You can dress Wutroow up, but you can't take her anywhere.

Text below for the link averse.

Aristocra

Very simply, being a member of one of the Nine Ruling Families did not guarantee much of anything but a good table at a restaurant.

Aristocra

Very simply, being a member of one of the Nine Ruling Families did not guarantee much of anything but a good table at a restaurant. 

While aristocra had influence, members of the Syndicure had actual power. Chiss politics, as in the Empire, was played as a contact sport - and at times as a blood sport. Eli was not certain until he met Admiral Ar'alani and then Supreme General Ba'kif just how the politically oblivious Thrawn survived. On Csilla, in the capitol of Csaplar, he also finds out that the aristocra are fairly predatory. However, since he's the alien here, he takes tremendous pleasure in watching Ar'alani and Ba'kif send pretentious sprats backpedaling out of targeting range. He even manages to insert his Outer Rim drawl into Cheunh, much to the snooty-boots' annoyance.

However, he does find allies in the colonial Great Families. Senior Commander Kiwu'tro'owmis and he bond over mathematics and data sciences, food from street vendors, and the dark red-brown bittersweet beer of her homeworld. They also manage to set some higher-level noses out of joint in the slaying of classically-pronounced Cheunh and inserting Basic into the pure language. Tonight they are at a diplomatic function that Eli tried to plead out of earlier. Eli's pleas went to no effect as Ar'alani threatened to personally stuff him into his dress uniform and drag him by his heels. If she was going to have to suffer, so was he. Eli is explaining some Lysatran variations of Basic, including the second-person plural pronoun as they stand at a distance from the main social circle.

Wutroow is delighted. "Say it again!"

"Y'all."

"Y'ahll." Ar'alani tries.

"Blood-born girls always aspirate their consonants. It's their governesses' fault." Wutroow sniffs.

"Y'awl." Ba'kif tries as well.

"It's not a glottal stop, it's a contraction." Eli explains.

"It's a very useful term. Yol. Yol." Wutroow tries again.

"It's an atrocity."

"Ah, I thought spring had come at last in a blast of hot air. Instead it's you, Formbi." When Ar'alani wants to patrician it up, there's very few who can match her.

"It's an alien language, and that one," he points to Eli "-and that one," pointing to Wutroow, "-both slaughter proper pronunciation. The colonial has an excuse, but the alien should be taught better." Without waiting to hear a response, and perhaps as a Syndic not accustomed to any backchat, Formbi turns on his heel and stalks off.

Wutroow actually chuckles. "Don't be troubled by Lute, Ivant. He's difficult to deal with even when he's in a good mood."

"Lute?" Ar'alani asks. Raising her glass of sparkling wine at the same time Eli raises his.

Wutroow's eyes go wide and innocent while at the same time Eli swears he can smell brimstone ahead of her reply. She pitches her voice to carry and opens fire, "Yes, Admiral. I'm told it takes extensive and expert fingering to get any pleasant tone out of him at all."
