THE cantina was loud as many bounty hunters were either celebrating or looking for a crew for their next job, the chatter didn't die down as a small cloaked figure entered. Her footsteps were quiet and elegant as she strolled towards the booth, where the guild leader was sitting and sipping some alcohol. She sat down in front of the man and threw her five tracking fobs on the table, wordlessly.

"Ah! You're already done?" the leader asked, with a smile as she only nodded. He sighed and shook his head "I'm never going to get used to your silence... even Mando speaks more than you"

The woman stared at the man, before replying "There is no point in mindless chatter. I just need my money and the next target" her voice was smooth, yet mechanic because of the mask that covered her face, showing only her light golden hair that was in a messy and loose braid.

Greef shook his head one more time, before paying the woman. She glared at the currency behind her mask and said in a harsh tone "I'm not taking Imperial money"

"That's the only currency I have. Well I can do Calamari Flar, but I'll give you only about a half because I still need to pay the others" he said, while giving her light blue coins.

After a moment of silence, she took the coins and got up saying "Tell me when you get a job worth my time" with that she walked towards the bar, where she started counting her money. Not paying attention to the large, armoured man who walked inside the crowded cantina.

Half way through her counting, she was interrupted by a male voice talking on her right.

"Hey---"

Quickly she raised her hand saying "Kriff off"

The man chuckled and said "A bit harsh aren't you. Come on beautiful" still she didn't answer, so the man instead said "Let's take off that mask of yours hm?" he then tried to touch her mask.

She didn't answer once again, instead she kicked his knee and continued on counting as if nothing happened.

This made the man groan in pain, with that he tried to pull out his rifle that was resting on his back, while he raised his other hand towards the woman.
