You've been hit by... you've been struck by...
Kinley Pryse once broke out of an Imperial prison transport without standing up
Cantonica - Canto Bight - The Emerald Apartment Villa
The apartment door swung open and there stood Kinley Pryse, a bold frown on her face and a cowboy hat positioned perfectly on her head. She entered the room with her associate right beside her. Inside there were a few young males, who all looked a bit surprised to see Kinley and her associate enter.
"Hey kids. How you boys doin?"
The door shut behind them and one of the males, a small skinny Weequay, started to get up off the sofa he'd been lounging on.
"Hey keep chillin." She reached her hand out, guiding his foot back up onto the sofa with a cocky smile on her face. He looked at her nervously but resumed his restful position.
"You know who we are?" She turned to ask the human male who was sitting at a makeshift table. Everyone in the room avoided her eye but that didn't seem to bother her. She continued to speak politely, a smile on her face. "We're associates of your business partner Flint Chapin. You do remember your business partner don't you?" Silence met that sentence, though the males shared a few quick terrified glances her way.
"Now let me take a wild guess." She pursed her lips, thinking hard apparently, her eyes roaming from the kid on the couch to the one sitting at the table. Finally she turned her head to the one at the table. "You're Benton right?"
The human male nodded, still not meeting her eye.
"I thought so." She walked closer to the table, so that she was directly in front of the young man. "You remember your business partner Flint Chapin don't you Benton?"
"Yea.. I ... I remember." He glanced around uncomfortable as Kinely's partner started to wander into the small kitchen.
"Good. Looks like we caught you boys at breakfast. Sorry about that. What are you having?"
"Nerfbugers."
"Nerfbugers! The cornerstone of any healthy breakfast! What kind of nerfburger?"
"A..Ah cheeseburgers."
"No no no. Where did you get them? Dexes, Ludos...?"
"Oh, big Hutt Burger."
"Big Hutt Burger! That's the new joint over by sunrise. I hear they got some tasty burgers. Now I aint ever hand one myself. How are they?"
"They are good." Benton swallowed hard, clearly nervous and uncertain what the point of this conversation was.
"You mind if I try one of yours? This is yours here right?" Benton nodded and Kinley picked the food up, taking a large bite and chewing, her eyes locked onto the young mans. "Mmm. Now that is a tasty burger!" She continued to chew, and asked her associate if they wanted a bite but her partner refused. She returned her focus on Benton. "You know what they call a quarter pounder nerfburger on Alderaan? A royal with cheese. Know why they call it that?"
"Uh.. because of the noble system?"
Kinley looked impressed. "Check out the big brain on Benton! You're a smart mother Sculag! That's right, the noble system." She tossed the nerfbuger down onto the table and pointed to the cup on the table. "What's in this?"
"Blue Milk."
"Blue Milk, good. You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash it down?"
Benton shook his head, and held his hand out, indicating she could help herself. She picked up the cup and sucked the milk through the straw until the cup sounded empty. The entire time her cold hard eyes never left Benton's.
"Ahh, that hit the spot." She clapped her hands together like she was brushing crumbs off them, and then took a few steps towards the Weequay on the couch. "You... Ohnaka wannabe, you know why we're here? Why don't you tell my partner over here where you got the stuff hid?"
The other human in the room, a plump short guy who thus far hadn't spoke, finally spoke up and pointed towards the kitchen. "It's over there..."
Kinely turned suddenly, her voice sharp and deadly. "I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING YOU A KARKING THING!" The kid froze in panic, while she glared at him, but spoke to the kid on the couch. "you were saying?"
"It's in the cupboard."
She nodded to her partner. That was their cue to start searching for the briefcase they were after. "We happy?" She called to her partner as they searched.
