Jove adjusted his jacket standing atop a stoop that belonged to a rather luxurious looking mansion. He had arrived in this colony that sat within the capital cluster just an hour ago. While here in the Jupiter sphere he was not only here for the purchase of ships and equipment, but also to poke around for potential allies. See where people stood and what not. Unlike his friend, Jove was not tagged by Citrio's father the moment he entered into the Jupiter Sphere. Whether he was viewed as too small time or too distant to worry about did not matter. All that mattered was his ability to move about without consequence. But, at the same time he had to be careful of what he said to people. Breathing out he would ring the doorbell and await someone to answer the door.

After the doorbell rang, Jove wouldn't be able to hear any sounds from the other side of the door. For a little while, it would almost seem like no one was home. But after a while longer, he would eventually hear the footsteps of someone as the reached the door before turning the handle and opening it. On the other side of the door was a dark-skinned girl with silver, almost white hair. She was nicely dressed, not surprising considering the home she lived in. She didn't open the door all the way, still holding it as she looked at Jove.
"Hello," Sara said as she looked at Jove. "Can I help you?"

"Hi, I'm Jove." he would say with a pause."Of the Quentin Family?" he said not sure if they would recognize them."I was wondering if I could come in and maybe have a chat?" he asked.

Just judging by Sara's facial expression as she listened to him, it was likely hard for Jove to tell if she did recognize the name or not. But she remained by the door as he continued to speak, listening to his request. "Well... my father isn't home right now. He's at work and won't be home until later," she explained, assuming someone who'd introduced himself like he had would want to talk to her father and not actually her.

"That is fine." Jove would respond rather quickly and confidently."Could you and me chat then?" he would ask in follow up. His time in the Jupiter Sphere was limited. While he was unsure if she recognized him or his family name he had to give this a shot."Rather important business you know?" Jove would say though glanced over his shoulder before looking to her.

Sara still had a hand on the door as she answered Jove, wondering if he would decide to leave or ask more to find out when her father would be home. So she was a little surprised when he asked to speak to her instead. The dark-skinned girl looked at him for a few moments, wondering just why he wanted to talk to her instead of her father. She noticed the way he glanced over his shoulder after mentioning that it was important. "I... guess I could spare a few minutes," she eventually said, stepping back and opening the door a little more for her guest.

Jove smiled and clapped his hands when she agreed to speak with him."Excellent! Thank you very much!" he would say before walking in after she had let him inside"Now then, what I want to talk about is an important proposition." he would say with a pause."There are a few details to go over..." he said wondering if there was any place in particular she wanted to speak."An alliance between families, or at least a working relationship." he said letting her in on the vague nature of his proposal. He hoped that she was in a position to be able to talk about such things.

Sara watched Jove as he entered her home, closing the door behind him. It was a little surprising just how happy he was to be able to talk to her, even after she'd told him that her father wasn't home. Of course, he and her mother were never home. It had become quite the point of irritation for the teen. But, keeping her focus on Jove, she couldn't help being curious about just what his proposition was. He mentioned wanting to go over a few details before he talked about creating an alliance between families.
"An alliance?" the dark-skinned girl repeated after hearing him. Her father was the head of their family... but that didn't mean she couldn't hear about this proposal and, if she liked it, push for her father to accept it. "Let's see... why don't we go into the study to talk more? Follow me," she said before she started walking, leading him toward some large doors. Inside they would find what looked like a large office with quite a large collection of books lining the walls.

"Of course." Jove said happy that she was at least intrigued to hear more about the proposal. Jove would then follow Sara after she had instructed him to follow. Upon finding themselves in the study Jove would briefly glance around impressed by the rather large collection."Your home has a rather wonderful study." he said before moving on."But yes, the alliance." he said with a brief pause."Citrio Gilliam would like for your family and him to work together in a mutually beneficial relationship." he would say before taking a seat across from where ever she would end up sitting."The times are changing fast as he is looking for families in the Jupiter sphere with an eye for the future to support his return. I am him believe your family has such n eye."

Sara led Jove into the study, a smile on her face when she heard what he said about it. "Thank you. It's... nice to have," she said, leading him over toward a sitting area with several chairs. She sat down, motioning for him to sit along with her. This would make a good place for the two of them to speak.
Now that they had some privacy, she was able to learn more about the alliance Jove had wanted to speak to her about. To be honest, Sara had never paid much attention to politics in the Jupiter Sphere. It was always something her father handled. And even if she had been interested, she had always been kept so busy with all the different lessons her parents had her talking while growing up.
But lately she'd been less and less satisfied with how things were for her. It always seemed like her own feelings and thoughts on different subjects were brushed aside by her parents. They gave her the things she wanted, but they didn't seem to pay much attention to her. There were times she felt almost like a prize or trophy brought out only to show off to friends and acquaintances, then put away. In her mind, if they wouldn't treat her with the respect she felt she deserved, maybe she should make them.
"A mutually beneficial relationship?" she asked, thinking about the things Jove was telling her. "If my family agreed to something like this... What would we get out of it? What would you want from us?" Knowing what was required and what could be gained from this alliance seemed like the most important things to the silver-haired teen.

"Yes indeed." Jove said pointedly with a confident smile."Mutually beneficial..." he paused as he leaned forward a little."My dearest friend Citrio wishes implement a form of Monarchy with Neo Feudalism. If your family sides with us? Well, let me just say that their holdings would increase significantly. Not to mention, I am lead to believe his most loyal supporters will ave a seat on his council. A powerful position to have to be certain." he would say before leaning back a little."As for what we would want? We would like to use the facilities your family owns for supply and bases of operation. Any ships you have to lend to the cause would be greatly appreciated."
