*Lil grimaced and attempted to blow the smoke that swirled around her head away. As he spoke, she leaned back in the booth, clearly having no intention of going anywhere.*
"Nope. Never been taught that... Hasn't anyone ever taught you blowing smoke in peoples faces is rude? So is telling them to go away."
*She'd never been referred to as a tasty slice before.. She wasn't sure if she liked it, but she felt confident enough he wasn't going to 'ugly her up' himself..*
"Do you live on this planet? What's there to do around here? Do they have apartments with big windows? Whats the weather like anyway?"
*She drained her glass and waited, watching him wide eyed.*

Cuyan's patience was wearing thin, but even he had to admire her bravery. When Cuyan told them to go away, most people listened. Still, she was interfering with his business, and he did not appreciate it.
"No I don't live here, the weather is just like you'd expect from most habitable worlds, The windows are big enough to throw a man through. You are interfering with my business, do go away."
His voice made it clear she was walking a very fine line between his indulgence and his anger, His eyes looked back up to see if his mark had arrived and to check the time.
Any minute now.

*Lil smiled wide, oblivious to the dangerous line she was walking.*
"You're pulling a job."
*She spoke in a hushed voice, but was obviously excited, leaning across the table. She wasn't not going to involve herself.*
"What kind? Who's the mark?"
*He looked around the bar, and so did she.*
"Bet I can help..!"
*She grinned mischievously, and leaned back in her seat, folding her arms.*
".. Or, I could ruin this for you... You think I'm a pain in the ass now? You don't know the half of it."

Cuyan scowled, but in the corner of his eye he saw his mark enter and shake hands with a Sakiyan in the other corner, who then led him to a back room.
Show time.
"Listen ge'tal. I don't have time for your osik. I've got to move now. You've been mildly amusing, here's a few creds for your drinks. You may want to leave."
Cuyan rose fluidly, placing his helm down on his head as it locked with a hiss. His exotic features and bright eyes suddenly hidden behind the visage of a mandalorian verd. Despite the many differences in look and even species, there was always the mask, the single best identifier of an ancient culture. He swung his rifle over his shoulder, thumbed the activation switch for his shield, and drew his blaster, turning off the safety as he strode purposefully toward the door.

*Lil's eyes lit up as he went into warrior mode. She didn't know what a ge'tal was, or osik... but she didn't care. Whatever was going down, she wanted to watch.*
"Leave? .. Not likely.."
*She muttered as she jumped up to follow him, leaving the credits on the table for the droid to collect.*

Cuyan turned around angrily when he noticed the girl following him. His voice came out quiet and threatening.
"Do you think this is a fucking game, girl? Maybe you'll get yourself killed tagging along like a child, and only then you'll learn, a shame that it'll be too late."
He turned back and opened the door, a surprised bouncer on the other side moved to stop him, but a quick strike laid him out cold. Cuyan opened a second door to reveal a room with four beings inside, the Sakiyan, his human mark, and two bodyguards. He trained his blaster on his mark and held his arm out toward the sakiyan, making his wrist laser plain. He addressed his mark, his face implacable behind his helm.
"Evening Rubeus."
Ha'rangir? Here? Listen....
"No. Kolga gave you three chances. That's two more than most Hutts. You're coming with me. I have no particular desire to kill you or your associates, but I will. You at least I'd still get paid for."
One of the guards moved for his gun, and Cuyan merely moved his arm and fired his wrist laser, boring a hole through his chest and dropping him. The other guard took advantage and fired, missing, while Cuyan's blaster merely snapped to him and put two shots into his gut. The Sakiyan fired an ACP array gun, breaking Cuyan's shield and forcing him back a step, to which he responded by throwing the tomahawk that hung on his belt, burying it in the large violet cranium. Rubeus tried to run, but Cuy caught him with clothesline and dropped him, quickly turning him over and binding him.
"You are bound by legal contract Rubeus Marko. Try to run again, and I will utilize lethal force."

*Lil watched the whole exchange, breathless. She didn't particularly like blasters... and when a stray bolt seemingly disintegrated the wall a few inches to the left of her head she dropped to the ground, and stayed there until the strangers mark was on the ground and bound.*
"That was..."
*She exhaled loudly and stood, grinning from ear to ear.*
"That was so badass! You took them all out in, like, 30 seconds!!"
*She brushed the wall debris from her shoulder and zipped her leather jacket.*
"Now what??"

Cuyan hauled Rubeus up and dragged him over toward the body of the Sakiyan. He chuckled briefly at the girl's assessment.
"It was more like seven. You are lucky that you are not one of them."
He stepped down on the Sakiyan's chest and bent to pull his tomahawk from his head. He slipped it back onto his belt and turned back toward the girl and the door.
"I take Rubeus back to Kolga, give him over, get paid. Find another job."
He pushed past her back to the main bar, over muttered protests from Rubeus.

*Lil glanced at the missing piece of wall - that certainly could have been her head... She turned back just in time to watch the bounty hunter rip his tomahawk from the dead guys skull. She cringed, but started following him out.*
"So take me with you."
*It wasn't a question. Lil didn't typically ask permission.*

Cuyan chuckled sardonically as he manhandled Rubeus out of the bar and into the street. This girl had a set on her, he would give her that much.
"What possible reason do I have to take some urchin pickpocket on my ship? Rob me blind, you will."
I can think of some uses for her
Cuy backhanded him sharply, and Rubeus cowered.
"No one asked you."
Cuyan stuffed the man into the back of a rented speeder, then took of his helm and placed it on the passenger seat, lighting another cigarette.
"This business is no game girl. Go back to picking pockets, you'll thank me for it later."

*Lil moved past the bounty hunter and lifted the helm he'd just placed on the seat. She sat down, let the helm sit in her lap and folded her arms over top.*
"How can I rob you blind while en route to Kolga?"
*She smirked and shrugged.*
"Besides, this planet is boring. There are no good pockets to pick. I need a new adventure. And this looks like fun."

Cuyan's anger flashed at her brazen move, and his fist clenched as he slammed it down on the speeder.
"You saw what happened in there? That was an easy snatch. You aren't made for this work, and I don't need you in my way and getting blasted. Even forgetting that, why should I take you? What can you possibly offer me to make it worth my time and resources?"
He was getting very annoyed with her, but at the same time, he couldn't help but be somewhat impressed with her boldness.

*Lil jumped as he thunked the speeder, and looked over at him, smirking. She was getting under his skin.*
"Listen killer, if its so likely I'm going to die - wouldn't it be in your benefit to take me? You're not getting rid of me at this point."
*She settled back into the passenger seat, looking comfy, and changed her smirk to a sweet smile, patting the drivers seat, inviting him to sit, and move this thing along.*
"I'm an opportunist, killer. Taking me along will pay off. Promise. You just gotta be patient."

Cuyan snarled, but then smiled, darkly, as if he had found some secret humor to it, then moved to the driver's side of the speeder, getting in and taking a long drag from his smoke, visibly relaxing.
"Fine, then, ge'tal. But there are rules. Solus, never touch my armor, my weapons, or anything else of mine without me telling you to do so. T'ad, we are not equals in this. You do what I say, when I say it. Ehn, keep your mouth shut around others. Do not speak to anyone about our business unless I tell you to do so. Cuir, you are going to learn to the work that I do, and it will be difficult. Rayshe'a, if you break my rules, you will receive a warning. A warning. Tayli'bac?"
His emerald eyes were quite intense as he looked at her, clearly uninterested in arguing about it. This was the chance he was willing to give, only question was, would she take it?

*Lil knew when to push... and when to keep her mouth shut. So she met his gaze and grinned, nodding as he spoke. Didn't sounds like his rules were that hard to follow... though she'd never been good at following rules.*
"Ok killer, fine... but I have a condition too."
*She paused for dramatic effect. Had she smoked - she would've copied him entirely. Instead, she just tried to copy his intensity.*
"English! Stop with the weird words.I don't know what a ge'tal is. Or, tayli'bac..."

Cuyan chuckled, as he revved the engine and started it moving.
"No go. You'll learn mando'a to more efficiently communicate secretly. You'll find it's easy enough, and much more pleasant than Basic. Your first lesson, ge'tal means 'red', and tayli'bac means 'understand'. So, tayli'bac ge'tal?"
He smiled and they sped off away, heading towards the spaceport.

*Lil rolled her eyes rather dramatically as he sped off, her back pressed against her seat.*
"Alright. Fine. How do you say killer then?"

The speeder flew easily and expertly through the streets of Taris, Cuyan working the wheel with one hand and smoking. When she asked how to say killer he laughed."Kyramud, ge'tal. Kyramud." He chuckled again and turned the music on, Sparkle-bop started playing, and it was light and inoffensive enough that it would do for driving. Cuyan even started to sing along absentmindedly as they neared the spaceport."You know ge'tal, most smart girls don't go around looking to get into my line of work and get shot at. You got a death wish?"

*Lil smirked as the Kyramud, as he said, laughed. He had loosened up quickly now that his job was done - or perhaps she was just that charming. She leaned back in her seat, watching as the buildings passed. She couldn't wait to be off this dreadful planet... Her new companion sang along to the catchy tune on the radio, and she closed her eyes... Until he spoke again. Questions. They always had questions...*
"A death wish? Quite the opposite really."
*Which story would be best to use today?*
"This planet isn't exactly prosperous and bountiful. Its hard for a girl to make a living here. Its time for a change."

Cuyan shrugged and tossed the butt away as they approached the docking platform where his ship was kept. Her point was not invalid, and he certainly could not blame someone for wanting to make a better living. He parked the speeder and hopped out, opening the back and grabbing Rubeus, who fell on the ground with a groan. He picked him up to his feet and grabbed his helmet from the parked speeder."Come on." He jostled Rubeus up the ramp toward a green YX-1980. He punched a command onto his wristcomputer and disabled the security system, small autoturrets retracting back into the hull and an entry ramp lowered, allowing them to board. He led her onto the ship and pushed Rubeus down the corridor to the holding cell he kept for bounties. He removed the binders and shoved him inside, enabling the security field and stun projector."Welcome to the Kyr'galaar. My own little piece of Manda. Come on, I'll show you where you can bunk." He gestured with his head and started leading her through the ship. He led her down the promenade and into the passenger quarters."The room next to the cockpit is mine. you can have any of these you want. Refreshers are at the end of each row, and at the end of the hall is galley and crew lounge. For now, stay out of my engine rooms, my cargo bays, and my cockpit. We're gonna lift off in a few minutes. Help yourself to any food in the galley, there ain't much right now, but soon they'll be much better stocked."
