Ask Corellia An Unexpected Party

[Kliedden Raxx]

Klied just chuckled as he watched the two other hunters have at it. Not a perfect union perhaps, but they still had the potential to be a formidable team. Following Poffo into the cantina he slid into the side of the booth opposite them, leaning forward and watching the Rodian closely. During the interrogation he mostly stayed quiet, occasionally exchanging glances with Poffo. The brawler did all the hard work this time, and he just kept his gaze fixed on the mark. He was pretty good at picking out a liar, and fear had motivated Tairo well. He was telling the truth alright. He might not have always agreed with his partner's methods, but he rarely failed to get results.

"Suits me just fine." He finally answered Poffo, sitting back in his seat and glancing between the two hunters. "Hey Aska, you've got a ship right? And Ro won't recognize your face like he will Poffo or me. You could pose as a pirate looking to sell, that could get us close." Klied didn't expect Ro to do much other than book it the moment he caught wind of what they were doing. Which meant ambushing him was their only option. Otherwise they might end up slogging through hired muscle while their quarry escaped.

And Klied couldn't have that. He needed to get to Tyllon. Not only was he a promising challenge, he represented a humiliating lapse in judgement for the Onderonian. He had let him live on Coruscant because of his unwillingness to kill a defenseless opponent, and now people were suffering because of it. More than helping his partner get initiated into the Guild, it was his duty to correct his mistake.

[Aska Ryun]

Following the men as they ushered the whimpering Rodian into the nearest cantina, Aska opted to stand along the edge of the table Poffo picked while the giant brawler pinned their mark against the wall with Klied sinking into the seat oppoite them. The interrogation went smoothly, albeit Tairo had suffered himself another strong backhand from Sauvage and as the pair continued their questioning, Aska quickly stopped a server as she walked past before pulling a glass from her tray. About to object, the Twi'lek quickly realized that there was more going on with this interaction than was worth her time and instead opted to keep her nose out of things, leaving the beverage with the young clone.

"There's a mechanic yard there called Hezi's Yard. They really do repair ships there. Damn good at it to tell you the truth, but pirates often steal ships and bring them to Hezi to be chopped up and sold for parts. Ro is the buyer. He negotiates with the pirates on a price for the ship."

"Are we satisified?"

"Suits me just fine. Hey Aska, you've got a ship right? Ro won't recognize your face like he will Poffo or me. You could pose as a pirate looking to sell, that could get us close." As Klied spoke, Aska brought the drink beneath her nose, carefully taking a soft inhale of the scent it exuded. A tad bitter for her tastes, but booze was booze.

"Yea, the ship and the droid are waiting for me on a landing pad just a short walk away. Coronet isn't far from here, either. If we leave now, we can probably touch down before sunrise," Aska responded then proceeded to take a sip of the drink in her grasp. "I'll send word ahead to Kayto to prime the engines. Maybe give the air scrubbers a rinse too, if Poffo is going to be on board. That's a smell I would prefer didn't linger,"

[Poffo Sauvage]

Poffo laughed at the verbal jab. He'd heard worse. He looked at Klied. "Yeah, yeah. I like this plan. I really do. I like it a lot, yeah." Sauvage said. "I think we're really on to something here. And you're right, that scumbag Ro won't recognize this piece of work here," he said nodding his head toward Aska. "Ro always was a mark for a pretty face. Pretty being pretty subjective, yeah, if you know what I mean. He'll mess himself over a shot at a 5 or 6." He looked up at Aska, pretending to size her up again. "I suppose a solid 4 might do in a pinch."

The brawler put his massive arm around Tairo and squeezed his shoulder to the point that it was painful enough that the Rodian shed tears and started squirming. "And I think it might be best that our dealing daisy here make the little trip with us, yeeeeaah. I would hate to find that you've been spinning a yarn and we ain't got no blanket to hold on to when we get to Coronet City. So, juuuuuuuuust in case, I think you might need to take the little trip with us, yeah. And if you're taking us for a ride, then I'll take you for a ride all the way back to collect that bounty, yeah...and I'll be slapping you around the entire way....Can you dig it?"

Tairo was crying in pain from the shoulder pinch. He nodded heavily. "I got it! I got it! Please let go!"

Sauvage released his shoulder and patted it roughly. He looked up at Klied and Aska. "Well, then. I think we're a go."

Klied rolled his eyes as his two partners continued to bicker with one another. Hopefully this wasn't an example of what was to come. But so long as they got Tyllon, he supposed it was worth it. Seeing as everything appeared to be in order he put both hands on the table and stood up.

"Alright, let's get to it then." He said gruffly, and exited the booth. As he made his way to leave the cantina he whistled sharply, turning the head of the Twi'lek server Aska had taken the drink from. Without a word he reached into his pocket and tossed the girl a few credits before exiting the building.

And off to Coronet City now. The hunter sighed. Was it so much to ask for a more pleasant locale to work in? Oh well, a job was a job. And hunting down T'lol's dogs should prove entertaining at least. He could do worse. And who knew? Perhaps taking down someone like Tyllon would get him offers for even more challenging bounties. With both Poffo and Aska at his side he doubted there was any target in the galaxy he couldn't bring down.
