OOC: Timeline wise this is after the Press Conference about the Vren and the same day as the bachelorette auction thread.

They had been dropped off near the Square and Ren slipped their hand into their wife’s, giving a squeeze. Jeannette smiled. As far as new assignments went, Oed was definitely an interesting one. Beyond the work (and the difficult days ahead she expected), there was a vibrancy to the colony that they ere enjoying getting to know. Their son on the other hand, while cooperative, seemed less than enthused.

“Do I have to be here? Can’t I just stay home?” the teen boy grumbled, straggling behind them.
“Well, I suppose you can just hide out back at the apartment like a hermit,” Jeannette said over her shoulder.
Jessie perked up. “Really?”
“No,” Ren said and the adults exchanged a grin. They were a little worried about him settling into life here but it would take time. Until discussions about the permanent embassy had been triggered by the Governor and Lieutenant Governor and things had moved forward in a positive way with the Vren, they hadn’t even been sure they were staying. Now they knew they were and could plan accordingly. At least Jessie had been the one to suggest attending a public school, as complicated as that could be. Jeanette wanted him to have that experience but also wouldn’t have forced it on him. Dragging him out of his room on the other hand she was perfectly fine with.

With security in close proximity the ambassador and her family meandered into the market.

It was at a stall selling local jams and jellies that a voice said “Good morning, Ambassador. Fine day for the market, don’t you think?” The speaker was a striking human man with brown hair and bright green eyes. He was wearing a loose fitting linen shirt and light weight slacks. He had a bag over his shoulder with some breads and fresh vegetables. He smiled at her security and then approached to an arms length distance form her. “Jason Reilly, Ambassador. A pleasure.” and he held out his hand.

Similarly dressed casually, Jeannette almost always had gave the impression that she was dressed to jump into work if needed- which she was. Her blue eyes took him in, searching his face. Then a moment of recognition as she closed the distance and shook his hand. “Mr. Reilly, I do believe we’ve before, at one of the embassy functions on Coridan?”

Mathis gestured to her family. “This is my spouse, Ren, and my son Jessie.” Jessie gave a small unenthusiastic wave, though stopping before being impolite. Ren smiled and reached out to shake Reilly’s hand.
