Centares, the "last civilized stop" before the Outer Rim - where people travelling up and down the Parelemian and Mara routes - with the Daragon Trail being a quick jump over would come to rest their heads. The planet had long since advertiesed and been a waystop for travellers, and the Lasat who entered into "The Cat's Castle", one of many pubs that allow for those same travellers to meet either by happenstance or for business.

This particular establishment had been a favorite of hers' as of late, spacious enough to accommodate her size, open-minded enough to give salami scraps to her drakeling, Beviin in exchange for odd jobs. Sometimes she'd play the guitar, or the piano; sometime she'd act as a bodyguard - and there was that one time she had to solo an underground pit-fighting tournament - but with Beviin's yawn as the sun gave way to the moonless night, Kebii'kara Solus could take solace in a mercifully slow night. Truth be told, she had been looking forward to simply imbibing in the atmosphere of the pub, to reconnect with the people she wanted to protect - and how much she's failed.

She wondered if she could get a quieter table, away from conversation, so she could eat and think. She had gained prestige, gallivanting from Kalinda to Lianna, her quest for immanent spirituality had lead her to a painfully political purpose. The Lasat had found her home, similar to the Sunstar Order, in the Lilaste Order based all the way in the Aurora Station, a group of Force Users pursuing balance - true balance, and a perspective different from the Sith and the Jedi. An Order not bound, at least not directly, to the whims of one politician or another, one where she could perhaps have her questions answered... but she found that the galaxy she lived in wasn't as willing to permit her to live her ideals.

Per the tenets of the Sunstar Order, she could neither strike first, nor abide by imperialism - and yet by tacit permission she allowed for both. Ruisto, Munto Codru, Lothal... there were some worlds where she believed she did better than most, true, but she couldn't shake the notion about how the Empire of the Lost was finding new allies and enemies - the Mandalorian Enclaves, the culture she grew up under... would House Solus join the Empire in conquest of the Galaxy? Would she choose between her family and her ideals? More pertinently, it was no secret that the Lilaste Order was pro-Imperial, she volunteered to be a liason for Duality's sake! Knights served monarchs, true, and she honored the civic law, but can such things ever be reconciled...?

With a squawk from Beviin, the lumbering Lasat nearly avoided a black haired human girl, with a practiced "Pardon me." Emerald eyes widened as she recognized who exactly this young human girl was. The butcherer of the Stormtrooper Rebellion on New Alderaan, and a participant of the triumphal podrace - the daughter of the newly elected Emperor, Kanni Ugaiya Kilran .

What was she doing here?!

She had history. She had business. Centares had opened its heart to her and so she went inside it. Naturally. But business could also pretty easily get mixed in with pleasure. So that’s why, on this planet, Kanni had decided to take her backside to a cantina or, more specifically, perhaps, a pub. And there’s your history and reasons for it. For the moment, at least. Whatever that means!

“Hi!” She waved right into the bartender’s face, leaning over the counter. Yeah, not the same assassin some might think she was, right? Right. Quite. Not so quiet at the moment. But only the foolish think there is only one rigid aspect to a person’s personality.

Then again, maybe it’s just a consequence of her existence wherein she was created in a lab, grown in a tank with more than bacta in it at that, had dreams about riding banthas, and was given facets to her character that would make a madman laugh.

Please forgive her. She is a product of her environment as much as a clone of her parent. Her mother. And the DNA that swam inside her was injected into her by her father. AKA Velran Kilran.

She’s Kanni Ugaiya. Nope! She’s Kanni Ugaiya KILRAN. And she’s killed men and women and will do so again but not tonight, baby!

“Gimme a Mooka-Shooka, please!”
“We don’t have that.” Says barkeep.
“SNAP! Hummm…” Sucks her teeth.
“Then just hit me with A DEEP SEA!”

Bartender slid over the drink to her. It was blue and bubbly and it tasted delicious as she sipped it and licked her lips. No need to take out credits from the pocket in her shorts. “Keep the tab open, buddy!”

Kanni had a pep to her step as she stepped away and paced about the establishment, looking around. Woah check out the Shistavanen! Waved hi. And a Rodian that looks like a Bothan! Right. Someone almost bumped into her shoulder that moment. Offered an apology with a ‘Pardon me’.

“Don’t worry!” Kanni smiled gleefully at the woman who almost made her spill her drink. She appeared to be a Lasat. “Ya like to dance!?” Even if she didn’t, Kanni began bopping her shoulders to the music.

The question struck her, for despite not expecting anything, she was surprised. Sure this was a time for music and dance, but that may be a little later on... and she still was surprised.

Kebii'kara looked to her ever faithful living scarf, and the pale-scaled drakeling cocked her head, before giving the equivalent of a shrug. No Force-sensitivity, just natural-born eccentricity. Though if the Lasat's hunch was correct, the young girl before her had her madness intentionally inserted, something she couldn't help but pity.

After an awkward pause where the juvenile drakeling and Lasat stared at each other for an overly long beat, she answered. "Perhaps I do, perhaps I do not." The answer was, of course, the former. Formal waltzes were her forte, as well as the occasional reel, but good old fashioned clubbing was something unknown to Kebii'kara - aside from Centarran capoeira and the most basic of movesets. For a brief moment the barkeep - Jochus, a sallow skinned human male who looked far older and grouchier than he should, with a sharp chin and sunken cheekbones. "Hey, Kebii." He interjected politely, or as politely as one could. "Should I have Rimdah put you down for your usual?"
"If you please," Kebii'kara smiled.
"Shall we be expecting you to perform tonight then?"
"If Niem isn't feeling up to it," Kebii'kara reassured, nodding to the hidden Viper. "though it largely depends on the young miss... and what sort of a "dance" she's offering."

 

[Kanni Ugaiya Kilran]

Spoiler: Music IC (Recurring)

During the pause, Kanni used the opportunity to watch the woman’s scarf around her neck. KA-WOW! She didn’t voice that thought out loud except with a gentle clap with her free hand on her drinking glass. The drakeling thingy-thing was some kind of friend or something by the looks of the little guy or gal.

At the Lasat’s answer, Kanni just tilted her head. It wasn’t much of an answer. In her experience, either a person liked to dance or didn’t like to dance. But whatever! She wasn’t exactly looking for a dance-along or a singalong at the moment for that matter but was just asking whether they liked to dance! Ka-pang!

Kanni continued shifting her shoulders to the music coming from the speakers. It was drums and techno-whatever-yo but might not be what she finally ends up dancing to.

“What sorta dance?” Kanni bobbed her head side to side as she thought about this very enticing question. “Huh-huhhhhh well I like the cha-cha and the rumba and the samba!” She tried her best to effect them given her limited position under the circumstances. “Tango and mambo!” Clapped her glass. “The boogie-woogie and I think your lizard thing is actually a cutie-wootie!”

At the end of her minimalist demonstration, such as it was, Kanni offered two fingers to her future dancing partner as a peace sign. “But dancing to electronica or reggaeton or rock ‘n’ roll is also quite awesoooome am I right!?” Peaceful eyes and smile wide!

As the black haired girl elaborated on the dances she was proficient in, the rosy-irised drakeling once more looked to her Big Sister.

She's weird Beviin spoke in the telepathic bond that the two had shared and tempered for the better part of a decade. She is her father's daughter. Kebii'kara answered in kind, noting how she carried herself - more a blade in the dark than a girl, her poise, while perfected for battle, did not have the experience of revelry or dance other than something one-sided. No doubt the young firecracker daughter of the Mad Mechanist Moff of New Alderaan was flash-trained to become a soldier.

It was with some irony that the Lasat noted the parallels between the two: Kebii'kara was a woman trying to be a weapon, and here was a human weapon trying to be a woman, even if the newcomer did not consciously know it.

With the final pose of the woman, the Lasat gave a mild applause of her own. "It seems you are quite the dancer yourself, miss." Kebii'kara remarked, a genuine and gentle smile on her lips. "Perhaps I may join you, for all those options and more are a part of this establishment's jukebox-"

"She pay for it if she plays for it." The human bartender gruffly reminded the duo. "And unlike me, the jukebox doesn't take "tabs"."
"If she wishes for music, and if it be not too offensive to most here." the Lasat cooly and coyly retorted. "I'll pay for it."
The Barkeep gave Kebii'kara a look that she knew well - the look inquiring if she wanted to go down this path. She did, for being friendly to the daughter of the Emperor would be needed, if not for herself and the selfish advancement of her career and path, then for the young woman that she found to be her companion.

 

[Kanni Ugaiya Kilran]

Kanni positively beamed at the compliment. ‘Seems’ meant everything when it came to this woman’s statement that Kanni just might be quite the dancer indeed! Ohhhhh yippeeeeeee! That made her dance again! Bit of a bop and a bob to the brilliantly bouncy beats! Bit of a bubbly personality! If also a killing machine whose weapon was a shuriken.

“Oh thank you THANK YOU!” Kanni sipped her drink and licked the delicious liquid from her lips which was as blue as can be. Even better was her new best friend’s offer to pay for the both of them to dance! So Kanni could only give another clap with hand to glass at that!

“Okay okay okay I think the Kanni is really feelin’ it baby! Let’s take a looksy!”

Free hand grabs the Lasat’s hand and hopefully her pet gecko wasn’t the type to bite. The two who will soon prove to be a dynamic dancing duo move on to the jukebox! “Hmmmm…” She begins sampling whatever was on offer.

“Pop!?
Rock!?
Electronica!?
Whaddya want!?”

Well, it certainly didn't take much to get her excited, eh? Kebii happily allowed herself to be dragged along, with the drakeling taking the hint and gently gliding down onto the floor, scurrying in a way that only patrons who were either unobservant or tolerated the scaly companion of the Lasat.

Kebii'kara couldn't help but smile in kind, now knowing that her energy wasn't simply a coping mechanism, but something genuinely a part of Kanni. If nothing else, she got confirmation that she was dealing with the daughter of the current Emperor, Whom All Porgs Praise. This was completely unlike anything she had envisioned interacting with a Moff, or a Moff-spawn, would be! There was no rigid formality, no fancy gowns, no increasing dread of peering into the complex and multilayered web of political intrigue.

As far as the galaxy was concerned, there were two girls about to cut up the dance floor like nobody's business! ...Kebii would be happy with that.


Now, to set the music! Let's start things off with a-nope nope nope! Pop music was right out with a fervent shake of the Lasat's head, and Beviin made mimic a cross between a "boo" and a retch. The next one was a rock and roll, and Kebii permitted the song to play for a bit. She actually was planning on playing this song later on, if the patrons permitted her, so she skipped it. The last would be perfect. Simplistic, unfettered, a nice and energetic way to kick off the night.

"I'm Kebii by the way." The Lasat introduced herself as she slid to take her place on the dance floor, a coy grin denoting that she too was a veteran dancer - perhaps with a few more years on than the Princess Imperial. "Pleased to make your acquaintance."

And so, in a way unorthodox to the atmosphere of the pub, but an energy all their own, the two began to dance.

Spoiler: Music IC

So, no rock and no pop and no soda pop, nope. On that note, Kanni promptly finished her drink, sipping then guzzling her yummy-wummy Deep Sea as blue as a blueberry. With her new best buddy in the room ready to move and groove to the tune of an electronic song, well, it was time to give this dance floor hell!

“No way!” The daughter of Velran Kilran exclaimed. “I’m Kanni!” She held up her right hand for a high five. Her left hand's fingers began to snap to the beats as she moved hips to the music and danced. “Kanni! Kebii! Maybe it’s fate, baby!” Indeed! Maybe the universe had discovered that these two ought to be linked as the best garsh darn dancing partners to ever grace the stage!

“What’s your iguana’s name!?” Audience's eyes already on her and her as they dance and tap and clap onward. They were the only two dancing at the moment. “Oh it’s a really groovy lizard, sister!”

Irregardless of what was to happen for the rest of the night, the two women would go down as the best pair of dancers that the Cat's Castle had seen so far within her halls. A sway of the hip, a tap of the feet, and a mirror of the clap, the smiling Lasat was very much a complimentary figure to Kanni's, despite the two's clear differences.

Even the little drakeling joined in the revelry, but squawked disapprovingly at being referred to as an "iguana". Kebii shushed the lizard, giving her a look, as the pale-scaled drakeling and her seemed to move in a synchrosity that belied their connection. Up onto the shoulders of the Lasat the drakeling sprung, moving in time with the music. "This is a drakeling." Kebii corrected in a gentle, matronly manner. "Her name is Beviin, say "hi" Beviin."

The Drakeling, now christened Beviin, yapped and snapepd some semblance of a greeting, twisting her head to regard the young human, somehow exuding both a protective presence, and yet still shimmying to the beat of the song. "Do forgive her, she's sometimes wary around people."

Only when they're weird! Beviin spoke to the mind of the Lasat, the subtle way the rosy irises regarded Kebii's emerald ones. Isn't she supposed to be dangerous? As in, "may people in high places not recognize you" dangerous? The subtle growl in the throat of the drakeling seemed to be disguised as a conversation between pet and owner, though the exchange was more akin between an elder sister and a younger one. "Oh come now Bevii, she's off the clock if she's dangerous."

Tap. Dance. Not a tap dance! Not a tango! But dance and tap. Look at them feet go! Absolute pros! Woah! Look at this pair of women as they dance like this isn’t an establishment they’re in, a pub or a club, but the galactic equivalent of a stereo! Orrrrrr…somethin’! Give Kanni a sheet of paper and a neat pen and she’s gawn writecha italics all evenin’! Whatever that meant.

That’s the sweet thing about dancing, really. Didn’t have to keep thinking about anything but, in the event that ya did, it didn’t have to make sense. So tap those feet! Clap those hands! Swing them hips! Fingers click! Get into it! Bit of a jig! She's BRILLIANT! Not Kanni but Kebii! Awh heck yeah! Dancing is a great way to vent!

“A DRAKELING!?” Fascinating! "Ohhh you're a sweet thing!" And it was even dancing! “Hiiiiii Beviiiiiiiin!” Peaceful eyes and attempt at high five. Hope it don’t bite! Never mind. Nod the head. Bop the shoulders. These chicks are trouble and Bob’s your uncle! Wait! No he isn’t! SILLY MEEEEEEEE

“You’re absolutely ADORABUBBLE!” And Kanni is indeed off the clocky-wocky! W00t Woooooot! “I’m gonna pick ya up drakey bud and we’re gonna dance and it’s gonna be fuuuuun yuppy-wuppy yum-hummm!”

Well, for better or worse, Kanni is way too excited (and admittedly, already a wee bit inebriated from her blue Deep Sea) so she attempts to pick the geck’uwana’wotzitwhozit up but, worse to worse, maybe they can all three just dance in a circle somehow like a merry-go-round! "YIPPEEEEEEEE"

OhMandashe'sgotmyhaaaaand- Was the mental accentuation to the mewling dragon, as her wing was rudely grasped by Kanni. In kind, Kebii grabbed onto the appendage of Beviin, and the lazing circle swung about the dance-floor. Kebii'kara smiled at the young human, the same way she pitied her, and while they were to tumble head over heels, the Lasat deftly navigated the trio to a nearby table. It wasn't a clean landing by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a landing that didn't involve them cracking their skulls open on the floor.

Unfortunately, Beviin landed squarely on the head and shoulders of Kanni, and would be brought into the black-haired woman's embrace. Sqwaking in protest, the drakeling called for her big sister to return, and the Lasat promptly did.

"Let's not spin out." Kebii began, reclaiming Beviin and allowing the drakeling to scarper back to the safety of the Lasat's shoulders. Kebii in kind, gave the drakeling a reassuring nuzzle before addressing Kanni. "One step at a time. Are you well, Kanni?"

 

[Kanni Ugaiya Kilran]

Spoiler: Music IC

"WAAAAHHH-BA-GABA-BABA-GAAAAAAHHHH!!" Kanni frantically clapped at but didn't snatch at Beviin after it landed on her head. It was as happy an experience as it was a bit scary! Mhm-Mhm!
Just as well at that the three of them ended up at a table to take a bit of a break because somebody suddenly went up to the jukebox and changed the song! But this new tune wasn't something that Kanni could so easily groove to at this moment but she could certainly sit to it! Yeahhhh!

One step at a time all right! One step to the left. Then one step to the right. All right. Not right now. They sit down and, well, maybe they'll just be content to talk for a spell! Bet Mr. Beviin's gotta lot to talk about anyhow! "I'm hippy-spippy with a cherry pippy on top of it, baby!" Kanni clicked her fingers but like before when she was dancing on the floor.

"Hey Mr. Server Buddy!" She waved over a waiter. "Free drinks on the house!"

"Sorry," he blinked. "Drinks aren't free in this establishment."

"HAHAAAAA!" Kanni winked. "Juuuust kiddiiiiing! Three drinks for me and my buddies! Round's on me! I'll take another Blue Sea please! WEEHEEEEE!"

Kebii couldn't help but chuckle at the lass, at least she was a "happy drunk" - lightweightedness aside. She almost could fool herself into believing that the black haired woman was just a girl stagging (or would it be "doe-ing?") on the town, she'd have to ask where her escort went. Either way, she wouldn't turn down the generosity.

"We can always go squarely." the Lasat offered. "Split the bill evenly." The growls and yips from the drakeling informed her that She needs to pay for spinning me around! Ooh! Ooh! Food!

"Then I'll... take your orders then?" the server meekly interjected, still intimidated by the gentle giantess. "J-just drinks, or...? Oh!" he would flip through the notes, squinting a bit at the indecipherable handwriting. "Says here you have... well two "usuals"." the server began, looking at the eager drakeling that lingered on the Lasat's shoulders. "Kombucha with the four-cheese aubergine and chicken schnitzel for you and your...friend?" the young human male began to explain. "Or... would it be the Rog & Rog, liquid and plated?" The pale-scaled drakeling looked to Kebii with rosy, puppy-dog eyes.

"Young lady, we shouldn't be too greedy with the hospitality!" the Lasat scolded the drakeling, before turning to Kanni. "What about you? How hungry do you feel?"

 

[Kanni Ugaiya Kilran]

Spoiler: Music IC

Song change on the jukebox. This business just tended to happen any instant.

Kebii generously offered to split the bill evenly. It was a gesture that was promptly responded with a gentle wagging of the finger and a smile that never faded away. As the Lasat went about responding to the server over orders, Kanni just casually bopped her head to the music. It was rhythmic but not as quick as that dance.

She was relaxed. A bit inebriated. Yet this was just Kanni’s personality in reality. Liquor just brought more of it out in her but not the worst of her at least. Most definitely! Like a crazy writer bringing out italics? No. Won’t go there. That’s madness.
She snapped her fingers, not to the beat, not at the waiter, but at having remembered that she was hungry as her stomach made a bit of a fuzzy-wuzzy like a monkey-lizard’s screech more than the drakeling’s cutesy-w00tsy growl.

“Oh WOW yummy!” Kombucha with four-cheese aubergine and chicken schnitzit shiznit wotzitwhozit sounded absolutely delicious! YUMhum. But what did Kanni want to eat instead of those dishes? Hummm…the drakeling? Kidding. Pinching chin between finger and thumb. She enunciates. Speech collaborates with the beats.

“I’ll take a plate of chic-keeeeeeeen tennnnn-diiiiiiieeeees pleeeeeeaaaaaase! With onnnn-ionnnnnnnn ring-a-ding-dinnnnggggggggs! Lotsa ket-chup and mus-tard but hold the pic-kels cuz I kill for a nic-kel when it comes to peo-ple who dun listennnn! Heh.”

“...”

“JUST KIDDING.”

Server goes away to fetch their orders. Kanni seizes Kebii by the shoulder and dances in their seat with her.

With the shaking of the shoulders, Kebii handled the rambunctious lass with a surprising grace. "...Two chicken schnitzels." the Lasat explained, trying to gently pry her off. "Kanni, down girl! Goodness..." Now I have two of you! the Lasat smirked at Beviin, who rolled her eyes. The waiter nervously looked to Kebii as she politely whispered. "The first usual, and it can be chicken schnitzel if you do not have any... "tendies"." she nodded at the young waiter. "Maybe something to... keep her sober."

Once the waiter was permitted to scurry back to the kitchen, the Lasat finally turned once more to her human compatriot. Steadying her up, she tried her best to not be as conspicuous in propping up the swaying lass - no reason to earn the ire of the newly minted Emperor just yet. "So Kanni, Kanni... tell me what you do for work?" a slight pun, no doubt super effective against inebriated partygoers, would be enough for her to focus on the Mandalorian, rather than possibly harass another of the pub's patrons. "Wait wait, let me guess... some form of gymnast, perhaps?"

Kanni kinda happily if a bit obliviously allowed her hand to be pried off and got down like a girl who could get down on the dancefloor as she had already proven. Oh, no problem, so now Kanni can just get jiggy with it all by herself and was glad about it as she erupted into a jig.

Then came a question from her dancing partner slash new best friend. Kanni. Kebii. There it is again! That universe of coincidence with a purpose to slap two persons together who definitely didn’t already know each other! Bet!

“Murders and executions!” Kanni answered her.

“Mergers and acquisitions?” Butted in another patron.

It was a Mandalorian who waltzed up to their table in a purple outfit and a purple helmet.
“Heyo! I am Condo of Clan Hippo and ope sorry gotta go!”

Kanni waved them away and watched as that Mandalorian man began to breakdance on the dance floor. OoWoO he sure knows how to get jiggy widdit!
“Also I work in an animal shelter in my spare time. Kittens and baby snakes are among my favorite!” Gives Kebii the peace sign. “Mmmmmmmmhmmm! What about you? What do YOU do?”

She nodded at the purple-clad Mandalorian: game recognizes game after all. Condo and she had cut up the dance floor, though for now, Centerran capoeira reigned supreme. Beviin cocked her head to her Lasat mistress, concerned about how strange their new company is, the Lasat smiled. "I am a traveller." she explains. "Bodyguard here, part time musician there... and a fellow lover of animals."

House Solus' verd'goten specifically was about finding one's animal companion and making friends - which was how Kebii and Beviin met. While much of her companions at present were more droids over fauna, she nevertheless endeavored to reconnect with nature whenever possible. If Condo kept his mouth shut, and didn't brag further, her own backstory may be kept hidden. Needless to say, her relationship with her native Clan and her employer were... complicated.

"Though between the... grisly work, and your animal handling, which do you enjoy more?"

 

[Kanni Ugaiya Kilran]

Kanni listened to Kebii and was genuinely fascinated by her answer. “Fascinating! Travelers travel is what they say!” No sarcasm drips from her lips. A genuine observation. “Bodyguards guard and musicians play— HEYYYY!?” She gasped as Kebii came back that she was a fellow animal lover like her!

Wow so she guards musicians and travels with animals and maybe she has the body of an elephant in her closet or sommat. Never try to comprehend the Kanni’s thinking pattern, someone once said. She has a very unique brain in that sweet skull and is both bold and brilliant according to my design! Said someone was Velran Kilran who had to kill someone else for taking offense to his daughter’s comment. At least Father explained it to the scientist first so whatever!

“Well firstly I like grisly bears as much as the next person! Father let me have a pet bear once but I had to keep it in the lab! Wait no I walked it in the yard but an acklay ate it or was it a rancor whatever I can’t remember but my work is fun I tell ya what! I like my free time though! One time I did both! I was given a mission to retrieve a python with a lethal toxin in its bottom but the thief wouldn’t gimme it so I opened his throat with my shuriken and played with the snake for a bit! YAY!” Innocent wink.

Their server returned the next moment. “Your drinks, ladies and…alligator?...your food is on its way. Minor delay. I apologize.”

Kanni promptly sipped her drink. Tasted sweet. It was green. Wasn’t Blue Sea. But it was yummy! “ALL RIIIIIIIIGHT!”

With a brief pause to thank the Manda Above for the food given to her, and to beseech the Powers to grant her strength to endure the... mercurial young lass, the Lasat dug into the lasagne. She had tried to graze the mind of the black-haired lass, but disguised her astonishment behind the bubbly embrace of a virgin drink. "Mm-hmm!" she nodded, uncertain what to say in response to the fact that she utilized a shuriken to slit the throat of a serpent - Clone Mania or otherwise, Kanni wasn't a woman to be trifled with.

Despite Beviin growling at the waiter who mistook her to be an "alligator", Kebii thanked the waiter and dismissed him quickly. "It appears you too are a traveller, or you reside in a zoo."

Kanni couldn't actually help it! Totally still into it despite her drink being less than alcoholic! And maybe Kanni isn't really an alcoholic, just likes to vibe widdit, but all she can do at this moment is...EAT HER CHICKEN. Sometimes chicken tasted like snake. And why can't an animal lover eat animals too. HEY!?!?!?!???

"OoWoO this chee-kan tastes A-MA-ZINGGGGGGG!" She began bopping her shoulders to the new music beats. "Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm!" Very catchy indeed she thinks! She takes a piece of her chicken tendies and offers it to the drakeling thingy. "Takey takey! Tasty tasty! Eaty eaty!"

Whatever the case, Kanni licked her lips, dipped her own tendie into honey mustard and mayonnaise and ketchup, bit it, licked her lips. "Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm!" And chewed on her companion's question.

"Mmmm I TRIED to live in the zoo but Father said I'm not allowed! So I just travel around visiting cows and horsies and play with Krayt dragons on occasion! After all a girl needs a life outside of bein' an assassin amirite!? AAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Queue Kanni suddenly tugging on Kebii's shoulder again and rocking her along to the beats!
