This was something Arthur was looking forward to. Some fun, subtle manipulation to get some rich snobs to stop buying expensive off-world clothes and instead support their own people. He really couldn't understand why they weren't buying more local stuff. Some of the vendors he had seen while driving through the streets looked talented to say the least. One or two shops actually drew his attention enough to have him pull over. Unfortunately he didn't pack for a shopping trip, so those nice coats and suits had to wait until the next time he made it this far into the galaxy.

Despite it still being afternoon, the city was dark with the heavy overcast. He just hoped it wouldn't start raining while they were still driving.

He glanced at his partner as he drove through the streets in his speeder. "Would you like to do the talking, or shall I?" he asked him calmly. He was genuinely surprised when he met the little critter. He was kind of adorable, but he kept his opinion to himself. Something about him simply told him that he didn't like comments about his looks at all.

They weren't too far from their objective. They had managed to set up a meeting with one of the primary sellers of these luxury goods to the aristocrats of Bakura. If they could convince this man that the items he was redistributing were not good for business, then the whole thing would come crashing down. He made some extra preparations by getting some info on local clothing shops to give the man an alternative in case he was worried about business going south.

"Is that a serious question?" Korsak was very well aware that his small size, plush fur, and missing limb meant that very few people took him seriously. Now, there were times where he could use the Force to impress his will on others, giving him a strength and power well beyond his size. Unfortunately this was not one of those times as the Eternal seemed fixated on these petty little stealth missions, subverting cultures to some greater cosmic end. If the creature had more interest in understanding and mastering the Force then perhaps the Eternals would have the power to bend reality with an errant thought. But no, intercepting junk dealers was more important than searching for sources of untapped power.

"You lead the negotiations, I will try to lean the proceedings toward you in a subtle manner. Hopefully we can complete this operation quickly and quietly. Better yet we might be able to relieve this man of his burden, I can't imagine everything he's sold his clientele is a crock."

If the man had any artifacts of note to Korsak or the Eternals then acquiring them would become a secondary goal for Korsak. If nothing else persuading the merchant to send his goods their way would cut the locals off from their favorite supply of tacky décor and pretentious conversations pieces.
