She's being challenged, that's for sure - Elesse and Sidious, between the two prongs, manage to slow her down. Force her to act more subtly. Perhaps even work on subverting or blocking some of Sidious's tricks first. (But she's a challenge in turn.)

It's almost... fun, this dance.

Master Palpatine, if nothing else, seems to be enjoying her time in the Senate (and the opportunities to invite Senator Vendar out to lunch). 

That is a bonus. She's a delightful conversationalist.

The feeling is mutual. 

She's glad they can find some common ground here.

One of many fields. 

(...So when are her mom and teacher planning to start fucking?)

They... aren't?

Is she sure about that? 

Well. She was.

'Cause this sure looks like flirting to Nexuha.

An interesting assessment. Has Nexuha given the same to Elesse's counterparty?

Not yet, though she's pretty sure Lily doesn't need to be told that she's trying to seduce Elesse.

Perhaps they've been playing a different game all along, unbeknownst to Elesse.

Maybe, maybe not. (Nexuha thinks 'yes.')

Hm. Don't spoil it, please.

She won't! 

Uh huh. She'll just have to trust her daughter on this one.

It's a pinky promise.

So be it.

Giggle kiss! And tiny wiggle. (Her Force signature seems to be doing that thing where she drifts a bit more childish.)

Pet pet.

"There was something I wanted to ask you about, Nexuha."

Snug. "What is it, mom?"

"I've noticed your presentation has been skewing younger, over the past little while. Is there anything you want to talk about?"
