Private It's only borrowing, I swear

[Aola Shala]

Roaring through hyperspace, The Nessle, had one additional crew onboard time this. A woman by the name of Raya Krayt and a Mandalorian even. It was pretty advantageous, knowing a Mandalorian to be honest and Aola liked Raya and got along pretty well, all thing considered.

Uktauss or as Aola call him, Tauss, seem to tolerate Aola's other friend, though he ignored the Mandalorian most of the time, only talking with Aola. A voice could be heard throughout the ship, "oh come on Tauss, don't be mad at Raya, it's just a game!" Called Aola from the locked door in the ship that led into Tauss's private chamber. Some loud grunts and squeals were returned to Aola from Tauss, "Outch, that's not very nice, she's a friend!" Said Aola, surprised by the curse words her friend used to describe Raya.

Returning to the crew quarters and Raya, "yea, should have seen that coming" said Aola with a sheepish smile, planting her butt in the sofa as she pulled her Lekku's to her front. "He's a terrible loser" admitted Aola and looked towards the door that led into the small corridor, where Tauss's room was. Half slide into the sofa, she half laid down with her feet on the corner of a table, playing with one of her head-tails.

It was still 30 minutes or so before they would arrive at the route of their target.

Raya Krayt

Raya snickered to herself as she heard the exchange between the two friends. She was perceptive enough to notice Tauss' less than friendly demeanour towards her but she didn't care, she didn't make a special effort to make friends. The ones she did make formed naturally, such as with Aola, her reason for being there, which had been easy due to their similarities in personalities, though apparently not similar enough as Tauss didn't seem to take as much of a liking to Raya as he did to Aola.

"You don't say." She chuckled and shook her head. Her helmet was beside her on the sofa as she only really wore it in public and her feet were up on the table as she casually loaded darts into her vambrace. "You'd get a lot more respect being a gracious loser than just by winning." She said, raising her voice for Tauss to hear her, though she was only teasing - She didn't have anything against him as shown by the smile on her face.

"Travelling is so boring." The Mandalorian complained with a sigh as she dragged her feet off of the table and placed them back on the floor. Without a fix of adrenaline, the world seemed sluggish and monotonous, leaving her itching to get involved in some shenanigans. She groaned and slid onto her back, bringing her feet up onto the sofa. "What do you do to pass the time around here other than beat Uktauss in every game imaginable?" She asked.

Aola Shala

With her lekku in her hand, Aola looked to Raya, when her friend complained. Cross-eyed and balloon cheeks, Aola placed an index on each cheek and started to blow raspberry at Raya, to see if she could get the Mandalorian to laugh or smile.

But then she instantly thought of something they could do while waiting! Shooting up from her spot on her sofa, she rushed over to a wall, "I know exactly what we should do!" cheered Aola excited and kneeled down to have the object in eye level. Suddenly Raya would hear music quickly building up, which caused the Twi'lek to first jump a bit on the spot, before turning around. Just as she turned around, the music's beat took off, blasting with high energy and upbeat singing filled the entire ship as if they were in a high-end club on Coruscant. With arms raised above her head, Aola just started to jump around the ship to the beat of the music like her life depended on it.

With a jump, she landed right in front of Raya and grabbed her hand and started to pull her up, "dance with me Raya!" grinned Aola, feeling like being silly and goofy just for the fun of it. Whether Raya wanted to dance or not, Aola wouldn't give up and would grab the woman's other hand as she would sing along, matching the song's singing perfectly.

Raya Krayt

Raya's gaze was on Aola as she waited for a response. However, she was met with her friend blowing a raspberry instead, prompting a smile from the Mandalorian. It was silly but she couldn't help it and Raya wasn't one for being serious which was what had helped her get along with Aola so well, though the similarities between them apparently weren't enough for Uktauss to like her.

The Mandalorian pushed herself into a sitting position after her friend shot up excitedly, curious to see what idea she had decided on. She watched as the Twi'lek activated something that played music and raised an eyebrow in response. She laughed as Aola began to dance but didn't even consider joining her until the Twi'lek appeared in front of her, urging her to join in. "No, no." She replied, trying to pull away from Aola, though her friend was persistent. The only time Raya had danced was after one too many drinks in a bar when she had challenged a dancer - The memory was cringe-worthy.

She doubted Aola was strong enough to pull her from the sofa so she could very well have resisted but it didn't take long for Raya to give in. Aola clearly didn't care what Raya thought of her so Raya thought she ought to feel the same. "Fine, fine." She relented as she got to her feet, keeping hold of Aola's hand to invite her to twirl as they moved to the music. Not very accustomed with any popular music, Raya didn't know the words to sing-along but it didn't stop her from dancing with her friend, smiling as she did.

Aola Shala

Aola beamed cheerfully, seeing as Raya finally realized that she had no choice and joined. With a burst of light laughter, she let Raya spin her around, seeing the room spin, while her lekkus lifted as she rotated. It was amazing to just let loose and seeing Raya at least giving in to dancing and not thinking of what Aola would think of her, made the Twi'lek grin.

As they were dancing, Aola guided them over to the table by the sofa, which Aola jumped upon and started singing along the song, matching in speed and lyrics to the song. Aola danced no particularly dance known, it was completely random as she just went with the flow, letting the music's flow take her wherever she was going. For how long exactly they had danced was unknown, but the voice of her little droid BD-10's beeping could be heard over the comm in the ship.

They would come out of hyperspace within a couple of minutes. With the song nearing the end with the big boom in the song, Aola ended their little dance with jumping into the Mandalorian's arms and would place her arms around Raya's neck and legs around her friend's waist. Just as Aola jumped into her friend's arms, threw her arms into the air, repeating the last words of the song.

"That. Was. So. Much. FUN!" Cheered Aola with the biggest adorably toothy grin on her face. "We gotta do that another time!" Said Aola as she got down again. With a light punch, not even with enough strength to hurt a weak Mandalorian, the Twi'lek girl cheerfully skipped her steps, still humming the song while entering the cockpit.

Upon entering the cockpit and sitting behind the piloting controls, the ship exited hyperspace, showing in the distance along and massive cargo hauler flying, still unknowing to what just exited hyperspace. If Raya followed Aola, she would get the first row of seeing Aola's flying skills in action. Faster and faster Aola took her ship, to the point that it looked that they would either crash into the other ship or miss it. Luckily for them, Aola had honed her flying skills pretty substantially over the cause of her freedom.

In a very sharp turn and a sudden break in motion, the ship had now landed on the other ship, without tipping off the sensors. "Alright, now the fun can begin! B-10, keep the ship ongoing but turn down the heat signature. Wait for when we return" Said Aola as she got up from her seat and exited the cockpit, heading not for the ramp, but all the way to the back of the ship. Arming herself on the way with her trusty blaster and Tauss finally joining them, after his sulking from losing, they stood by a small round blast door in the floor.

It was round and just large enough for Tauss to get through along with his large vibroblade axe. Pressing a button, the outside of the blast door, extended a tube, until it hit the roof of the other spaceship. Pressing another button and the blast door, slit open, revelling another door Aola opened as well before they could start to descend down through the tub.

It didn't take long for Aola to get the other ship's blast door open in the hull, giving them access without tipping off any alarms. As Aola continued down the other ship's ladder, she took a step back, to let Raya and Tauss come down as well. With blaster drawn, she looked around and recognized the hall from the plan she had acquired before they jumped to hyperspace.

"This way," said Aola with a low voice and started to lead Tauss and Raya down one of the four hallways from the T-junctions of halls they stood in.
