Vahliri resisted the immense urge to scowl - watching as the group of Jedi continued to follow them like over-aggressive panhandlers. While she wasn’t particularly surprised by their behavior, everything about the half-Annfyn’s body language projected that it wasn’t welcome. It was a genuine sentiment, though on the surface, it would merely come across as a woman unhappy with her honeymoon and tour being interrupted by men and women.. Effectively harassing her for money.
By virtue of her sensitive hearing, the half-Annfyn was easily able to pick up on the conversation between the Jedi and a Selkath official, eliciting a slightly arched brow. The Selkath were a particularly suspicious and untrusting culture - especially when it came to outsiders. Importantly, it was a well known fact that the Selkath often found it rude to approach those who showed no signs of wishing to speak. Despite the little interaction she overheard, Vahliri highly doubted that the rest of the authorities or the city would be so forgiving to the Jedi and their antics.
“Fortunately, I have an assistant to point us in the right direction. But I am sure there is someone else who would benefit from your kind gestures,” Vahliri said with a forced smile, tugging her ‘wife’ a bit closer, almost protectively - her voice a bit more forceful than before. She didn’t enjoy being openly stalked and harassed, and made that fact easy to decipher for anyone watching nearby.
Her gaze flicked to Erik when a question was asked - though Celeste did her the courtesy of answering first. Vahliri pursed her lips a bit, patience running exceptionally thin for their tag-alongs. “Indeed. Eco-friendly solutions I would hope to replicate elsewhere.” It was no secret that Induparan culture valued conservation and environmentalism, evident by the pristine nature of their homeworld. Nothing about Vahliri’s background would seem out of the ordinary for the pair of Jedi listening.
“Lovely idea, dear.” Vahliri said, giving the woman’s hand a squeeze. “A bit of time just to ourselves would be rather nice,” She said with a warm smile - at this point ignoring the Jedi she seemed to want to follow them the entire damn way. The customs desk wasn’t much of a concern - especially given she wasn’t carrying any physical weapon.
“Do have a wonderful day,” Vahliri said back to the Jedi, proceeding right along with Val and Celeste. They would move through customs quickly, and be on the other side of the city if things went well. And the half-Annfyn didn’t expect it would go any other way.
