Holding Court

[Norbaal Durga Bareesh]

Nor’baal Bareesh had been entertaining often of late, some scrawny looking pod-racer earlier today, and whoever this next suitor would turn out to be. It was proving to be a fantastic ego fluffer - after all, there was little Nor’baal could offer that the larger and more influential Hutt Criminals could not do likewise.

Reclining at the back of his personal lounge, built off the side of his grubby cantina, Nor’baal cast his eye over the assembled mass. A few bounty hunters, some bar workers, assorted scum and a smattering of people clearly here to spy on him. Dominating the wall behind him, naturally, a vast sigil of the Imperial throne resided - a constant reminder of his overlords.

Waving his grubby hand, he allowed the next person to approach.

 

[Jedrek]

Jedrek wasn't here to make friends, but allies. Which was why this meeting was somewhat important, hutts still have a lot of power even if they aren't able to use it as much anymore. With the Republica strangling this region it would create opportunities such as what he was trying to do now. This Hutt simply owned a bar nothing special about that, but he came in with his Sith attire hood, helmet the whole thing. He wanted a ally not a potential back stabber and such will keep his identity as much a secret as possible. The cloak covered most of him and the hood hide his helmet somewhat but on close inspection one would be able to find it.

Under the cloak a black tunic with his lightsabers on his hip and his hands hovering over them already. Prepared for any last minute defenses. This was crime town, literally best to be prepared. But as the signal for him to approach came the Sith took a second to breath in the toxic area, just as toxic as Nal Hutta but a different kind. Here it was more industry and spice then waste.

Standing just in front of the massive Hutt, Jedrek was quiet for some time, if any came to push him he would simply open up his cloak to reveal the lightsabers. But after a minute or two has pass he would speak.

"I came looking for some work." Was all the Sith said, for now he needed to put his foot into the pool and not play his hand completely right now.

Nor’baal had to make a concerted effort to not shudder as he saw the two lightsabers adorning his guests hips. Sith, rarely, came bearing good news - the slug could only hope that today was to be the outlier to that clause. Bowing slightly as the man approached, he prepared his catalogue of lies and pleas, as well as hearty ream of ‘but it wasn’t me!’ phrases, only to fall deathly still when the Sith asked, for work.

Collecting himself, Nor’baals face split into a wide gummy smile.

”Oh! Do na basa!” he boomed, quickly accelerating his thoughts, away from begging and more toward just how he could use this situation. Waving his droid forward, the machine opened a data-pad, as Nor’baal pretended not to look interested.

”The. Wise and. Powerful.” the droid began in stoccatto like speech ”Nor’baal the. Hutt. Has many Opp. ortunities available. Bounty. Hunting. The Collection of. Goods.” the Droid spattered on, waiting for the man to interrupt and express interest.

 

[Jedrek]

While the slug seemed to freak for a time, Jedrek smiled behind his mask. Sure that this creature already beginning to plan up schemes and excuse. But for now once the Hutt realized what was going on his smile began to irritate the Sith. For most of his life he hated these creatures and his hated hadn't died down a bit. He knew what this thing was, and what it did to those it had under its control. As a man who had once lived on Nal Hutta, he was fully aware of what Hutt's were like and how they should all simply die.

But Jedrek needed power and not just with his skills in blades and the Force. No he needed credits and allies who could help bring him up when he began moving. Which was why when the Hutt spoke and allowed the droid to speak for him, Jedrek grew somewhat irritated allowing the droid to finish though.

"I can understand the Huttesse perfectly fine. Nor'baal understand I am not some poor bounty hunter, nor a dried up relic which is looking for a way back into the game. I come looking for a challenge and in return I expect favors in return, which I shall collect later on. Now Nor'baal what do you need to expand so I might better use you later." Jedrek understood that he needed to establish some sort of dominance in the beginning despite this being the Hutt's turf, if Jedrek was to do something the Empire wouldn't care for a dead Hutt.

Sure Jedrek might have to watch his back for a long while but the Hutt's power in general has hit a all time low. While the Sith's power is still in charge of most things. He would wait to hear from this Hutt, not the droid that could barely speak, and Jedrek made a point never to turn his head to face the droid always looking straight at the Hutt. And his disgusting face.
