Nar Shaddaa

"We might as well enjoy it because we're stranded in this place whether we want it or not, Baes. I just hope the lead won't get old, but I can't help it. Security is too tight. Something must have happened."

Moyr looked around.

MA5. Bounty. Stealth. Baes' Assistance. Scrutiny Setback. Sleight of Mind.: 2eP+1eA+3eB+1eC+2eD+1eS 1 failure, 2 advantage, 1 Despair

Baesal made a face

"Oh noes! I am stranded with my best buddy Who is equipped with jaw-dropping buttocks! What Am I gonna do?"

She chuckled

"Well, we could use this time to talk or go shopping"

"Protect the tush, of course." Moyr smirked. "Let's stay put here, get a drink or two." She scanned the crowds in the Shadows. "It's good to hide in play sight until Hutt securite loosens a little over this section." She allowed herself a moment of relaxation.

MA5. Cool.: 3eA 3 successes


[-3 Strain]

''Sure thing sis, I'll watch that tush like if my life depended on it'' she said with a chuckle

''Aside from that, any new leads on Yulo?'' she says in a whisper

"I resolved that matter." Moyr said quickly. "You've never told be what you learned from the swamp witches though."

She arched an eyebrow

''I recon I did...why do you say that?''

She cratched her head

''I even got a plant for you''

"I was wondering if there was something you didn't say when the boys were around."

She mused.

"I get it's a fake one."

''Yeah, like we discussed.'' she replied

''They are still rare and impossible to differenciate by sight. The fact that it only reacts to the light makes me think Zhorrid might take the bait...unless she just becomes a lightside user all of a sudden. I'm pretty sure she'll just want to destroy it after a cursory glance if she's like you told me.''

"It's better than nothing, but I don't think she'll bite. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, you'll know why." Moyr shrugged.

Baesal pouted

''Oh come on''

"I am serious, Baes. Sadly. But I'll deal with what is at hand and see where it takes me." She shrugged. "My own death is not one of those things I am afraid of the most."

''I can defend myself and I will fight for your sister if needs be'' she said as confident as she could

''I'm no delicate flower...well not too delicate''

Moyr put her hand on the Togruta's shoulder and squeezed it lightly, then her fingers began playing with the tip of the other woman's lekku.

"I know what you're made of, my fair gazelle... Let me just settle one more thing for good. Back on the ship, when we weren't alone, you told me all that you wanted me to know about your encounter with the Black Witches?"

''Did you think I was lying?'' she could not help but frown

''She refused to reveal much of anything about the plants...the only thing I could get of any utility was the Hollow Lake location''

She tilts her head

''Why?''

"I had a feeling you were not telling me all that is to tell. It was a while before you came back. But maybe I am wrong." She leaned back in the seat. "I have been investigating those Black Witches. I would still like to know what the Black Tree is."

She shrugs

''I have no idea what it is'' she replies honestly

''So, you knew something that I did'nt and assumed I was lying to you?''

"Blame yourself for being a forgetful Togruta. I know for a fact I told you about it day one!" Moyr bopped Baes' nose with her finger.

''Ow!'' she rubbed her nose

''I was focused on the task at hand when I met her...I figured there was nothing that would interest you since they are lightsiders''

"Just like nothing on the Dark Side is of interest to you. Pshh." Moyr looked toward the ceiling.

She could not help but giggle

"Well if the scary red lady is wanting to use the light...I'll be happy to help."

She looked Moyr up and down grinning "You would look great in white"

"I would look terrible." Moyr cut it short. "As would you. But you know this, hence you're wearing black so often."

Moyr was tired of these games of evasion. She wanted to put stop to them also because they kept undermining her faith in her friend, and she didn't want to push it to a breaking point. She hoped the mistrust was temporary.

"Okay, let's check if the Hutt goons have moved out. Maybe we're good to go."

"Well there goes my segway into something else" she replied while trying not to burp

She could not help but sense something was wrong...she usually was'nt perceptive but she knew Moyr better then most

"Before we go...I think you have something on your heart, no? Please speak it...I can be dense on some things but I know this situation is difficult. We need to speak se something comes up."

"Well get back to it later, okay, dear? The job won't do itself." She sighed, not really trusting herself to not make a fuss that could turn the volatile situation in a bad direction. "I don't enjoy speaking about difficult stuff with you in places we can't hug."

Well Baesal did have a soft spot for her and had to let go

''Allright, we'll keep that for later''

"Good." Moyr brushed her fingers along Baes' back-lek. "Let's go." She led the way out.
