[sblock=Keda and Sianni]
"Oh no, don't you go mushy on me!" Sianni replied, using a lek to imitate the human gesture of wagging a finger. "Won't work on me. Not at all. Same goes for that Jedi mind control, by the way. My father trained me to resist that.
But I've really wasted enough of my valuable time. Forget that I ever said anything and rest assured that if I ever need a slicer I'll hire one. A good one."
With the intention of not giving the Jedi the opportunity for any further nonsense, Sianni whirled quickly around and hit the door button with a lek, only to stop dead in her tracks as the door finally opened. Turning a paler green she abruptly jumped to the side of the door with a yelp, defensively tucking her lekku behind her back, and frantically hit the button to close it again. Her eyes wide with panic Sianni pointed a lek accusingly at Keda Starwind.
"You ..., you ..., you brought him here! That lekku-grabbing Lylek-spawn! How could you?"
The exact cause for her panic remained unkown, however, as the only persons in the corridor outside were a new Republic guards and Lias Etom, a respected human Jedi Master who had once served as Watchmen of the Ryloth system and on whose recommendation Sianni Amersu had been contracted for this mission. Strangely enough, the unconventional Jedi whose eccentricities included an undue liking for 'slumming' had apparently chosen her after she took his padawan hostage for a while to ensure her client's passage to their destination. (Where he had been apprehended afterwards by Etom and his padawan.)
Badly failing to cover her anxiety as her lekku still shivered in obvious agitation, Sianni began anew.
"Okay, I am offering you a different deal. I don't think he has seen me yet. If you order him away while I hide in here so that I can get to the ship unseen, I'll forget everything I have ever heard of these 'K'ril' and I'll bring the holocr..., the holovid afterwards to you." [/sblock]
drothgery said:"It was hardly a 'scam' to help prevent Lejo from being disposed of like a worn-out tool by the K'ril after they had used him. And I owed him -- I don't know how I would have survived between my parents' deaths and the Jedi finding me without him. I wasn't going to give up on him.
"Now, I still suspect you want something from a Jedi. Most of the people who would want something from me for my talents unrelated to the Force are long dead; Jedi are not typically among the galaxy's best slicers, and even those who know me don't usually know that I am, or at least was. Is it so difficult to just say what that is?"
"Oh no, don't you go mushy on me!" Sianni replied, using a lek to imitate the human gesture of wagging a finger. "Won't work on me. Not at all. Same goes for that Jedi mind control, by the way. My father trained me to resist that.
