"I've only been captured here once," he replied, fastening the outer layer of his robes. Light enough to move in, armored enough to give him some protection. And, of course, the right color palette to complement both his and Vette's skin tones. "And besides, I managed to get out of that one."
"And who made that happen?" she punctuated the question with a little 'ta-da!' gesture with her lekku towards herself.
"Both of us, but mostly you." It'd been early on, when he was still finding his footing. It was lucky he'd survived with only a broken nose. "And you are going to be saving me again, by getting that information I need."
Vette sighed, frowning as she glanced down to check the straps on one of her pistol holsters. Neither of them really wanted to be here right now, but it was the best place to collect information on Darth Baras' plans. Which, they both suspected, included killing him. "For the record, your boss is stupid and sith are bad at life."
"I couldn't agree more."
"Agreeing with me so much makes arguing hard, you know."
"You're so right about that."
"Ugh!" She poked him in the stomach with a sheathed knife before sliding it into her boot. "I mean it though, be careful. And if you do anything funny, save me a holo, okay?"
"I will be." Baras had agents on all sides--he knew that well enough, he'd been sent to kill several of them before. He'd be traveling into dangerous territory for a Sith today. "And I'll give you a call to listen in if I can."
"Great!" she chirped. "Oh! And if you see any of those--"
"Of course I'm buying the cheesy puffs, I want those too."
She threw her hands up in mock exasperation. "Then what are you waiting for? Go give 'em hell and get us some puffs!"
"Hell and puffs, as you command," he grinned, leaning down to give her a kiss. "I'll see you later."
They left the ship and went their separate ways, Vette off to check in with her old gang, and he took a route towards the Nikto Sector. The gangs there were territorial, but that wasn't the real worry. He was using the sector as a means to approach Republic-aligned districts nearby, and there was a distinct chance an SIS listening post would pick him up anyway. He had some valid excuses for being there, but it likely wouldn't make a difference in the Republic's thinking.
Besides, he wanted them to see him. He had his own allies on Nar Shaddaa, and they'd be watching what happened, and who reported back to Baras.
So. All he had to do was walk towards enemy territory.
And buy some cheesy puffs.
