All the attention from those around them was starting to concern Vladimir, it would only take one concerned citizen to file a report for them all to be arrested for causing a disturbance. If that happened he would most certainly be identified and shipped back for a court martial, he didn't know the penalties for being AWOL in the Republic but he certainly didn't want to find out the hard way. He was anxious to just shrug off the encounter, fortunately enough [member="Leori Sheltrak"] did that for him. Under normal circumstances he certainly would have done much the same, he wasn't so easily offended or provoked into rash action, he liked to consider himself a fair and honorable man and thus tried to be as accepting of different points of view as possible, even if the person was being intentionally offensive as [member="Maleus"] was apparently trying to be.
Being dragged along by his arm again Vladimir pulled his arm free and simply followed along briskly, he had not left his home to get away from being dominated by women just to be dominated by women in the galaxy as a whole. He kept glancing back occasionally to ensure they were not being followed and as far as he could tell they were not. He stepped into the open room behind Leori as she peeked out to ensure they were not followed and his eye caught the dark figure again. This man was clearly playing a game of some sort, given his overall posture it seemed like a high stakes version of hide and seek was going on, there was little doubt in the Hapan's mind that this man was dangerous.
As Leori closed the door Vladimir wasn't entirely sure that she had seen their pursuer. "Seems our friend is back again, perhaps since he is so intent on following us we should invite him in? I would rather know where he is then continue to play this little game of his."
