In a fairly well known cantina, close to the spaceport in Capital City, a dark blue twi'lek sits and looks on the people in the cantina. She has placed herself in the corner just next to the door and with her bag against the wall - easy to get out if needed and nobody can come to her from behind. Dodge is dressed in a dark orange top, matching her eyes, black pants, and looks comfortable. If you don't know her, she looks as if she is checking out everyone to find a target for a drink or a dance. It's not quite wrong, since her primary point to be here is talking with strangers and maybe pick up a job, just have fun or pick up some news.

Lots of strangers comes and goes, during the time the twi'lek sits in the corner of the bar.
Then another stranger enters, literary a tall dark one, a Wookiee , with dark fur and red eyes. He walk straight in, and even with his seize, he doesen't seem to stand out, it appears the he has learned how to stay overlooked. He walks straight to the bar, grab his drink and turns around and looks around then eyes the young twi'lek for a moment, the lets his gazes wander off.

The twi'lek looks straight in to the wookiee's eyes when he looks at her. The silver colour in the wookiee's fur catches her interest and she rises from the chair. She walks discreet to the bar, order and pay a drink, turns around and rests her back against the bar. From her new position she looks on casual people, waiting for the wookiee to sit down. Now she's seen the wookiee and noticed his height, she's not afraid to lose sight of him.

The wookiee seem to have no intentions of sitting. Even tough he seems relaxed, perhaps he is as alert as the twi'lekk, his mighty hands holds tight around the glass as he drinks. On the back ,his ryyk blades shimmers in the fades light. He turns his head as he sens the twi'lekk approaches and looks at her again.

Since the wookiee doesn't seem to have a need for sitting down anywhere, Dodge changes her tactics. She moves a bit around near the bar and end up sitting at a bar stool only a meter from the wookiee. "Good evening. Nice night for relaxing drink, right?" She keeps her voice natural and relaxed and looks like she's been doing this all her life.

The red eyes flickers, there is no doub that he understood every word of what she said, but as he growls it becomes quite clear that he has no translator with him, but the soft growls indicates that he agrees with the young girl. He lifts his glass in a freindly gesture.

Dodge sends a loop sided smile to the wookiee as she realizes the fact that he doesn't speak anything she is able to understand. She returns his gesture. Communication with one way understanding - this could happen to be interesting. "In the city without a translator?" She doesn't wait for an answer but continues talking. "It's lucky that a face and a tone do 80% of the communication between people."

The wookiee smiles slightly, then he growls flat and makes a dimissing hand gesture, perhaps he thinks he doesn't need one? He shrugs. The wookiee hums slightly as he turns a little towards the girl.

Dodge hesitate shortly before she agree with herself on what the wookiee means. "Do you have a name? - speakable in basic?" She let her orange red eyes study the wookiee's red ones for a moment and turns her attention to her drink.

The wookiee roars low and nods. He looks around to find a away of showing what his called, then he releases one of his blades gently from his back and points at it with a soft growl.

Dodge looks confused at the blade. Why is he carrying a blade, of anything, in a cantina and more important, what do he exactly want to say? "A guessing quest. Your name is blade? or is that too simple?" It's easy to see that Dodge enjoys communicating with the wookiee.

The wookie shakes his furry head, and point more delicately with a claw on the blade. He sighs and shakes his head as he runs he hand over the length of the blads and then points with a claw on it again.

"Okay." Dodge takes a closer look on the blade and watches the wookiee's movements carefully. Unfortunately it doesn't gives her any new ideas. She takes a look around in the cantina to get some inspiration. "Not blade.. Then steal? No.. it doesn't fit for you." She draws that conclusion without even looking at the wookiee but just at the blade. "Is it a name for a thing you can touch?"

The wookie snorts impatiently and sighs yet again. Then he looks around, how can he explain this? he looks down and then grabs a tuft of his silvery fur, he growls soft and flutters with the tuft.

Dodge looks from the blade to the tuft one time and then again, trying to figure out what they have in common. "They are both long.." her voice is hesitating and speculating but suddenly something makes sense in Dodge's head. "They are both silver!" She looks excited to see the wookiee's reaction.

The wookiee roars and lifts his mighty arms. Clearly her guess was correct. He puts aways his weapon again, and pads her once on the head with his larges hand, as to praise her for her guess work. He roars something to the bartender and he comers over to offer the girls something to drink.
Silver hums softly and nod towards her and makes a small hans gesture.

"Silver.. nice name" She celebrates with him and let him pad on her head and prises herself lucky - he didn't touch her sensitive lekku. She pick a quite light drink - she don't really do in getting drunk. "Thanks"

Silver growls again and nods towards the girl, he catches her eye shortly before he returns to his own drink, then he makes a seies of growls and huns to the bartender who makes a refill on his drink.

Dodge follow the communication between Silver and the bartender with great interest. She waits for the bartender to move away before she speaks. "A bartender who understands wookiee? He has find a good matching job." Dodge takes a sip of her drink, tilts her head when she looks at the wookiee. "Is it normal for a wookiee to have red eyes?" she asks in a wondering tone. To avoid sounding impolite she smiles and adds "I like the coulor."

The wookiee nods silent, since she can't understand him, why bother to speak at all? Silver opens his mouth, preparing for a hole speech, then closes it as she doesn't understand. He remains silent for a moment or two before he tries again. He shakes his head, it is afer all not normal for a wookiee to have red eye, but he his not normal after all.

Dodge follows Silver's actions and try to get as much out of it as possible. "I'm sorry I don't understand a word of wookiee" She says with a sincerely apologetic voice. "How do 'Dodge' sounds in wookiee?"

"Huh?" Dodge? He growls low, a very short sound. then he raises what would be an eyebrow, if he had one and looks at her in a asking manner.

Dodge tries to imitate the short sound. It turns out quite well for a bacis-speaker. She frowns critically at her own imitation, not really satisfied with the output. "It is my name! Dodge," she says to answer the wookiee's silent question.

the wookiee makes the same sounds again and nods towards her. He places a hand on his chest and then tucks in a tuft of silver fur. Silver empties his glass and shakes his head as the bartender tries to make another refill, then he turns his head towards the holoscreen as the news turns on.

"Dodge is my name and Silver is yours." Dodge returns the wookiee's nod and follows his eyes to the holoscreen. "The news.. interesting. Unfortunately the galaxy is far to big. You can't keep yourself updated about what's going on, on every single planet." As she speaks Dodge realizes that she has no idea what has happened the last five years. Suddenly she gets really interested in the news om the screen.

Dodge listens carefully to the news and a looped smile appears on her face. She looks discreet round in the cantina to notice if anyone have made a connection between the informations and the wookiee at her side. She makes a natural looking movement with her right arm and scratches her sides as if they were itching. What she really does is a check to be sure some of her thin, dark, well hidden, switchblade knifes are in the right place. They are. Dodge moves a little closer to the wookiee and asks him in a low but joking voice; "Do you want to borrow a pair of sunglasses? Someone here might find your red eyes interesting.."

The wookiee looks at dodge shortly before turning his gaze down to his drink. He grunts and rolls his revealing eyes. He is a lot older than her and perhaps that comment was too youthful for him just now at the moment. He whimpers to the bartender, who smiles in agreement.

"Okay" Dodge turns to her own drink and takes a sip. She try to figure out what to say to the wookiee. Just something to talk about. Her luck fails her. How do you chat with a wookiee about anything or nothing when he can't answer you in a language you're able to understand? Instead of talking she starts to study the cantina. How the people in here looks and how they act, who is in the spotlight of peoples attention and who is hiding in the shadows.

A group of security guards enter the cantina, their blasters held high. The leader lowers his blaster slightly, signalling to the others in the group.
"All right boys, move out. He's supposed to be in here" The cantina disk is not visible right as you enter the door, and that i probably the only reason they haven't seen the wookiee yet.
