i have no clue what's happening
Okay, she did take his hand, that was good, that meant everything was still good. She even giggled! Marus was still smiling happily as she pulled him along. She was so beautiful when she giggled like that. He followed along obediently, out to where Asha had her tea set up for the two guests. He was a little confused as to how she knew they were coming well enough to have the cups and all, but...well, it seemed everybody here had the Force, and the Force apparently made everybody have better senses who had it with them, so she clearly must have been able to sense that they were coming.
It made about as much sense as anything other than continuing to look at Rhia at that moment.
He gave Asha a small bow of his own—he wanted to look polite, and he'd at least figured out that bowing like that was the normal thing back on Kashyyyk, and these Je'daii people didn't seem too different in at least that respect—before getting tugged down to the ground in the process. "It's nice to be here," he replied to Asha, smiling at her.
Before her eyes narrowed. Uh-oh. When adults like her—she didn't look much older, but he could tell she was definitely the adult of the group—when adults like her narrowed their eyes at people like him and Rhia, that was almost never a good sign. But she just asked about the perfume. Marus breathed a small sigh of relief. "That? I bought it for Rhia!" he said cheerily, without a clue why Asha seemed so concerned about it. "Somebody was selling it on one of the worlds just past Kal'shebbol, I took a smell of it, and immediately knew I had to get it for Rhia here...all of it."
A small look of frustration crossed his features. Not entirely because of the realization that he'd spent three hundred credits on perfume for somebody he'd only known for about three months by the time he saw it, and he'd only been around her for half that time, but also remembering that he'd messed up buying the bottles. "Two of them were for men, though. I didn't look closely enough when I grabbed them, I guess." He turned, nodding back at the top of the miniature-temple structure that doubled as the entrance to the garden.
"We left the box in the fancy room back there, if you'd like to check...?" He still wasn't sure why she seemed so concerned about the scents. It was just perfume, right? Great perfume, but still.
