Selera didn’t feel like sitting around, so she went to the doors that opened up to the balcony and went outside. The balcony was wedged into a corner of the building and was triangular in shape, stretching from one exterior wall of the building to the opposite, perpendicular wall.

When Selera finally woke, it took a few seconds before she figured out she was not still sleeping. She was disoriented and dizzy.

Selera watched Obiwan sleep. He was amazing. He had indeed been a virgin before the evening, but what he lacked in sexual experience he more than made up for in enthusiasm. She [...]

Selera was on her stomach and could hardly open her eyes. At least he didn’t leave a mark on my face, she thought.
“Get up,” said the voice again. It was Maul.
“I hate you,” she groaned.
“Good, because I shall do the same to you when you are finished with your young Padawan,” he said. [...]

Selera had become good enough at clouding her mind, that she could do it selectively. She knew she would have to keep parts of her day from Palpatine. He would want to know just about everything.
When she entered the apartment, Palpatine stood pouring himself a drink.
“There you are,” he said. “How was your day?” [...]

Their day passed quickly, and Obiwan was knowledgeable about everything she saw; he answered all of her questions with great detail. During this time, she flirted coyly, and found he returned the favor in kind. Several times during the day he tried to touch her, but she withdrew casually, turning it into a flirting [...]
