Izel was exceptionally pleased with where her travels had brought her this time. The Jedi seemed to have a habit of leaving their relics in the most desolate and displeasing places. This world though seemed like a paradise, if not quite as humid as her homeworld. As she stood at the edge of the spaceport, enjoying the cool morning breeze washing over her, she was puzzled as to how the planet could be so lightly populated.Outer Rim
The large insectoid alien was completely unaware of the wary glances the local inhabitants cast her way, instead flicking her antennae and clicking her mandibles excitedly as she entered the settlement. She had come to the planet in search of any signs of the Jedi, but first on the agenda was something to eat. She had little opportunity to do so while hiding on the starship that brought her here. Approaching a nearby fruit stand she received an unpleasant scowl from the burly vendor.
"Hello!" She said cheerily as she grabbed a fruit straight from the stand, infuriating the man.
"Hey!" He snapped. "What are you-"
"Oh just a moment," Izel cut him off as she reached into her pocket. "I know I have... Credits... Somewhere..." She paused as she realized, once again, she was broke. Clicking nervously she raised her hand as she took a few steps back. "You... wouldn't be interested in donating to the needy would you?" The man did not look in a generous mood. He stormed forward, poking painfully at Izel's chest as he scolded her.
"You aliens think you can just waltz around like you own the place and take whatever you like eh?" He asked. "You know what we do to thieves around here bug?" As he spoke a few other locals gathered around her in a circle, looking very unfriendly.
"I imagine you report them to the proper authorities..." Izel answered earnestly.
"Are you mocking me?" The vendor asked angrily. Izel's antennae twitched as she tilted her head.
"No?" She asked, and extended her hand with the fruit. "Uh, you can keep it. I'll find something else to eat..."
"I think we should teach this alien freak some manners." One of the other ruffians piped up, reinforced by a "Yeah!" from another. Izel looked between the gathered group just now realizing the danger, dropping the fruit and taking her staff in both hands.
"This seems unreasonable..." She muttered as they closed in on her.
