Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ced raised his hands, scowling at the woman who had a carbine pointed at him. Damn, and he was just beginning to feel clever.
"And what's with the sudden interest in me? All your friends leave me alone for an hour, I thought you had forgotten about me..."
But unfortunately for Cedric it was difficult to forget about a spy.
"Here... I'm putting my rifle down -- slowly --" he said as he did so. "Now.. can we talk about this calmly, without pointing weapons at each other? No one's actually bothered to question me yet... could turn out to be a loss if I decide to break the capsule in my tooth. It does get boring in here all by myself..."

Nal Hutta - Cantina

Zara shook her head slowly.
Lucky isn't the first word that comes to mind for me. But if it's what you think, I could cut yours out so you may see how lucky it truly is. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing. You would certainly provoke less women into trying to shoot you.
Zara let out a dark laugh, then placed a hand on his arm briefly as a Rodian server approached them.
Order something for me.
She didn't care what it was. It wasn't like she would be able to taste it anyways.
She kept an eye on the door as she waited, hoping that the others had been able to deal with the disturbance in a discrete manner.
Sighing as she listened to the others, she finally looked up at Master Stone.
I would agree with Dawson, but tell me again why the stranger was hiding on your ship? I'm not entirely clear on why you've decided to trust him.
Perhaps the Je'daii trusted Logan enough, but Zara wasn't sure if she had confidence in their decision. They had trusted her, after all...

Nal Hutta

"Oh, and don't tell me what to do. You might be Je'daii but that gives you no authority over me. I'm here because I choose to be not because I have to."

Corvin smiled in response to the man's glare. He'd gotten so used to dealing with week willed pirates, mercs and bounty hunters that this show of bravado actually came as a pleasant surprise. "Don't misunderstand me, friend!" he said to Logan's retreating back. "I give orders only because I have absolutely zero time for bantha snot! Come with me, and I'll see to it that the girl comes to no harm she doesn't bring on herself. Might even protect her from herself. You wanna walk, that's your choice, but I'm going this way!"

Corvin was intrigued by the assassin as much as he was by Logan, but he had no intention of wasting any more time on this planet than he had to, and he certainly wasn't going to mess about arguing in public. Double checking the locator beacon on his comm, he made his way to the cantina. He opened the doors, scanned the room for his companions, then took one look over his shoulder to see if Logan had decided to come along after all, knowing the man would have a hell of a time picking the right cantina out of all the dives on Nal Hutta if he wasn't close behind.

"Now.. can we talk about this calmly, without pointing weapons at each other? No one's actually bothered to question me yet... could turn out to be a loss if I decide to break the capsule in my tooth. It does get boring in here all by myself..."

"Oh, you're bored?" De'avril laughed, shouldering the carbine but not setting it down or discharging it. "You know, I'd heard rumors about the tooth capsules, but I've never seen anyone either brave or cowardly enough to use one." The Twi'lek motioned with her free hand toward the man's chair, indicating he should still return to it, but also leaned against the bulkhead in a much more casual posture.

"As far as my interest in you? I have none. But I do owe the Captain my life, and he wants you here. Far as I'm concerned, you're just a stowaway, and we've got bigger problems. He'll get to you." She paused thoughtfully, then a mischievous smile crossed her lips. Cocking her hip to one side as she added, "Unless you want to talk. I'm bored too... Let's start with your name, and then you can tell me why you were hiding on my boat."

Nal Hutta - Cantina

Dawson...do you recognize her...do you know her reason for attacking...do you even know who she is?

"She's Force Sensitive, I can tell you that much" Corvin said in low tones as he slid in next to the assassin so that he and Elyria flanked the woman on either side. "A Pyro Savant, from what I've seen. Strange that she'd have used a rifle, considering her natural talent. Best guess is that she's untrained... so be ready to put out any fires if she wakes up and looses her cool!"

He took a moment to smile, pleased with his little joke before becoming serious again. "Clearly had no idea who any of us were, except these two." he added, indicating Zara and Dawson, arching an eyebrow as he waited for one of them to respond.

Nal Hutta - Cantina


Why not go for a Meltdown...I take it you've never drunk with a Je'daii"

"My club is based on Coruscant, it is possible I may have but none who would be so foolish as to mention what they were, as for why I went with reactor cores." he paused taking a large swig of the beverage "Old habits die hard."

. I can't explain it...I just have a sense of these things..I know there is more to him than he is letting on, but I also know he means me no harm...while you...Zara..do not have my full trust...but I still am not willing to give up on you..to turn you over to the Sith...you know what they do...the torture..why it was you who freed Master Endar from such...for that kindness, I'm willing to take a chance on you....

Dawson was still not sure why Zara was helping the je'daii but his eyes locked on to the famailiar figures who entered the cantina.

He hadn't noticed it before but now that they were next to one another, he could see one hell of a resemblance between the je'daii and the assassin.

Dawson...do you recognize her...do you know her reason for attacking...do you even know who she is?

"Clearly had no idea who any of us were, except these two."


"Wait she is not related to you?" he asked the female je'daii a hint of disbelief in his voice "How much do you know about your father?" he started looking at the two women comparing facial features, bone structure, even the obvious hair color but shook his head he was off topic now.

"Yes she did know who we were, or atleast my name and clearly not much more." he took another drink of his reactor core letting out a satisfied sigh "Let me start from the beginning, or at least after we left Voss. I came here to collect a debt owed to me by one Zebro the hutt, he owed me a massive amount of credits a number I will not discuss in public." his eyes shifted scanning their surroundings briefly "This Hutt owes everything to me, and with standard interest, well let us say unless he overthrew two of the other hutt's he would not be able to pay me back anytime soon. I made the necessary arrangements with several of my staff that I left in his service, it never hurts to have eyes on the inside as I am sure you all can understand. The guards change and everyone between us" he motioned at Zara and then back at himself. "and the Hutt were now my men and would not warn the slug so he could make an escape." he paused finishing the last of the beverage and raising his glass towards the server "Unfortunately that is when our friend here gets involved." he motioned with the empty glass to the unconscious woman "You see Zebro knew he could not pay me back so he decided to have me killed, assassinated if you want to get technical. I tried to tell her the Hutt did not have the money to pay her, and to drop the foolish notion of killing me." he shook his head lowering his eyes. "She insisted she had taken the contract already and that she would kill me for invading her private meeting with my pet." he put extra emphasize on the my to make it clear that he had in fact owned the hutt. "Seeing as how the galaxy would be a better place with out the Hutt versus the woman I knew, know rather, nothing about I had him killed. It was really only good business you understand, he was trying to spend money he owed me to have me killed I do not suspect any of you would have done anything different?" he looked at each of them, he may not have known the je'daii or sith philosophies but he did understand human nature and the will to survive. "She tried to attack me with fire so I drew my blasters to defend myself, Zara stepped in and defended me in the nick of time allowing me to escape the inferno that so decimated the Hutt's meeting room. She left and then we were all reunited." he shrugged, not knowing what else to say.

. 'Come to think of it , we meet her, she tries to incenerate me, fails and runs off, je'daii show up insist we stay on the planet, same woman once again tries to kill me, fails again, runs away, and now here she is infront of me and the je'daii bearing striking resembelence to the apparent leader of the group. It would seem I need to keep my eye's on these je'daii.'

"So in short, the woman wants me dead for refusing to allow a hutt to pay her to kill me. What is this galaxy coming to?" the server placed a new glass infront of the zeltron and he nodded his head in acknowledgement.
