Apparently the pictures used for some chapters have mysteriously disappeared so I will be putting them back today. Also, spring break is over so the requests are closed but I am open to one request.
Thanks for 400 reads!!
I approached the band with my lightsabers swinging at my waist and my braided black hair banging against my neck like the cloak swaying at my feet. My grey eyes sharpened and made contact with the lead singer, a very colored and expensively clad female Togruta. She winked at me mid verse to let me know she had noticed me approaching standing off to the side with a purpose in my stride and stance. I didn't look back to Canderous but I sensed he was seated back at the table and probably took note of T3 still by my seat, knowing I haven't left him. I didn't press for anything else and withdrew to myself and immediate surroundings as people piled close to the stage, livening the cantina.
The singer signaled a wave with two fingers held up to her band members and as the song faded. Her fellow members nodded slightly for confirmation but also exhaled an irritated sigh and she inclined her head to a few clapping patrons before ducking toward me and letting the band go solo with the female backup singers, a Chiss and a Twi'lek. The band picked up their momentum but this was a soft tune with high pitched hums from the backups.
As the Togruta crouched on the stage to see me face to face, her eyes widened at the lightsabers peering out of my cloak on my waist but the amber eyes grew more observant as they travelled painfully slowly back up to my face, taking her time, calculating.
Her middle finger on her right hand was wrapped in a plain silver band which was quite a contrast to the forefinger on her left hand that sported a hefty blue jewel that was unknown to me. And not many stones went unknown to me. Her clothing covered her but revealed her toned stomach and long, red toned legs and arms. The headdress adorned with more blue jewels complimented her naturally elaborately colored and patterned lekku and montrals.
White patches circled her eyes and red skin tried to take over her face but her lips had a distinctive crescent of a muddy brown that threatened to disappear in her skin color but adamantly refused. It complimented her lip shape and curved dimples. The pattern of her lekku and montrals was sharply striped a pure white against a light brown that looked almost like the amber of her eyes but a shade darker.
Now that she was closer, I could tell she was older than the Twi'leks and possibly older than her backup singers.
My eyes narrowed on hers. Her crouch is relaxed, but she's keeping unnaturally still with her eyes glued on me.
The togruta's voice was lightly accented with a foreign note that seemed to be a run off from being a full blooded Coruscanti. "You look like you need a fix, Master Jedi." Her voice was able to be low in volume to be heard, unlike my own during their first song.
I offered her a smile. "Please, don't call me a Jedi. I'm pretty sure you can tell I'm far from it." Now my own voice carried without much of a block from the music. I felt her spark of curiosity through the Force when I stretched my invisible muscle. But there was something else there, a hunger that radiated with heat and snapped wildly inside her. For a moment, I considered going back to Canderous. I shrugged myself and removed the doubt from my system.
She smiled wider. Humor was in her eyes. Intelligence was sparkling in its depths. However, there was a much wiser air when I caught the wrinkles struggling to appear beside her eyes. "Judging by how you left your partner and how he reacted, plus the fact he's shoving the Twi'lek off him, there's something unsaid between you two and neither of you will say it and you refuse to, after all you are a Jedi. Therefore, you want a push, most likely something that you've done before. Something that is comfortable."
