Beskar, Cloaks, and Beer (Damiri)

[Doctor Azure]

Thryk was on Nar Shaddaa again. In a bar, again. Drinking acidic liquids with lots of bubbles, again. He couldn't tell whether he'd come to this planet bounty hunting, job hunting, or girl hunting. Whatever the reason, he was hunting as he drank. A rather pretty Togruta sat down next to him, saw his furry face, and then made a disgusted look and walked off. He just sighed, and poured himself another drink.

For some reason, Thryk had the feeling that he was going to be attacked. He spun on the barstool, allowing the beskar plating on his arm to absorb the energy blast that streaked into it. He saw his assailant, an ugly-looking Weequay, and his rockets fired, propelling him towards the horned man.

Of course, Thryk didn't expect the attack to send them both through the window, and right over the head of a hooded woman, into a durasteel rail that stopped him, but sent the Weequay sailing down into the speeder-choked abyss that was under the Promenade.

Looking up at the hooded woman, and hitting the release to get rid of the ruined jetpack, he coughed slightly, blood leaking from his mouth where he'd bit the insides. He chuckled slightly, and said, "I'm sorry you had to see that, ma'am. And I bet the sight of a giant furball speaking Basic doesn't help calm you down at all."

Damiri didn't like being here but she didn't have much choice. Her travels had found her here, on Nar Shadda, one of the more dangerous places to be. She was lucky to have scrambled what food and money she could by 'borrowing' it where she could on this planet. She intended to take a shuttle off-world as soon as possible but was still dealing with the need for food. And this place was the closet she could find since it was close to the shuttle-port as well. She kept quiet and to herself when she entered and only ordered a soda and a small plate of food. Enough to get by for now.

As she ate she noticed those who were about to attack the Wookiee. While her instincts told her not to become involved her basic needs for venting out her aggression were starting to kick in. She reached down to grab her saber from her robes before the wookiee managed to handle himself well enough. She ducked her head as one of the men he threw went flying over her and landed at the rail.

She turned just as he approached, startling her a bit as he spoke basic, before she calmed and took her hand away from her hidden saber while saying "It's....fine. Really."

Thryk smiled at the woman, and then turned as he heard the sound of crunching glass. Four more Weequay, and a huge Nikto stood before him and the robed woman. He grinned even wider at his new foes, a fierce sort of baring of his sharp canine teeth. Glancing back down at the woman, he noticed the involuntary twitch towards and away from the hem of her robe. He growled under his breath, "Whatever you've got under that lovely robe of yours, I suggest you use it," he brought out his ryyk blades from their hidden sheaths, "Because a guy with two knives and a metal suit can only take out so many people."

He reversed his grip on the two swords, and felt them lock into the grooves on his suit made expressly for that purpose. He continued, "Even if that guy's as good-looking as me."

Looking back to the others who'd approached Damiri gave an hesitant look. She looked back to the wookiee, wondering what it was they had against him, before seeing them draw their weapons. More out of instinct she stood, her hand creeping back under her robes, while she looked among the thugs and took a step back.

"I don't know what this is about, but I've nothing to do with this." she said, both to the thugs and to the wookiee. "There's no need for this violence right now."

Looking down at the robed woman, Thryk almost laughed. As it was, he simply replied, "It's because I'm a Mandalorian. The gangs here don't like the Mando'ade on the ground, even in the upper levels." He grinned at each scaly thug in turn, and hefted his arms, with the knives attached, into a boxing position.

He continued, "So, these wonderful gentlemen probably saw my ship in the spaceport, or some such, and decided to come and try their hand at a promotion or two. Poor fools," he finished dispassionately. Thryk's eyes jumped between each man, calculating how they would strike.

Lowering his hands, with the knives still locked, Thryk pulled his slugthrower and heavy blaster from their holsters. Then he grinned again, barking out his laugh, "I don't believe I'm supposed to enjoy self defense this much. Oh well."

Looking up oddly at the wookiee Damiri found it hard to believe he was also a Mandalorian on top of being able to speak basic. It made a little more sense to her at this point as to why he was under attack by these men, but that didn't change the fact that this was the wrong situation for her to be in. Her Force sense could feel the anxious thoughts of all those men around her. They were ready for a fight and there seemed little way to calm them down and avoid needless violence. Her training would be able to protect her but she still worried about actually spilling blood, especially after what had happened to her before.

Quickly the Dathmorian girl stood in front of the wookiee, revealing her lightsaber and igniting it before saying "See? This is now officially Jedi business. You want to start something, then just know what's at stake now!"

Thryk began to laugh again, easily reaching over and past the Jedi woman's head to cock and aim his blaster. With two shots, two of the Weequay fell down, holding their legs. As he kept laughing, he managed to get a sentence out, "The lady doesn't want violence. You idiots are so lucky."

With three more shots, the other two Weequay fell, but the Nikto only sustained a nasty burn on his arm. Grinning with adrenaline, Thryk stepped around, and in front of the lady with the lightsaber, his blasters forgotten as the scaly man raised his fists. He spoke over his shoulder to the Jedi woman, "This is seriously not your problem, I'm sorry to say. He'd kill me if he could reach me."
