Cori’iana’s heart beat rapidly and her stomach grew more and more unsettled as she drew closer to the designated landing site for the Baethean delegation.  Wanting to appear stronger than what she felt, Cori’iana passed Meellen to Biala, who showered the cat in ear scritches as they walked.

True to her word, Ziv was waiting at the landing site for them.  Knowing that her nervousness might betray her through her words, Cori’iana opted to acknowledge Baethean’s senator with a nod which Ziv returned.  She knew that once the Baethean vessel was landed that her nerves would steel, like they always did.  But Cori’iana couldn’t help but play with the bracelet Obi-Wan had given her to self-sooth as she waited for the vessel to come into sight.

A few minutes later, the aircraft came into view.  Cori’iana stood a little taller from her place between Ziv and Biala.  By the time the ramp of the Baethean royal cruiser touched the ground, Cori’iana was ready for whatever harsh judgement and cruel comments she was about to receive.  She steadied herself with a diplomatic smile, which she could only hope would unsettle Lady Catalea as much as the future monarch of Baethea unsettled her.

As to be expected, Lady Catalea seemed to gracefully float down the ramp as any royal should, looking elegant and sure of herself, but the fire behind her eyes was unmistakable. Cori’iana could feel Lady Catalea’s judging eyes cast harshly upon her scrutinizing everything from her dress of blue silk with silver circlets on the bodice to her dark tresses cascading down her back.  But Cori’iana had anticipated this since this moment she knew Lady Catalea would be descending in terror upon Naboo.
