Naitia leaves the cantina and heads down the street again. Even though there was something about that twi'lek that she didn't like, she was right about the fact that she looked to much like a newcomer.
Well, that was something she had to deal with later. Even though the rain helpen a little. She looked up to the sky above her, only to get greezy rain drops in the eyes.
She proceeds down the street. Night is approaching, and a lot more people is walking up and down the streets. She closes the buttons on her jacket, to prevent any attempt of pocket thieves to reach to her lightsaber, if they could get passed her reflexes.
Trying to proceed with her search, and narrowing it down, she search with the Force after a known presence there. Even though she didn't know Derek that well, she knew him well enough to feel his presence. But it was hard, among other people. She had to keep searching from place to place.
She steps inside a smaller place, than the one where she met the twi'lek and her gang; a bar of some kind. She looks around for sensing people around her. But still nothing.
She walks up to the bar, near the bartender, who's in some conversation with a quarren.
"Excuse me!?"

The Bartender, a somewhat fat, but rather tall human, looks at Naitia, while wiping off his dirty hands in his yet dirtier shirt. He lets his gaze wander down her body, nodding.
"Yes?"

"I'm looking for someone. A man, but I don't know where to find him." She sense him noticing her features. "I was wondering if you could have any information on him?"

The bartender makes no attempt to hide his interest in Naitia and her body. Actually, he gives her a second look, just for the hell of it.
"Well, that depends on who this guy is, doesn't it?"

"Oh well." Naitia leans in on the bar, and sends him a smile lopsided. "I'm sorry to disappoint you. But it was actually someone that I know, that I'm looking for. He didn't exactly give me the direction to where I could find him."

The Bartender raises his eyebrow, looking at Naitia.
"I don't see how you're disappointing me, girl. I don't care whether or not you know this guy. All I'm saying is, whether or not I can tell you anything, depends on who he is..."

"Ah, I see." Naitia nodds and remains calm.
"His name is Derek Arnau. Do you know him?"

The Bartender looks thoughtful for about half a minute or so, then shakes his head.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I've ever heard that name before. Do you know how he looks?"

"Tall, brown, long hair, a little dark skinned." Naitia thinks a little before she continues. "Human, if that helps. And he's around my age."

The Bartender laughs whole heartedly.
"Sweetheart, I'm gonna need a little more than that. You just described about half of all young men in the galaxy"

"In the galaxy, yes! But not here on Nal Hutta. Nal Hutta isn't the whole galaxy, you know, and it's narrowed down a lot, with all these other races running around on this planet."
She straightens up and nodds towards the bartender. "Just tell me if you don't know anything, and then you can go back to ... what ever you were doing."

A man, seated at the bar - interestingly with darkish skin and long black hair, but somewhere in the 30s and unshaven - looks up at Naitia and says "Nal Hutta may be a poodoo hole, Miss, but they serve the best damn Corellian brandy... apart from on Corellia itself of course." He is dressed rather plain clothes, a blaster in his belt on his right side and some kind of metalic tube at his right side, which looks like a hilt of some kind.
"Now sit down and let me buy you a drink, and we can discuss that Derek of yours". He raised and eyebrow and smiled, "I might know him".

The bartender nods with a smile.
"Well, it being here on Nal Hutta may narrow it down a bit, but I tell you, I know at least a dozen guys with that description you gave me, so I would require more information. But, if this gentleman knows who you're talking about, lucky you..."
The bartender turns his attention to Jaymz.
"So, a Corellian Brandy and...? or maybe two brandies?"

Naitia turns her head towards Jaymz, frowning.
"I think I'll pass on the drink." She looks shortly back at the bartender, as the comment was for him. She then turns her attention back to the man.
"Well, I know that you're not Derek." She sits on the chair next to him, taking a closer look at him. "Even though there are some similar appearence about you."

The man laughs "Well, I know I'm not Derek, too... hold on". Nodding at the bartender, he says at the bartender "Make it two... for me, then".
Smiling at Naitia, he says "Where was I? Oh, yeah. He sounds familiar to me, at least the way you described him." His jovial expressions give way to a more serious facial expression. "I think I might know him."

The bartender nods to Kirok, and turns his back on the pair, while preparing the drinks. He places two glasses in front of Kirok, and smiles to Naitia.
"And there's nothing else the Lady might be interested in?"

"No thank you." Naitia turns her attention back to Jaymz.
"Well, I'm glad that we agree on that. And how do you know, that it just isn't the same with you, as it is with the bartender here. That you probably know at least half a dozen men, with the same description?"

Scratching his unshaven chin, Kirok says "You have a point there, I give you that". Then, while giving Naitia a long scrutinizing look he says, "But, unlike our friendly barkeep here, I recognize the name Derek Arnau."
He hesitates, still looking at Naitia, "Come to think of it. You look familiar, too. Do we know each other.... have we met before?"

The Bartender nods to Naitia, looking slightly disappointed, but then turns his back on the pair, starting to clean the counter behind him. There's no doubt however, that he is listening in on their conversation.

Naitia looks suspiciously at the bartender for a moment, but then again turn towards Jaymz. While he says she looks familiar, she frowns a bit, and looks more closely at his features.
"Maybe. You look familiar too. But ..." again with a glanse towards the bartender, she proceeds. "It could be a coincidence. But tell me, you say you might know Derek?"

The man nods, taking a sip of brandy [OOC: He did get the drinks, right?], obviously enjoying it. "To tell you the truth, I am looking for him, too", he says. "And it might be a coincidence that we seem to know each other", he mumbles, now realizing why she is familiar to him, "Seems we're one big family here, sigh". Then he turns to the bartender and says with a sly smile "Hey, barkeep, stop listening and get me a whole bottle of brandy, will ya."

The Bartender clears his throat, somewhat embarrassed that Kirok saw through him that easily. However the embarrassed look is replaced by a rather satisfied one, as he realizes he's just sold a whole bottle of brandy.
"Sure sir, anytime" He pulls up a bottle from underneath the counter, and places it in front of Kirok.
"Just let me know if you require anything else, sir"

"I'm sure he will," Naitia smiles less than satisfied to the bartender.
"Well, apparently we have met, I can't put my finger on when, but ..." her eyes run down to his weapons in his belt and falls on the tube that attatched there. "I can figure out where!"
After a short silence, she returns to looking him in the face. "But why are you looking for Derek?"

"Well", Kirok says, putting a hand on that hilt-like thing in his belt, "I just need a little chat with the fellow." Then he empties the two glasses of brandy in two gulps and graps the bottle. "Why are you looking or him?"

Post by Naitia La-Don on Aug 28, 2008 9:34:38 GMT 1
With another look towards the bartender, Naitia sits more comfortable in her seat.
"The council sent me. They, kind of, lost track of him, and needs his help with something."

Post by Jaymz Kirok on Aug 28, 2008 14:04:37 GMT 1
"What council? Ah, the council", he says looking at the bottle of brandy before stuffing it into his backpack. "How are those geezers doing?"

"Fine, I suppose." Naitia frowns at Jaymz's way of calling the Jedi Council "geezers".
"They're a little pressured at the moment. Which is understandable."
After a pause, she proceeds. "So I assume, since you call them geezers, that you're not that much into what's going on, at the moment?"

"That's true", he says leaning back on his chair, "haven't been mixed up in any Jedi business for a long time, so I don't really know what's going on in the Jedi camp these days."
Putting his hands behind the back of his head, he raises an eyebrow and says "But I suspect something is going on. Disturbances in the Force and all that poodoo."

"Ahh, so you wouldn't know, tat several other Jedi has left the Order as well? Because of other issues than yours, I'm sure of, since you don't know what's going on at home."
Naitia thinks a little about when she had seen him before.
"Do you know where Derek might be?"

Post by Jaymz Kirok on Aug 29, 2008 21:02:29 GMT 1
"I had my reasons to leave the Order" he says, "and I'm sure those guys had too. Not that it matters to me." The utterance is followed by a shrug, and then a kind of confessional smile "Although I admit, I am a wee bit curious."
Lowering his voice a bit, Kirok leans towards her and says "To be perfectly honest, I have no clue where he is, but I know Nal Hutta pretty well, so I'm sure I can help you out... and you can helt me out too."
