Other redheads weren't her usual type when it came to taking a female client, but something about the mischief in the smile in the picture included with Nicola's request for her time drew her in. She looked like a woman who knew how to have fun and wouldn't take herself too seriously. A cocktail party and poker tournament sounded amusing as well and seeing as how the <em>Man's Ruin</em> was still being repaired she had time enough to take the contract and earn some credits&nbsp; to pay her rent with before they actually left Persephone. <br><br>And, if only to herself, she's admit that knowing the Captain would likely twitch at seeing two redheads together amused her greatly! Depending on the type of woman Nicola turned out to be, she might even share the inside joke with her. <br><br>The only thing she found odd was that only the woman's contact details were provided. Normally this happened when a client preferred their contracts to be more private, but the woman wanted a Companion for a party and poker tournament...neither of which was private. Of course it was a party and tournament in a private home, so perhaps she considered that private enough. There would really be no knowing until she met the woman and could properly look her over. <br><br>Making her decision she reached up and pulled the pins that were keeping her hair off her neck, letting the rich, red, mass tumble around her face and shoulders in gentle waves. She knew the sheer black of her simple gown let tantalizing teases of flesh be seen and enjoyed the contrasts it would pose as she connected her Cortex and prepared to send a simple wave. She wouldn't pull Nicola from whatever she was doing at the moment but would send a simple video message along with the standard terms and contract for the entire evening. The woman would be renting Shey's time from 7pm the following evening (giving an hours leeway for them to meet and have a drink privately before the party if the client preferred) until 10am the next morning. If those times weren't acceptable then Nicola could, of course, send back another wave and adjust them accordingly and payment would be adjusted as well. Being a standard, overnight, contract, private contact, up to and including sexual congress, was included if the client wished. <br><br>With just the simple offer and picture, Shey actually didn't have a read on if this was the type of woman who would hire out for sex, or simply wanted the charm, touch of prestige (hiring a Companion all but screamed you had money to burn!), and lack of commitment that came with having a Companion on your arm. It would be interesting to find out.&nbsp; <br><br>As the Cortex pulled up, she leaned back in her chair, a vision of relaxed opulence as she let a slow, inviting, smile curve her lips before she started speaking, "Nicola, it was a pleasure to receive your offer and even more of one to accept. Attached to this wave is the standard contract for my services. If anything needs to be changed please don't hesitate to contact me and we will adjust accordingly. If everything is acceptable to you, you need only sign and send your driver to pick me up at 7pm tomorrow evening. I look forward to our time together," she all but purred, "Until then," she finished and touched the Cortex to send her message turn it off.<br><br>Content with her choice in clientele she rose from her seat, pulled her thick mane of hair into a loose ponytail and moved toward her closet. She was going to go out now and see what was happening on her new ship. She thought she'd also go over the shuttle she was going to be renting. She needed to take measurements for the rugs and tapestries she would need to decorate it and turn it from a cold shuttle to a welcoming oasis of serenity. There was no need to hang about just waiting for her Cortex to chirp at her. If Nicola needed to modify the contract she would, but she wasn't going to sit around like some pre-pubescent girl waiting for her crush to call, until it happened.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://imageshack.com/a/img819/677/52yfc.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Nicola Livia Douglas<br><strong>Location:</strong> Her home on Persephone, Southdown Hills<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Sheydran Corsei<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> A blue satin dress<br><br><hr><br>It wasn't often that a Registered Companion visited Persephone. Word of Shey's arrival had preceded her, as some of Nicola's lady friends knew all the news and gossip. She'd intended just to view Shey's profile, but a few minutes had turned into hours as she pored over the Companion database. What had begun as curiousity bloomed into interest, enough that she requested Shey's company on the night of Mason Kincaid's party. She was fascinated, not just by her beauty, but felt compelled to meet her. The merest notion of time spent alone set her stomach aflutter with butterflies, but first she would have to see what Shey thought of her request. She might prefer a male client, after all, or a woman of different traits than her own.<br><br>Nicola knew the Companions Guild didn't have much information on her, and in part that was because she'd never hired a Companion before. She gave the required details and little more, hesitant to give out information except where necessary, but she hoped it wouldn't go against her either. She saw it as taking little steps, even though contacting Shey at all was more akin to taking a plunge. One she enjoyed already, whether the lady chose her or not. Nicola wondered what she would be like to speak to, dance with.. touch. It was like a mystery, where she wished to find pieces of a greater puzzle and assemble them, a bit at a time.<br><br>She felt excited and bubbly, more than she could remember, as she waited for Shey to contact her. Would she send her a wave? Nicola had dressed especially nicely, just in case. Shey's video arrived sooner than she'd expected, and Nicola watched the flashing light for long moments before she triggered the video to watch it. She settled down on a padded seat in front of her dressing table, where the cortex screen sat on the wall above it. It intrigued her - the personality of this woman - Shey, as it shone through in the recording. She found herself watching it several times before the details of the contract and the terms sank in.<br><br>It was longer still before she sent a recording of her own. The young socialite appeared quite relaxed as she greeted her potential Companion. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sheydran. I'm.. surprised but very pleased that you selected me.. my.. request. The party begins at 8 and I'd envisioned being there around 7.30, so it would be a good time to meet. I would like to meet you there as I have some business to attend to first, so I will send a driver for you as you request. You would.. will staying at my home overnight." Here a blush coloured Nicola's cheeks ever-so-slightly, enough to suggest she was considering a lively evening.<br><br>"I will sign and have the credits transferred to your account tonight and the contract as you have it is fine. You should know that the event is a cocktail party and poker tournament. I will be wearing a dark green cocktail dress." She said this with a smile, as if she looked forward to it in particular. "I look forward to meeting you in person." The video ended there, and Shey wouldn't have seen the look of 'Oh my god, am I really going to do this? Yes. Yes I am!' that Nicola gave herself,&nbsp; after that video was done.<br>
