Nar Shaddaa

Joly shit! The ride here had not been easy!

Baes panted hard as she reached the Hutt's mansion. The whole mandalorians affair almost made her late!

"Hi! I am Padawan Zyn, I have an appointement."

A droid says, “Oh yes, please come in can I bring you some water? Tea? My master will be along shortly.”

The interior was lush with many plants and a natural motif that clashed with the neon holo signs just right outside the windows. She could hear two people singing… or whistling perhaps but on a register that seemed improbably for most humanoids.

''Oh! Thank you! Water would be appreciated.'' she replied to the droid with a courteous nod, observing the beautiful decor.

''I'll admit, that's classy''

“Why thank you, my Master appreciates the aesthetic appeal of nature,” the droid says.

A plump but short huttling eases his way into the hallway and says in Huttese in a soft voice, “You must be the Jedi, Baesal, please come in. I was just having a relaxing read. How can this humble one help you?”

''You are correct, I am Baesal Zyn.'' she said, all smiles. She followed up with a traditionnal togrutan curtsy. ''It is a pleasure to meet you''

''I am sorry to interrupt your read but I hope I will not bother you for long. I am here to ask about a plant that I suspect used to grow in this sector.''

"Oh, what kind of plant?" the huttling asks.

Baesal takes out a picture of the beautiful plant and hands it to the hutt

''I do not know its name, sadly, but its hue is quite admirable.''

The huttling looks at the picture and says, "Well this is interesting, it seems related to this." She slithers over to a plant that looks similar but does not resonate with the force.

"Perhaps this is some rare offshoot, I have not seen one personally but this is intriguing. Look in the small details here," the huttling gestures at the picture. "This is quite the find. Could I see it? I would need a cutting to learn more."

OOC: Using the 4 advantages.

Gardener Xenology + Boost for Area of Specialty: 2eP+2eA+1eB+4eD 2 failures, 4 advantage

Baesal follows the gardener and inspects the plant

''Yes...it *is* similar'' she scratched her chin ''Master Thun was right: you are quite brilliant in your field''

She frowns thinking

''Where does this one come from?''

"I found this variety on Nal Hutta, deep in the swamps, it was a rather lucky find it would not have survived long in that polluted environment," she responds.

''I suppose so''

She examined the plant

''Can you tell me a more precise location or the ecology of the place? If I use the Force once on location I might be guided to either of these specimen''

"Just a moment, I need to check my notes. Are you an explorer by hobby?" she asks as she looks at her computer.

"More or less" she replies honestly "I'm mostly gearhead but I would lie if I said that I did not enjoy the thrill of discovery."

She looked over the the decor once more

"Getting to see various aspect of the galaxy is a great boon"

"I am not much of an explorer, most of my samples were found in the field, but I don't like to court danger," the huttling responds.

''I understand. Its often hard for a scholar to get what she needs.''

She crossed her hands behind her back

''How long have you been interested in botany madame?''

"Long time, much longer than I am sure you have been alive. I enjoy the pursuit of science, we Hutts have great scientists you know," she says providing the padawan the coordinates and information.

"I don't doubt it!'' she seemed quite appreciative

''Ah! thank you.'' She said looking at the coordinates.

''Like I said, I'm mostly good at computing and engineering but I hope to expend into earth sciences as well soon''

"Oh?" the huttling falls into more academic conversation with the Jedi...
