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

[Kelko]

"Here they are!" says Kelko brightly, turning around with sabacc deck in hand, after a half-hour of search. Cheerfulness turns to dismay as he finds that the cockpit is devoid of anyone but Bait... and the little droid is accessing the databanks not for card games but... first aid?

"Typical," the Rodian mutters with a shrug of his shoulders. He walks out into the cabin to find the rest of his companions standing about listening to Arani.

 

[Dorn Tavers]

Dorn does his absolute best to fade quietly into the background during all this talk of dancing, especially after Sia's latest display.

"I could really use an old Jedi mind trick right about now..."

 

[Rorworr]

Rorworr grins at Sia, patting her on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Even if no-one else asks you, me and Kelko will keep you on the dance floor. Won't we, buddy?" He puts a comforting hand on the Rodian's back. "If you promises not to permanently injure either of us..."

Stepping out into the middle of the lounge, Rorworr holds out his hand to Arani. "Shall we give 'em a quick demonstration of how it's done?"

 

[Arani Korden]

Stepping out into the middle of the lounge, Rorworr holds out his hand to Arani. "Shall we give 'em a quick demonstration of how it's done?"

Arani grins. "You always know the right thing to say to a girl, don't you."

Arani is not, strictly speaking, an especially good dancer. She's technically adequate, but not much more than that. Still, she has a certain natural grace, a cheerful good nature, and an obvious fondness for her dancing partner. That seems to be enough.

 

[Set Harth]

Set stands up pulling Valara on to her feet as well. "Well, I'll show you we dance back on Coruscant, Val, Arani can let us know if it will be sufficeint for the Tapani Sector." He proceeds to show her the steps to a simple waltz he learned back home...

 

[Rorworr]

Rorworr, while perhaps a little more skilled as a dancer, seems to have learnt a very formal style. Coupled with his height in comparison with Arani, the two make a slightly awkward progress around the room.

On the other hand, they don't break any furniture, and manage not to injure each other, so it's a definite improvement on the previous pair...

 

[Kelko]

Kelko watches the duo dance with a slight scrunching of his face that denotes a bored daze, and folded arms. "So what's the big deal? Seems simple enough, and regardless, you can't seriously be saying that anybody will care if you're bad? And if they do, Rorworr hear can rip off their arms, or something. Right?" He asks this last with a hopeful tone in his voice.

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

Sia-Lan smiled brightly and decided that Kelko would be her first vic-...er partner. Grabbing his hands in hers, she whirled him around and around in big goofy circles. Sort of rather sad mimicry of Arani and Rory's dance. Though in that short span of time she managed to...

1. Step on his right foot
2. bump him right into the wall with a 'sorry'
3. knock him into Rory
4. get him incredibly dizzy...

 

[Arani Korden]

Kelko watches the duo dance with a slight scrunching of his face that denotes a bored daze, and folded arms. "So what's the big deal? Seems simple enough, and regardless, you can't seriously be saying that anybody will care if you're bad? And if they do, Rorworr hear can rip off their arms, or something. Right?" He asks this last with a hopeful tone in his voice.

Arani shakes her head sadly. "There are some problems that even a Wookiee ripping arms off can't solve.

But you're half right. Most of you don't have to be good - just not so bad that you draw attention to yourselves. If you know the steps, and stick to them (this last bit said in Sia-Lan's direction) all will be well. After all, we'll be there to see, rather than be seen. That's all I need to teach you here.

I, unfortunately, will have to be very good, and not make a single mistake, since this will be my official debut into society. But that's my problem, not yours."

 

[Kelko]

But you're half right. Most of you don't have to be good - just not so bad that you draw attention to yourselves. If you know the steps, and stick to them (this last bit said in Sia-Lan's direction) all will be well. After all, we'll be there to see, rather than be seen. That's all I need to teach you here.

"I think we have that part down," Kelko throws over his shoulder as his crimson-haired dance partner flings him into the arms of the Wookiee, before pulling him back again into an awkward embrace. Sia-Lan looks down into his bulbous black eyes as he pipes up. "Hey, do you think I could lead for a bit? I like my feet just the way they are, thank you."

As they disentangle, Kelko's glad that he doesn't have quite a human skeletal structure - he's surprised Vor'en got away with only a bad back.
