No, There's No Place Like Corruscant

Seeing the man's face again was certainly a shock for the Zeltron. She felt the icy chill of fear as it flooded her veins. For a brief moment Ni imagined using the Force to thrust Merrick through the glass window behind him, allowing him to plummet quickly to his death. The image was so satisfying. He was not Force Sensitive, it would be so easy.

However, Ni's mind cleared and she returned the politician's painted smile in kind. "They say absence makes the heart grow fonder!" She skipped over behind his desk and sat up on the edge of it informally, playfully kicking her feet and giggling.

"I hope you don't have hard feelings over the clone Bill thing!" Ni commented giddily even as every cell in her body screamed for her to run, "The Chancellor made me an offer that I simply could not refuse!" She reached out her hand and touched his cheek lightly, even as she fantasized dropping her hand lower to tighten around his throat, "I have to admit, this whole month that I've been away, it has been difficult not to think about you. I'd be so sad if politics ruined the connection we shared!"

His presence was overwhelming. It took all of Ni's willpower to resist her own instinct for self preservation.
