Two-Bit Con Artist
Aimless.
Irajah sighed to herself as she sat down at the bar, a few seats away from the only other patron (a dark haired, grey eyed man). She was aimless and knew it. She had no leads, no ideas of how to get any farther with the information she needed. Sure, now she had people who were looking in to things too, but what was she suposed to do? Just- wait for them to find the information for her? Her hands curled in to fists, nails digging in to her palms hard enough to hurt.
It simply. Didn't. Suit.
Lay low, he'd told her. Don't make waves. Don't attract the attention of whomever might have done this to your planet, to your people. Stay out of trouble.
This... this was not going to work for her. Oh, it was sensible. Irajah didn't want to get in to trouble at all. She just also wasn't willing to sit here and let someone else do all of the work for her. She'd agreed at first.
The problem was that she didn't know where to start. She could call him back. Tell him that she wasn't just going to sit around and wait. Or she could get off of Dantooine and start applying herself like a scalpel to a cancer. There was someone, somewhere out there who knew something. And there was someone out there who knew everything.
She absently ordered a drink, one of the nightly specials, tugging her long flowing sleeves absently down to cover all the way to the back of her hands. Hazel eyes were distant as she accepted the glass, offering a cred stick and nodding a thank you to the bartender.
As the dark haired woman mulled over her problems, others started to enter the cantina. It was early in the evening, earlier than usual for the dinner crowd. She'd come to this particular cantina for the last five nights running- unwilling to be alone in her room at night, staying until last call before retreating back to the quiet.
And someone had noticed. But they weren't there just for her.
