Merk entered Ni'kolis' private offices and checked to see if he had any messages. Seeing nothing of importance he tapped politely on her door which was centered on the back wall of his own office.

"Come." Was her simple reply.

Merk entered and gave a short bow to his Chief of State. "Madam, a moment of your time."

"Of course Merk, what is it? Would you like some caf?" Lady Sz'on-ya was well known for keeping her own professional level caf machine in her office so she didn't have to wait for her own assistant or anyone else's to bring her a lukewarm cup at some undetermined time.

"Thank you ma'am but no. I have a small issue and I'd like your advice." He proceeded to tell the Chief of state about the conversation he'd had with the Gand receptionist regarding Masters Kenobi. She listened with an interested frown and a couple of eye rolls at the stupidity of procedure.

"Well that doesn't exactly make us look very good now does it? Get the cleaning droids into my private lounge and have a simple meal ready for them when they arrive. In the mean time have CZ-13 collect them and take them on a nice tour of the gardens to give the cleaning droids some time to do their jobs. I'll speak to the Kenobis personally. I'm sure whatever it is the need is something within my power to grant without the Senate and if it's not at least my input will hold sway on the results. If Gert is anything like her father it's unlikely that she's making an unreasonable request."

Merk bit his tongue when Ni' mentioned the protocol droid. The CZ line were well known for being somewhat neurotic and temperamental almost to the point of whinyness. He sincerely hoped that legendary Jedi patience was actual and not simply the product of over imaginative holos. "As you wish ma'am." He bowed again and left to handle things as she'd requested.

Ni looked thoughtfully out the large window of her office, a bemused smile on her lips. Gert Yonsz. This should be interesting she decided. More so with her bringing her somewhat less than diplomatic husband. Oh she knew Pappy well, perhaps not personally but she did know him. His position with the Alliance was well documented. She also knew both had direct links to her office so why exactly were they wasting time with the Senate when either one of them could have just rung her up directly.

She walks back in munching thoughtfully on a pastry. Picking up the data pad on the corner of her desk she sits down and gets back to work.
