[ Epona had become a bar stool. She left to eat.... Sleep.... Bath. But found herself back here every day. How long had it been? She had made friends. Associated she guessed. Was this it? The voice hit her ears. Oh Alem.... Alem! And that meant God and Shakk. She hoped. Turning she was mugged by the three. Family. Years. Years apart. Years flooding from her eyes she hugged them back. Standing back she leap in grabbing Shakk and hugged the girl hard then set her down

There he sat, Kingpin the Hutt with his Kowakian lizard monkey, Uglyas Sin, both gawking wide eyed at these strangers. What now? What now. So the aged Hutt thought. Indeed, what now? Opportunity is what now. Nothing was happening in this Universe. Nothing. Maybe something was on the move, like he wished that his bowels would do. The agony of constipation..... His mind knew it too well. Passing. Passing. Wrong word, as he was passing nothing. Enough! That biological characteristic all too common in his species aside, opportunity had just walked in the door. In the form of three Twi'lecks. Three hot Twi'lecks. And too mean looking men. Unfortunate that. No.matter, things were looking in interesting. Interesting indeed. Patience. Patience. And he relaxed waiting quietly.... For a few minutes. Then eyes widening he barked out a word -Kingpin the Hutt- "Chuba!!!"

Both Laoch and Kieran hung back and watched. Naturally they cessed out the bar. The atmosphere. To be certain, they quite instinctively checked the joint out as if they were preparing to rob the joint. The first thing that Laoch did was to look up. Kieran too glanced above, a learned habit that few naturally possessed, Most never learned and cost many their lives. High ceiling they noted. Nothing hung high. No traps. Nothing. 'Check' thought Kieran. And on from there the pair went, casually walking around. Blind corners, escape routes, both literal exits and what could be used as an exit. And so on and so forth from there. Nothing was left untouched. And they both thought, with those things in mind, how would one defend the place. Typical manner of thinking among those of their kind. Then the Hutt spoke and both men looked up -Kieran- 'Ok. I'm down with Huttese. C'mon; better get this outta the way.' The pair walked over and stood waiting; right was in their house they'd expect courtesy. They waited but all standard decorum aside they would not wait long

The mighty Hutt looked down on the pair for a long moment. The creature periodically overtaken by flatulence and the odor hung in the air but none of his entourage complained. released a hideous gasThen his giant mouth moved -kingpin- "Hooo.... Achuta my pee kasa Kingpin the Hutt" Eyes widening -Kingpin- "A'chu apenkee?" Head moving but a hair forward he waited. The bizarre looking creature on a chain with him mimicked the Hull, laughing when he did, ect an so forth

The two men stood and they listened. Laoch with right hand reached up running down the bridge of his nose, chin down he staredahead. Right at that freakish thing sitting by the tat worm. His brother, hands crossed at his waist nodded slight to the left and answered -Kieran- "Well hello...." Nostrils flaring -Kieran- "Name is Kieran Dubh." With a nod to the left - "And this would be my brother, Laoch Dubh." Chin lifting slight Kieran waited, his eyes stayed fixed on the Hutt

The Butt sat listening staring intensely at Kieran as He spoke. The monkey lizard, Spacious Bumm, stared too. At the surname the Hutt's eyes widened, as did Spacious. The Hutt spoke-Kingpin- "Chowbaso!" Small hand flailing as he spoke -Kingpin- "H'chu apenkee! Dolpee kikyuna!" And there he sat

Kieran stood unwavering and said - "KingPin, you show great generosity welcoming us is most humbly accepted by my Brother, Laoch." Gesturing with left hand to the left then closed right with extended thumb pointing back indicating the three Twi'leck -Kieran- "My sisters, Gid, Alem and Shakk. And myself" Clearing throat he continued -Kieran- 'Now, in these Times of great Trail and Tribulation I believe that it would be in both of our interests of we hold further counsel. ' And he stood waiting

The Hutt sat listening and indeed his intense observation was mirrored by the creature now on a leash at his side. After a long moment the Hutt responded with a slight gesture. Servant slaves rushed to place two elaborately embroidered pillows on the ground before the Hutt Lord. Kingpin then made a gesture towards the seats

Kieran nodded and Laoch and himself sat on the pillows. Pipes and drink were presented and a rich long short legged serving table was placed before them furnished withnfood, drink and pipes. And the three spoke long into the night. They spoke of the weather and how it effected the environment. Which quite effortlessly progressed into deep discussion of shifting tides of Power. And in turn from there they moved to converse about how these players effected both parties, The Hutt as a whole and Kingpin, being among them, and the Dubh Dynasty, of which both Kieran, Laoach and the Twi'leck Three belonged. And Epona. That Laoch made very clear. Pulling things back on track before they derailed, Kieran directed the three into discussion of their most basic shared concern, namely: survival. Kieran introduced Kingpit to the name Grainne Mhaol and the Title and Wealth that she had inherited. They then spoke of key places, people and material interests at their disposal. Here again both parties carried their own particular, alibi it off intertwined, assets to the table. A very productive little discussion transpired quite spontaneously

Life was a mixed bag for sure. Oh! So hungry. Maybe the drink had got to me? She could handle a considerable quantity of alcohol as a rule. All the depression and anxiety then suddenly have the guys drop by. Swarm by was more like it. Now what? Nice place really. Rustic....

The converse betwixt Kingpin, Laoch and Kieran fluidly evolved into a quite elaborate exchange on specific of forms of illegal activity, carved out spheres of influence, central to these being Nal Hutta and its' moon Nar Sadda, Coruscant, Kessel and Kuat among others and how they fit into underworld activity. Gambling, both legal and illegal, drugs, prostitution, slavery, the acquisition, transport and distribution of products and so on and so forth down the line were approached extensively. Union organization and administration were included on the laundry list. Of course, they spoke of racketeering, an art in which An Tiarna himself had mastered and The Hutt as a people indeed had deep representation. Names were dropped only if absolutely necessary to the conversation but as a rule who was involved in a particular occupation was avoided. The textbook for a Career Crminals 101 seminar could have been drafted from content the conversation between Laoch, Kieran and Kingpin. At some point Laoch stood muttering 'Gabh mo leithal' the interpreting -Laoch- 'Excuse me.' With a wave of left hand he added -Laoch- 'Whatever that is in your language....' The man then strolled towards the bar. And his sisters. Getting close a he nodded -Laoch- 'Hey ladies.' Kieran sat stunned by his brother's behaviour, which might be interpreted as disrrspectful. But he said nothing and say waiting for the Hutt's response

To begin the Hutt only listenened but he swiftly became an active participant in the dialogue. And his interest became centered on the two men who now sat before him. He knew and respected An Tiarna. So, he asked -Kingpin- "And how did you contribute to The Old man's business?"

Kieran smiled; th other man just flinched and now was the the time to strike. -Kieran- 'We offered muscle to the organization.' Letting that detail sink in for a time he hit the Hutt with his proposition -Kieran- 'And I am offering that essential part of our thing to you....'

Now captured, hook, line and sinker the Hutt did not delay, answering -Kingpin- "That is more than acceptable!" And they moved from there into defining the exact definition of this newly formed partnership

This place was shady to say the least. And three young Twi'leck would girls attracted attention in church. God ignored any unwanted looks and smiles, paying attention to her sisters and Epona. Unconsciously Alem positioned herself in such a way that she created a barrier between her sisters and those around them. Standing up against the bar, Shakk stood behind a wall of flesh created by her sisters and cousin. She then heard the greeting and her right hand fell on the pistol under her left arm. This couldn't be good. Gid turned her head towards the words as Alem swung around defensively asking -Alem- "What?" And all three simultaneously exclaimed - Twi'leck Triplets- "Laoch!!!" It was like Santa Claus just dropped by with an Uzi

Completely immersed in talking with her cousins Epona pair little attention to others in the tavern. That she was was beautiful was undeniable but her enormous stature tended to intimidate all but the bravest. Thus, she was as a rule able avoid unwanted advances. She turned menacingly towards the words but immediately relaxed and joined the Twi 'lecks -Epona- "Laoch!?!" He was a thoroughly dangerous man. And he was a nice guy. Those two attributes, coupled with the fact that he was their cousin made him a very popular individual

A smile sweeping across his hardened face, Laoch took Epona by the cheeks and missed her on the forehead. He hugged Alem tightly, then Gid and last hugged Shakk. Turning to his attention to a burly man to his left gawking at the girl he asked -Laoch- 'Are we wearing your clothes?' The man quickly moved away. Turning back he began talking to the women Still establishing the time details of their agreement with Kingpin the Hutt, Kieran answered the unasked -Kieran- 'Those Twi-lecks and the centuar are out cousins; we consider family sacred.' Quickly returning to the discussion busines he added -Kieran- 'On the topic of trade unions I cannot more strongly advise that we pay close attention to big gas.' A sly grin growing on his face -Kieran- 'And I ain't talking the kind that exits from your behind.'KLieran then took a errant pad and scrawled down down the essential particulars of the deal between them and the Hutt. Writing on the short serving table waa no easy chore. Finally sitting up he yelled -Kieran- 'Gid you get this to Grace. Pronto.' Brows dropping he added -Kieran- 'And bring Laoch with....' To this his Brother approached

Kingpit spoke slow and precisely with his new partner. The Hutt occasionally glanced at the three Twi'leck with the cent.aur, whom, with her fine figure he found quite appealing. It appeared that this Laoch too was quite distracted by them, a feeling that he could understand. However, when Kieran revealed the girls relation to Laoch and himself the Hutt reacted shouting violently -Kingpin- "Tooska chai mani!!!" Those already shaken by Laoch's presence made like the Red Sea and split. Turning His undivided attention back to Kieran he nodded

Heading rising to the call, Gid walked over to Kieran and the Hutt. Taking the paper from Kieran she gave it a quick once over then taking Laoch by the arm led him towards the door. Before leaving she yelled over shoulder -Gid- 'He back in a flash and was gone

The talk was going very much as Kingpin wished. Eyes thinning eye declared -Kingpin- 'Dobrah koona tah koyotapa Nal Hutta.' The statement brought the conversation in another direction. The Hutt said to Kieran that 'Our strength is in our numbers.' and told him of his three most valued friends among his own people, namely: Klarboa Yorg, on Nal Hutta, Nuta Addeb, also on Nal Hutta and Ambash Pel on Nar Shadda. These three formed the nucleus of his clan
