[for_everyone]

Hera enters the Bar, holding a slender metal box between her hands. She blinks around, her grip on the box growing a little tighter, maybe deciding whether or not she wants to stay this time.

In the end, she does, moving through the room until she takes a seat at a table near the Bar. She sets the box down and aside, and then orders red leaf tea from a waitrat. It's served cold, and very bitter, and she sips at it while watching the room, and maybe purposefully not glancing down to the box.

"All right."

She can't expect more than that.

"If that is all," Thrawn says, after another long moment of waiting, "I should doubtless get back to writing. There's still a great deal of information your republic is owed, and I came here in order to better get it done."

Her mouth quirks, barely, before she can stop herself. She lifts her glass to finish off her tea, then closes the lid of her box again, picking it up off the table.

"Goodbye, Thrawn."

One corner of his mouth quirks faintly upward, as well, though his expression is doubtless more rueful than Hera's.

"Farewell, General."
