Affari Esteri

[Reeves]

When she approached and offered her hand to him, it became clear that he was remarkably well groomed despite his profession and the perceived image of his people. His hair was clean and slicked back neatly, his face unblemished, everything about him evoked prestige and yet that was the nature of the system he was fighting against. When it was clear to him what she was implying by the way she offered him her hand, he went along with it. There was something surreal about revisiting that gesture after how many years had gone by since he left his old life behind, along with many of the formalities involved. Once his posture straightened back out after his lips had met her skin. he made sure to maintain eye contact at all times. It didn't seem like he was uncomfortable or intimidated being around her, if anything the grace was something which seemed mutual, though it was likely the source of it in his case was practice rather than an inherent affinity for it. And that was hardly surprising given what he was raised to do.

"Good to hear." He nodded once emphatically, wearing a subtle smile on his face for the moment. Even if there was quite a contrast in their choices of attire, it wasn't as if his suit was poorly made or didn't have some degree of stylishness to it. Colored a calm shade of grey, accented by black and any risk of monotony that this pairing might create was broken up by the bright LFR stars on his shoulders which openly displayed allegiance. The neat collar featured his crest on one side and what looked like a rank insignia on the other, a variety of small ribbons were mounted towards a corner of the chest area, displaying accolades or perhaps involvement in major conflicts.

With those formalities out of the way, he pulled a chair out and waited for her to be seated in it, his manners extending beyond what he was prompted to do. Presumably, he was waited for both of them to sit down before getting to the actual 'meat' of why they were here."Would you like anything to drink?" The fact he asked expressed that there was likely some room service system attached to these meeting halls. She had some time to consider the offer, at least as long as it took for him to slowly walk around the table in order to reach the other chair. If she decided against it, then he would sit down and let the process start.
