The Connect

[Qar Offee]

"Fine by me." He glanced at her and her drink, briefly. "You drink light at this hour. Sure about that?" He said after a pause.

After a sip of his drink, he added. "Blabbers be blabbering."

[Leah kuso]

"I drink light at all hours. Habit of a lifetime that one" Leah raised her near-empty coffee cup with a smile "but it's served me well so far, so can't complain! I'm Leah by the way."

She looked back at the others with a shrug.

"Unfortunately I know most of them, and the louder taller one makes a big habit of it. Still, he's a good guy."

[Qar Offee]

"Being a good guy doesn't kill the risk though." He trailed a line along the rim of his glass. "Nor does being sober help that much."

He turned toward her a bit to look at the Twi'lek in more direct way, his slanted blue eyes chilly but not unfriendly. "Qar." He tipped his glass a bit in a small greeting salute. "You seem to be the first person I know around here, Leah."

[Leah kuso]

"I find being sober helps me a lot. Too many a soul want to get little old me drunk anyway" Leah shrugged "but either way, I'm glad to have been the first person to know you. First of many I'm sure! Not local either then?"

She leans on her hand, looking back at the man with her cheerful expression.

The mando drummed his fingers on the table

''Looks like things are gonna get very interesting on landing''

[Qar Offee]

"I find being sober helps me a lot. Too many a soul want to get little old me drunk anyway" Leah shrugged "but either way, I'm glad to have been the first person to know you. First of many I'm sure! Not local either then?"

She leans on her hand, looking back at the man with her cheerful expression.

"I can respect you drawing some personal boundaries." He finished his drink without hesitation, jolting in what was left in his glass, and ordered another, then shook his head. "As foreign to this world as one can be. Bellionas, right?"

[Leah kuso]

"I can respect you drawing some personal boundaries." He finished his drink without hesitation, jolting in what was left in his glass, and ordered another, then shook his head. "As foreign to this world as one can be. Bellionas, right?"

"Where we're going? Yeah, Bellionas. I've never been there before. I've never been...well, anywhere before, except to the moon on Kamda. Bit of excitement for me to finally leave my home world" Leah said with a chuckle "but I must sound like a naive child with wonderlust to seasoned traveller like yourself."

[Qar Offee]

"Hey, I ain't old." He smirked a bit, raising his finger as if to boop her nose, but never touching before getting the new drink with that hand.

"I was also a kid when my planet-hopping began." He gave a brief look to her form, assessing age. "Guess even younger than you because you look rather womanly to me already. It has to start at some point, unless you're happy to be tied to one place. Which, as it appears, you're not." A faint smile. "Up for exciting things then?"

[Julo]

"I am told that I am, *ahem* "off putting" at the best of times. I rarely go looking for trouble, it tends to find me, so I have simply adjusted to the necessity that it will a constant companion. I should at least put it to good use"

"As for my business" Sol looks over at the Mando, and then at the mostly empty room. "Some of it, I can't go into detail for purposes of operational security. But part of this might apply to your mission. It would appear that there are things on the planet that are, let us say, significant for those like your brooding compatriot. And those like him."

"Well, I certainly believe you on the sense that trouble seems to find you," he laughs broadly with that waning tinge of awkwardness to it. Glancing between his two current companions for the moment and furrowing his brow. Glancing briefly toward the pair nearby but nothing comes of the thought. "Well, here's to hoping our journey on Bellionas is a more peaceful one, hmm? Folk that live there don't want a big ruckus and I don't blame them. Things have been rough all over the Empire and we're just looking to make things a little bit easier on folk."

[J-Richo Toboga]

''There is always some ruckus boy'' Richo replied ''But I'll gladly take the blunt of it''

[Leah kuso]

"Hey, I ain't old." He smirked a bit, raising his finger as if to boop her nose, but never touching before getting the new drink with that hand.

"I'm not that old! I'm like...well, not telling you, but not old. Young enough that people wouldn't let me fly one of these at least! Maybe, how old do you need to be for that?" Leah said thoughtfully, before looking down at the cup.

"Eh, you could say that. I'm hoping for...I don't know actually. Exciting can be good or bad, and I'd rather it be good. I'm kinda following something but I can't say what."

[Solork Tan]

"Well, I certainly believe you on the sense that trouble seems to find you," he laughs broadly with that waning tinge of awkwardness to it.

Things have been rough all over the Empire and we're just looking to make things a little bit easier on folk."

"I intend to be the very examplar of discretion, so that ruckus is avoided."

Solork says the words with complete sincerity, but with the looks that get sent in return, he doubts that they believe him.

[Qar Offee]

"I'm not that old! I'm like...well, not telling you, but not old. Young enough that people wouldn't let me fly one of these at least! Maybe, how old do you need to be for that?" Leah said thoughtfully, before looking down at the cup.

"Eh, you could say that. I'm hoping for...I don't know actually. Exciting can be good or bad, and I'd rather it be good. I'm kinda following something but I can't say what."

Qar's mouth twisted in a wry smirk. "If I'd listened what other people let me ride, I wouldn't be here now. Drive whatever you want, girl. Just don't get caught taking the helm."

He rolled whiskey in the glass dismissively. "I don't expect you to confide in me. We've just met. I'm all for excitement though, of the irreverent kind. See, I'm a racer."

"I'll leave driving to those who can drive. I don't fancy crashing with no idea of how or why" Leah chuckled "and a racer? What kind of racing?"

[Qar Offee]

"Not on blurrghs, mind you." A subtle jab at a Rylothian practice. "At least not yet. Speeders mostly, pods on occasion."

He smirked. "Sometimes crashing with no idea of how and why is the best part."

[Leah kuso]

"Oh not another one" Leah rolled her eyes and sighed "I should introduce you to my...my friend. He's got a speeder now and is obsessed with it. If you two start racing though he's really good I think, so it might be fun."

She shrugged.

"As long as you don't end up killing each other."

[Qar Offee]

"Guess I am not as interesting as I may have seemed from a distance." Qar chuckled. "Just a good racer. I may race your friend."

[Leah kuso]

"Guess I am not as interesting as I may have seemed from a distance." Qar chuckled. "Just a good racer. I may race your friend."

"You're plenty interesting enough, and you're good enough company even if you're a racer" Leah said with a chuckle "I'll stick to cheering from the sides though, ok? I make a pretty good cheerleader!"

[Qar Offee]

"I don't doubt that." He smirked. "You haven't even started any choreography and I am already rather cheerful."

[Leah kuso]

"Good! You do look happier" Leah said with a few nods "so do you own your own speeder for racing or rent one? I wonder if Bellionas even has racing...Maybe that's what Phroth brought his...I know where he'll be at least."
