Jonil nodded at the youth who opened the door, noting, but not really paying attention, leaving the tipping to the Green-eyed Lady. On the outside the Starsong Inn looked like any other upper-classed hotel establishment. However The Starsong Inn was privately owned(with strong backing from Pallwall Ind.) and inside you could really see the time, care and money that was put into its creation.
Waxed, glossy black marble tile floors, with glided gold edges reflected the muted, blue tinted sunlight. A light, pleasent smell drifted along with the sound of muted bird song from the buildings pleasure garden, further in the back. A lush, clean black and gold carpet lead the way to the front desk, greeting one as though every visitor was consider royality, slient black marble pillars their guardians. Even the front desk was made of the uniform black marble, the Starsong Inn emblem emblazed in the marble in gilded gold, shining proudly.
Yes the Starsong was indeed impressive and it did so with grace. Even with the dark coloring of the marble the place still seemed warm, welcoming and perhaps the most importantly, relaxing. In a world of sharks competeing for the best deal relaxation was often ignored as begin lax usuall meant letting your guard down as well. And like any type of battle letting your guard down for even a moment could destroy you. So it wasn't surprising that a few well to do investors had a residence here as well; a personal get away spot where no one could bother them unless they allowed them to do so. Jonil himself had three such suites here, and it was one such one that he had come to visit today.
Like most days the main lobby area was quiet and almost deserted save the moving around of a few indvivdiuals moving about their way. Most people where still asleep given the hour so Jonil didn't even have to wait to walk up to the front desk. Looking at the middle aged man who currently had his eyes on the Green-eyed Lady who was currently writing something down, he let him enjoy eyeing her for a moment before clearing his throat.
" Oh-ah, good morning Mister Jonil Sir, how can we of the Starsong Inn be of service to you this fine morning?"
" Nothing much just came to see if a friend of mine managed to make his way here last night, and if so do you mind letting him know that we are coming up?"
" Ah...THAT guy...yes. He arrived and is currently staying in the quarters you've set aside for him. I'll let him know your on your way up."
that was all Jonil needed to hear. Turning he produced a small, silver orb in his hand and walked to the special set of elevators that would take him to the permante suites, the Green Eyed Lady close behind him. Stepping up to the black and gold doors he placed the orb in the socket designed for it and the doors opened. Stepping in the elevator moved by itself to the already pre-arranged data rising to the level of his four suites.
"Your mind should not be wondering on the person I was yesterday, but rather the person I happen to be today."
