    Summary

    A known collector visits Galactic Antiquities and Objects of Interest. Kleya Marki wonders if it is coincidence, a deliberate snare, or a golden opportunity. Two of these turn out to be true.

     

    It took every ounce of restraint to not show the surprise, the burst of incredulous laughter at his audacity. “It is a large galaxy,” she said, echoing herself from earlier. “Rumors have a great deal of room to travel. And exaggerate.”

     

    “I find they are not as exaggerated as one might think,” Thrawn replied. “Especially with the promise of your discretion.”

     

    She considered him. He was asking for a black-market piece without even a hint of subtlety, and that meant he was either assured of her compliance or was laying a careful trap. Perhaps both.

     

    “And if I were to have discretion?” she asked.

     

    He paused, his gaze sweeping over her, a silent, meticulous inventory that summarized, itemized, and neatly footnoted her before she could bristle at the implied assessment. A flicker of satisfied intellectual curiosity softened the hard line of his mouth. “I am confident,” he said, “that we will find much to discuss.”

    A.K.A.: Everyone has to share a bed.

    Strictly for survival reasons, of course.

    Summary

    “Sabacc is not a fight, sabacc is life. You can bring all the skill and cleverness you want, but there's always going to be that unknown factor, the parts you can't control. It's civilized in its chaos. The most civilized game in the galaxy."
    Palpatine decides to play sabacc with the Senate, Thrawn gets involved, and it goes… just as well as can be expected.

    Mon Mothma trudges back to Luthen’s boutique to return her would-be gift for her husband Perrin. To her surprise, a new client is there: a curious, art-loving admiral.

But when Thrawn pulls her into a surprisingly insightful conversation, Mon realizes that she has a better idea.

    That evening, Admiral Thrawn shows up to their dinner party.
