Thread: Star Wars: Eclipse (TheCorsair and Xana)

A Quipan Viss is here for you. Came the voice over the intercom. Ill be right down, was her reply, replacing the contacts. Shadi had blue eyes, to go with her blonde hair. Shadi made her way downstairs and outside, nodding approvingly at the speeder he brought. Shall we? She asked, making her way to the passenger compartment of the speeder. He wasnt quite the casually handsome man she had shared dinner and banter with the night before. Underneath it all, he still was, but it was different enough that most people wouldnt pick up on it, if they didnt know. She might not have picked up it, if she didnt know. If she didnt have a reason to pay attention. Suddenly the gnawing feeling that they had met before came back. Had she seen him in one of his disguises? How long had he been on Mustafar? If was possible they had crossed paths before. It probably didnt mean anything. They ran in similar lines of business, after all. As long as he wasnt gunning for herShe took a moment, accessing those abilities that she tried to keep hidden, especially around the kind of men who liked to carry light sabers on their person. At the moment, knowing if he intended to hurt her seemed more important than concealing her ability to manipulate the force. Besides, Jedi didnt come all the way to the outer rim with no back up to do odd jobs for Cartels. That was just absurd. There was a cold detachment about him, as she probed for emotions. A professional, in all ways, including in his mind. She closed the mental link and relaxed back into the leather, getting herself into that same professional detachment disposition, overlaid with the playful personality of a working girl. Layers upon layer upon layers. The meeting took place at a safe house, where these kinds of clandestine meetings always took place. Bribing bureaucrats, intimidating law enforcement, colluding with politicians, and apparently making deals with rival cartels to divert shipments their way. At the right price. That was Shadis job, to make one side so stupid the other got the better end of the arrangement. People, men in particular, were stupid when it came to sex, which is why she wore the Shadi mask most often. She swallowed the transmitter lozenge. Outside the house, a Trandoshan and Gamorrean stood watch, leering her as she approached. The Gamorrean was probably here for Balish Klynt, the representative of the Hutt cartel. Which meant the Trandoshan was guarding Vouru Kaish. She approached him now, stepping into Shadis skin. I do believe your boss is expecting me, She announced in a sultry timbre, meeting his eyes. Trying to at least, as his eyes wandered down her figure and drank in her cleavage. She didnt to look at the Gamorrean to know he was also gawking. I imagine he is, the bodyguard said, when he finally meet her eyes again. The was a look of lust and jealousy in his eyes, yet also filled with the knowledge that she could be bought. Even by a man like him, if this deal went through. Of course everyone could be bought, if one possessed the right currency. With a nod she was let in, and in the living quarters, she came face to face with a Quarren, Balish Klynt, while Vouru Kiash, the Falleen, sat with his back to her. You hired some entertainment? Balish asked, watching her take off her coat to reveal the rather revealing outfit she had chosen to wear. Yeah, to celebrate our deal! Vouru declared, holding up his half full glass. We havent come to a deal yet, the Quarren reminded him, not yet done inspecting Shadi. Well, we should get back to it then, The Falleen suggesting, draining his glass. Or we could take a break from talking and enjoy the lovely company of He looked at her know and for a brief moment his brow furrowed before it relaxed, and he grinned at her What is your name, hun? Shadi, She said with a smirk, giggling as the Falleen pulled her into his lap. Despite his actions, she could sense fear and anger in him now, at the sight of her, and the mention of his name. This wasnt good. Could I get a drink? Maybe a Whiskey? She said, activating the communication pill she already swallowed, alerting Quinn as to the trouble she was anticipating.
