It is amazing the kinds of places you could get into with enough confidence. As long as she keeps her nose high, her expression and her tentacles arranged just so, no one spared her a second glance. Which was good, because she had a meeting to get to, whether or not the other member knew it, and there was little that was going to get in the way of business.
Any more than it was going to get in the way of itself. Fucking mouthbreathers.
If this was her first venture into the palace, she might be more unsure, more uncomfortable finding a place to settle in, but this is merely a deal being refreshed, not made anew. Their illustrious leader should not be surprised when he happens upon her, her position chosen specifically so he will come across her.
And when he does? Well she is the picture of innocence, staring out over the city, a faraway look in her eyes, a small box being turned over and over in her hands.
