Alucard stepped out of the air cab that and walked around Aldera's market place. As could be expected, the capital city, home of many of the planets nobles, and the seat of it's government, contained numerous shops selling the finest of things. Beautiful jewelry set with prescious stones. Masterful works of art created by the galaxy's finest artists. Priceless antiques for auction to the highest bidder.
And of course, the fine clothing which the two bounty hunters had come to purchase.
Alucard entired a particularly fine clothing shop and began to walk around looking at the various clothes hung upon the rack. They came in all sorts of colors. Colorful dress was customary among Alderaanians.
Finally he settled on a fine silk tunic of deep violet, a red satin vest, and midnight blue trousers. Hisown shoes from his high class lifestyle on Corellia would suffice for the event.
Turning to Resei, he spoke.
"As you no doubt have noticed, those on Alderaan prefer to dress in bright colors. such as these." As he said this, he held out the clothes he had picked for himself for Resei's examination. "Find something for yourself that is colorful, and made from fine materials.
Moving closer, he spoke with his voice low. "It may be a bit on the expensive side, but when we get paid, I'm sure the cost will be more than made up for."
Raising his voice back to it's previous volume, he said, "go find yourself something to wear, I'm going to go pay for this, change clothes, and I'll meet you out front."
With that, he approached the cashier and placed his items on the counter.
"How much for these items?" he asked pleasantly.
The cashier smiled.
"That will be 75 Credits Sir, welcome to Aldera. The Viceroy and Senator, Bail Organa is back in the capital once again!"
The manager of the shop came forward.
"Yes yes, we know...... Is there anything else we can help you with Sir?"
"Actually, if you have a place where I can change into these, I would greatly appreciate it," he said, as he handed over the 75 credits.
The cashier smiled pleasantly and pointed him to one of the dressing rooms.
"Thank you very much," he said, and proceeded to enter the room and change. When he was finished, he tucked his previous clothes in his bag and stepped out front to wait for Resei to complete his shopping.
Hrmpf... Fine clothes my ****... I bet they are uncomfortable as H**l... Resei thought. But still, he went to a bunch of fine robes.
He touchde them, and was shockingly surprised. How good they were to the touch! It was the first time he had felt silk to his body, and it felt so pleasant. For a long while he just stood there, touching them with a glacy look in his eyes, not reacting before the cashier made a noice ("Hahem... you gonna buy those?")
Why not? Resei thought. If he did not like it (a terrible lie) they could prooove useful more than once, and as Alucard had said- the price of the mission would make up for the cost of the clothes, most certain.
He picked a White tunic, littleblue pants and a littleblue west.
"I'll have these ones, sir. How much?" He said to the casier, still feeling the soft silk to his body.
"Same as your friend, Sir. 75 Credits..."
Resei put 75 credits at the table.
"Just got to go and try those on", he smiled and went to the testing room.
when he was (more than) happy with the clothes and how they fit/ looked on him, he went out to meet Alucard. then they togheter walked... Uh... somewhere to find an item Resei could "Mind-read" to find out where the disks were...
