The Star Wars Iconic Characters and the Lords of the Expanse: Hunting Grounds...

[Arani Korden]

Realizing that Vor'en is here as an equal rather than a servant (aristocrats are like that sometimes) Arani gives him a warm smile.

"Vor'en. It's a pleasure to meet you. Any friend of Deel's is . . . well, a friend of Deel's, really, but I hope you'll be ours soon as well."

She then pulls Valara into the group.

"Vor'en, Deel, this is Valara Saar, a warrior and healer we met on the jungle planet. She wishes to speak with a Jedi master or a representative of the Council. I've sworn to give her any help I can."

The look Arani shoots Deel after introducing the Force Adept is subtle. Anyone who knows Arani well, though, can translate it as "No, Deel, I don't think you'd make a great couple."

She motions to the door the Zabrak walked through.

"That was Kaz Lo. I'm guessing you already know he's the Pathfinder's resident engineer, and he's very good. Be nice."

"Now. I think I need to speak to my Aunt as soon as I can."

 

[Vor'en Kurn]

"Vor'en. It's a pleasure to meet you. Any friend of Deel's is . . . well, a friend of Deel's, really, but I hope you'll be ours soon as well."

"Ma'am," he says politely, nodding politely at Arani, and keeping his face bland.

"Vor'en, Deel, this is Valara Saar, a warrior and healer we met on the jungle planet. She wishes to speak with a Jedi master or a representative of the Council. I've sworn to give her any help I can."

So many bloody jedi thinks Vor'en, trying not to shift uncomfortably. I won't be able to turn around in this crowd without bumping in to someone who meditates alot, pontificates on the nature of the Force and smiles mysteriously at the drop of a hat. Keeping these thoughts of his face (he hopes), he nods at her as well.

He's never been good at small talk. His introductions, for quite some time, have consisted of, "Hi. Name's Trevor. I've got a job for you," or, occasionally, "Hey, punk. You're sitting in my seat," and so on. The first type of encounter tended to be breif and professional, the second tended to be equally short, if a bit less professional.

Suffice to say, Vor'en wasn't a people person.

"That was Kaz Lo. I'm guessing you already know he's the Pathfinder's resident engineer, and he's very good. Be nice."

"Whatever gave you reason to suggest otherwise?" Vor'en smiles slightly, before returning to his normal bland expression. "I've met his type before, I think. Keeps his mind in his techs rather than his head. We'll get along fine." He falls silent, having uttered more words at one time than he has in some significant period, excluding exchanging insults with Set.

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

Sia-Lan sighed, rubbing her flat tummy which suddenly emitted a growling noise. "Can we have fun introductions and lively banter over something substantial?" she asked Deel and Arani with the best puppy-dog eyes she could muster. "I finished my fruit already. Hey--your Aunt Agatha has a whole huge kitchen, doesn't she?" Visions of all kinds of snacks and buffets started dancing around in her head and she could feel her mouth start to water.

"Honestly, Sia, if you're hungry right now, you'd be better off finding a resteraunt. Aunt Agatha's food will be delicious, it will be filling, and it will be expensive, but it won't be fast."

The corners of Sia-Lan's mouth threatened to turn downward, but since that was an absolute impossibility with the good-natured Jedi she just emitted a long sorrowful sigh and then smiled. "Well! There's always time for exploration! Who wants to be on a stuffy ship all day long anyway!" With that, she headed out the hatch, whistling to herself and glancing around to see where they were.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Half-listening to the coversation between the women, Sen will take a step or two towards Vor'en and bow sligtly while spreading his hands and smiling "May the Force be with you Vor'en Kurn ...ah... or would you prefer Trevor? I am Sen Udo-Mal, Jedi Padawan. I am most please to meet you. May your travels be enlightening and peaceful." Sen will then stand off to the side and wait to hear what Trevor has to say... about this "mission"

 

[Deel Surool]

"Good idea. Heck, I'll go call em right now and tell em we got their ship back," Kaz motions to the group he flew in with -not Deel or Vor'en- and turns to go back inside the ship, "Don't know why I didn't think'a that sooner."

Deel shrugs... "Suit yourself, I'm easy."

"Vor'en, Deel, this is Valara Saar, a warrior and healer we met on the jungle planet. She wishes to speak with a Jedi master or a representative of the Council. I've sworn to give her any help I can."

"Well then, she has definitely come to the right sector. House Pelagia currently boasts of an extraordinary number of Jedi. The region is fairly teeming with them."

The look Arani shoots Deel after introducing the Force Adept is subtle. Anyone who knows Arani well, though, can translate it as "No, Deel, I don't think you'd make a great couple."

Deel returns the look with a smile which, loosely translated, says, "Oh, I knew that quite well when she first arrived, my dear... But you can't fault a Twi'lek for trying, can you?"

She motions to the door the Zabrak walked through.

"That was Kaz Lo. I'm guessing you already know he's the Pathfinder's resident engineer, and he's very good. Be nice."

"I was trying nothing more than to be of the utmost assistance to him in his earnest endeavors. Speaking of which, you might convince him to allow a professional negotiate a reward from the Astrographic Society. Otherwise, their lawyers will talk him out the ship, the reward and half of his last year's salary."

"Now. I think I need to speak to my Aunt as soon as I can."

"Can we have fun introductions and lively banter over something substantial?" she asked Deel and Arani with the best puppy-dog eyes she could muster. "I finished my fruit already. Hey--your Aunt Agatha has a whole huge kitchen, doesn't she?"

"Honestly, Sia, if you're hungry right now, you'd be better off finding a resteraunt. Aunt Agatha's food will be delicious, it will be filling, and it will be expensive, but it won't be fast."

"Indeed," interrupts Deel, "Especially since your Aunt was called away to sit on the High Lord's Privy council and is currently residing on Estelle Island on Procopia. In the meantime, we will go have some lunch, purchase you each a suitable set of clothing and then leave for Vycinyth bright and early tomorrow morning."

 

[Rorworr]

Rorworr rumbles something that EmTee translates as: "Can I have a hat like that?". The Wookie eyes Deel's headgear with some envy.

"And it might be an idea if you helped Kaz. Best to have a shark on your side when dealing with sharks." Rory winks at the Twi'lek.

 

[Valara]

"Well then, she has definitely come to the right sector. House Pelagia currently boasts of an extraordinary number of Jedi. The region is fairly teeming with them."

"That's good," says the force adept and she runs her hands along the brightly colored leather vest she is wearing. She whistles once and out comes zheev, trotting along the landing ramp like he owns the place, obviusly relaxed after the forced stay in the ship, though its actually pretty rare to see the force adept's pet unrelaxed, something about being cold-blooded.

Valara watches Deel's Leku twitch with great curiosity, it seemed there were more things out there for her to learn about. Her eyes did widen a little at the mention of new clothes, then they narrowed quite a bit as she looked Deel up and down.

"I was trying nothing more than to be of the utmost assistance to him in his earnest endeavors. Speaking of which, you might convince him to allow a professional negotiate a reward from the Astrographic Society. Otherwise, their lawyers will talk him out the ship, the reward and half of his last year's salary."

Her eyes narrowed even further at Deel's explination. As it sank in she gave a slight start and looked over at Arani. "Is someone going to try to take the Pathfinder away from us?" she asks, her hand going to her blaster belt. She looks around like people are going to jump out of the woodwork. "I thought that since we took it back from the pirates its ours?"

 

[Kelko]

Kelko nods at Deel, thrusting his hands in his pockets as he moves up beside the Wookiee. "I don't know why we always have to change into some stuffy restrictive suit, it'll just make it harder to run when the inevitable happens." The fringer's lime-shaped head swivels almost imperceptibly to regard the new comer. "Welcome to our travelling band, Vor'en. Course if you aren't already, you'll probably be regretting it by the end of the week. Our crazy escapades have a way of doing that. Anyway Deel, where're headed? What with all the tearful reunions out of the way, that is."
