Hunter and Yelena had been separated the moment Rarssk's ship had landed on Tatooine, something Hunter wasn't happy with but he was stuck with Hondo and Yelena had been led off, according to Hondo probably to be shown to Gabul and while Rarssk and his guards were aware of what Tech and Jaina did. Hondo had actually managed to smoothly convince Rarssk he and Hunter had no idea of their plans (Rarssk was ignorant to think Yelena had no involvement just because she was a 'slave'). Hunter and Yelena admitted quietly they were shocked at how Hondo was actually able to handle it. Though when Hondo and Hunter arrived at the barge and headed inside with Rarssk, Hunter's gaze flickered around for Yelena beneath his helmet while Hondo muttered that he'd keep an eye out for the goggled man and Jaina. Gabul's barge was entirely different from his ship, it was much closer on the inside compared to the vastness of the ship. However, it was still much bigger than the Marauder but not the same size as the Falcon, however, larger than Jabba's own barge (probably for Gabul to show off his money to clients). Rarssk approached the pirate and sergeant when they entered the main room of the barge "I have business with one of Gabul's clients in the back, but he knows you're here. He says to make yourself comfortable and approach him when you've settled in, so you may make your case pirate and he can introduce himself as Gabul's bodyguard." Rarssk hisses and informs the two of them, looking from Hondo and nodding to Hunter.

"Ah, yes, of course. We will most definitely do that, food and drink and women of species." Hondo grinned with some excitement, Hunter just giving Rarssk a nod while the trandoshan rolled his eyes and turned and left. "His business most definitely has to do with the destruction of Gabul's estate." He says quietly to the sergeant who glances at him from behind the helmet, but nods.

"I heard it on the comms on the way down, they know, but Echo, Omega, Zarin, and Wrecker are safe and should be back at the Falcon." Hunter replies lowly to the weequay who hums, both of their gazes looking around while Hunter frowns. "She has to be around here somewhere." He mutters, Hondo knowing he was obviously referring to Yelena.

"She is pretty and she will be pretty to him, he keeps the prettiest by his side. Once the barge takes off, they will enter the room." Hondo explains shortly and Hunter really did not like the sound of it. "Look, it's Jaina and Tech." He nudges Hunter when he spots Tech and Jaina blending in with a crowd in the room, however, they both recognized the two. Hunter looks at Tech and Jaina, giving them a firm nod they respond to before disappearing from sight. It didn't take long for the barge to start moving seconds later and that was when Gabul appeared in the main room of the barge, Hondo spotted Yelena first and chuckled to himself. The jedi was not happy in the slightest, she was forced into a demeaning blue outfit adorned with little jewels on the edge, it was a long sheer skirt and tight long-sleeved sheer top, and if it wasn't for the brassiere beneath it you'd see a lot. He could tell how irritated and angry she was, he had no doubt she had the intention of being the one to kill Gabul. However, the pirate did have to hold some sympathy when he spotted a chain around her neck that ended in Gabul's hand, the pirate grimacing. Jabba treated his female slaves he kept close the same way. Hondo winced when Gabul tugged harshly on the chain and forced Yelena back.

"They said Gabul's new slave was a pretty one." a slimy bounty hunter slunk up to Yelena, eyeing her up and down while she made a quiet noise of disgust. "Maybe...he'll let me spend some time with you." He chuckled darkly and Yelena turned her gaze to him, glaring darkly at him before headbutting him in the face which now caught Hunter's attention. She whipped the bounty hunter in the face with the chain and wrapped it around his neck throwing him to the ground. Gabul laughed openly at the misfortune of the hunter and praised...well...more like lusted compliments to Yelena in huttese. However, Hunter found himself starting at Yelena in shock and with wide eyes, he'd never seen her dressed like that before and well...thoughts were filling his head.
