! "Your kitten."

"All mine."

She melts into Elesse a little bit, a soft moan in her throat. 

Elesse enjoys it for a moment, then breaks off and spins Nexuha around by the shoulders. "Time to go, now."

Whine!

But: "Yes, ma'am..."

"Good kitten. Off with you." And a swat on the bum to send her on her way.

Giggle! 

And off with her. 

And not very much later, Elesse gets a message that Jedi Master Palpatine would like to speak with her. Casually and unofficially, and at her leisure.

Senator Vendar always has time for her, of course. Perhaps they could do lunch?

She'd be delighted. 

Wonderful. She will arrange reservations.
