"Nightmares, this planet, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"Grainne leans back and whispers to the creature behind her, in her best sarcastic voice. Kal and Z'om'bi look at her mouths agape and wonder what the boss would think. Turning her attention to the vod, she winks and gives the it is OK signal.
Turning her attention to the blue creature, she looks up into his face."I used to live here. The old Jedi temple is about a few clicks to the west of here. This is the best bar you'll find around here. Neph and the guys will take good care of you!" Standing and sticking out her hand as a greeting, "I am Jedi Master Grainne Fett! Pleasure to make your acquaintance!"

He gives a little start, for he did not think he had spoken that loudly to himself.
"Wha?!? Oh, pardon I was distracted in my thoughts."
He turns awkwardly on the chair and starts to stand up, but realizes that his nine feet towering over this pregnant woman might not be well received by her two Mando companions who already seem a bit twitchy. He slowly extends a hand to shake her hand, not exceedingly slow, but enough that it is an obvious acknowledgment to her companions presence and to their benefit.
"Greetings... Master Grainne... Fett" The words come out with the obvious slight pauses as he speaks, it is quite obvious that they didn't register until he repeated them, but his recovery comes quickly. "It is quite the honor, I am Takeda Kaga Haakan of the Takeda, I am not even on this wondrous planet an hour, not counting the orbital traffic of course, for the first time and have the distinction of meeting a Jedi Master, and one of the Fett clan, thank you for honoring me with your introduction." he bows to her slightly.
*in his head* "What have I gotten myself into now"

Kal stands and comes to her side as Z'om'bi just pushes his seat out. Grainne looks up as Takeda starts to stand then watches his large frame sit down. Shaking his hand, her own gets lost. Kal watches everything and sighs, muttering,and looks at Z'om'bi. "Shabla aaray aliit we have!" Watching Kal sit down, Grainne sits herself and looks at the creature. "Pardon Kal, he as well as Z'om'bi, aran."
Blinking to her slef, she forgets that not everyone speaks Mando'a. "Kal is my husband's Major Domo, and Z is the muscle." Z chcukles and sits back as Kal finally relaxes. Looking at Takeda, she grins slightly. "You are Kwa correct? I have heard tales of your species and clans never met on in person! I am truly honored!"

He gives a bow of greetings to her two companions as she introduces them in turn, then returns to addressing her; he is not sure of Mando culture, but will assume it is enough like what he is familiar with form the Clans, to address her directly and not pay them any mind unless she instructs them to be her go-between.
"Yes, I am Kwa, and no we generally do not get in nearly this far. I only hope I can live up to any expectation." he pauses and takes a sip of his drink, and extends a hand to a chair. Please make yourself comfortable, you honor me as a guest, and if I am not overstepping myself, I would like to ask you a few questions about the planet."

Standing and pulling her seat around, Grainne adjusts her robes, sabers, and EE-3 before settling down in the chair. "I haven't been back to this planet in a long time Takeda, I can help in anyway. Normally I am onYavin IV or Concord Dawn." Z'om'bi and Kal settle in with her. Z'om'bi turns to her, speaking in a hushed tone, "Clans of Kwa are slightly different then ours Boss Hottie." Looking at Z she frowns, "Clans are clans Z, remember that."
Kal snickers and looks at his charge in a different light. He knew Grainne was a diplomat and a teacher, but she has melted the Hoth ice cap with Takeda. A sense of pride envelops him. He is truly honored to work with Grain'ika .

Nods as she comments on her mention of the other two planets.
"Both of those are also on my list of have not been to, I was to make a run to Yavin a few months back but I passed the contract to one of my clansmen who needed a good stable run." He finishes his drink, and orders a soft-drink at the next opportunity. "I have not had the chance to familiarize myself with the districts of this city, well the whole planet of course; and as such I am not quite sure where the Quaran district actually is, though I do know I am at least in the right quadrant. For that I did luck out and arrived ahead of schedule, I might take some time here and see the sights, since it is the center of it all... A slightly excited expression comes over his face for a moment before remembering his place and calming. "Do they offer tours of the Temple or the Senate Complex?? My apologies, this is quite new to me and the prospect of having at least an extra day to relax and possibly enjoy the places I am traveling to instead of just going through them is a novel idea."

Shaking her head, Grainne looks at Takeda. "We moved everything out of the Temple. There is nothing left, save for a few squatters who have no where else better to live." Attempting to read Takeda is impossible with the ysalamiri around.
Thinking back to the time she spent on this planet, she shutters and rubs the scar on her right arm. "Concord Dawn, right now is super busy with harvest and production. Unless you want to roped into work, I would avoid it!" Grainne chuckles and winks at Takeda.

He nods to her.
"I know how that is, I think I will wait until they are ready to ship things off-world to visit there then." He chuckles before taking a sip of his soft drink. "I heard the Jedi Temple is at Yavin, I did not realize the one here was essentially abandoned. It is sad then that the old building is now just a shell, I figured it would have been turned into a museum or school of sorts. And I am even more surprised someone has not filed a deed against it for it's abandoned status. I would be afraid to fall asleep on the street here, someone would build on top of me."

Looking at Takeda, she frowns a little. "Other then this place, I would never lay my head to rest in this town ever again!"
Fiddling with her empty glass, Grainne bites her tongue and remembers she is a diplomat. "Takeda, what type of work do you do? You know so much about me because of my babbling, but I know nothing about you."

He is taken aback for a moment and then laughs heartily.
"First off, I would never accuse a Jedi Master nor a Fett of babbling, and to not be contrary to your own opinion of it would be as insulting as if I had directly. I'm a relatively typical Kwa, but a bit more traveled is all. In general I am an owner/operator of a transport, but you know how it is there are all these little wars and skirmishes popping up, so it is still to lucrative to hire oneself out into service as a mercenary on occasion, though due to the Clan I only take definitive contracts, not open ended."
He takes a sip of his soft-drink before continuing. "So here I am, on leave from service to my Clan. Half way across the galaxy in a club on a planet I have never been to before, which so happens to be the center fo the galaxy for all practical purpose and talking with a Jedi Master who happens to be a Fett. They are never going to believe this one back home... Normally I am used to having some of the better stories in a room, but here I am simply out classed."
His expressions sadden a hair as he continues, "I have only knowingly met a Jedi once before, but I cannot say I actually knew her, for we did not speak. I do not think any of us save maybe the Clanlord at the time knew her name. She was older and suffered form some debilitating disease or injury, and had come to our planet to die in peace. I took her a meal once when I was still young and in training, the Clanlord had asked my uncle to house and care for her. She passed not long after arriving, we saw to her wishes and needs as much as possible. We knew the Jedi were hunted at the time so we kept to ourselves for a while and let her die in peace. We set a memorial stone for her, to my knoweldge she never gave any instruction or clue to notify anyone of her passing. I am sure now things are different the Clanlord would be quite honored and obliging for the record keeper to look into it if another Jedi was ever to request it. I am sorry that came out, it has been years, and I assume as another Jedi, she would have wanted the news of her passing shared with another, but I really have no idea of your culture, out there is is probably more rumor than truth floating around."

Looking up at Takeda, she smirks, "Fett by marriage, Kenobi by birth. Please remember that, thank you! Winking at him, Grainne smiles at Kal and Z.
"Many myths and misconceptions about the Order abound. Heard them all."
Getting a little rattled about the Jedi who decided to go to die on his home world. "Takeda, if you could get any information about the Jedi your Clan helped, I would be grateful. Post Order 66, a very very dark time for all." Looking up her eyes turn a deeper hazel recalling the stories she has heard. Kal places his hand on her's and squeezes. "It was hard for all of us, Grain'ika. I blame myself sometimes for it happening. I trained those boys to go into battle. Walon feels the same. That is why he and I have devoted what is left of our lives to protecting you and ad'ika!" Looking down to her unborn daughter, she looks up and smiles softly to the men she thinks of like her other father and brother.
"Takeda, your Clan is lucky they where as far out as they where!" Playing with her glass, she looks down. "You may not have made it."

Listening to her words, he is tempted to order another solid drink but decides to order a large carafe of Noobian cider instead, seeing her glass is empty and who knows what her armored companions have been drinking or if they are or are not on duty.
"Alive I may be, but alas it makes me a poor conversationalist, I only hear bits and pieces of big current events, to your they are probably part of your daily life. Oh and my apologies, I did not realize your were a Fett by marriage, and I am kind of at a loss as to the significance of the Kenobi, though on second thought I seem to recall having heard of a Jedi Master by that name, though I guess that was from prior to your marriage." He sighs "As I said, I am not up with current events and I must apologize." As the carafe arrives he offers to fill her glass first, then gestures it to her men, offering it them welcome to it if they wish.

Kal helps pour the drinks. Grainne covers her glass with her hand, because of her pregnancy, she can't drink anything hard. Z pounds his cider, and Kal slowly sips it and mumbles about it not being ti'haar.
"Takeda, would you like to join the us on Yavin IV. You could find out about the Jedi who your clan assisted. Our library is extensive, to say the least." Sitting back she looks at him, trying to see through him.

He chuckles lightly as she places her hand over her glass.
"My apologies for not clarifying, it is not a alcoholic drink. It would be rude of me to order something that either you or your men, if they are on duty, could not partake of."
He watches her men enjoy their drinks and then leans back considering her invitation to Yavin.
"Hmmmm. It is a very tempting offer, and yes I would very much be pleased with the chance to see it, and of course provide any information regarding the Jedi who came to us."
He pauses and takes a sip of his drink before leaning back into the chair in thought. He seems to be giving it careful consideration. After a moment, Takeda sits up a little straighter and takes another sip of his drink before answering.
"Yes, I think I will go directly on to Yavin from here regardless if I have a cargo there or not. This seems such a wonderful planet, but I think I might find it difficult to arrange a lucrative assignment here. Quite frankly there are plenty of established ship-captains in port and I do not have a well enough reputation here to be well received. "
"If you could give me a day to make my delivery, arrange for some supplies and parts and make a minor repair, it would be quite appreciated. I only ask that upon arrival at Yavin you could direct me to a reputable facility that I can contract some time with to make some more extensive repairs."
He takes a sip and then with a chuckle adds.
"Oh, and an affordable accommodation with a tall ceiling"

*finishes his drink*
Ahhhh....
*After what was clearly the longest drink in the club's history (Master lalaithion already has several awards for 'longest' other things in the club's history), Master lalaithion takes a look around the mostly empty club.*
