The Look

Zyria looked up at the pretty twi'lek as she made her way around the menu. Flirting hard with her Zyria smiled softly and nodded listening. She wasn't there for the food or the drinks. She was there for information. This twi'lek didn't have it. She was either too stupid or had a really good game of pretending to be. Either way she wasn't going to be ripe for the information picking. She placed the menu card down to her right and ordered a Core Martini, dry. The girl strode off and went behind the bar. Zyria looked at the man behind the bar and nearly laughed. That had to have been the man she saw showing off all his glory outside his window earlier today. She shook her head softly from side to side and opened up her holopad to check the room for bugs, spice dealer freqs and anything else that might be of help to her.Moments later two large black saucer eyes greeted her.

"Couldn't help but notice ya sittin' all alone like." Shifty asked

"Yes I am...enjoying a drink and relaxing." she replied

"I see ya lookin at the big guy behind the bar, yah..." Shifty proclaimed proudly

"He's quite a specimen of his species, why wouldn't I? He also likes to show everyone in the area who and what he is out of his bedroom window but...who am I to say anything..." she spoke with a sly smile

"Specimen...he ain't a thing er anythin...."shifty defended him quietly

She laughed and tossed her hair back. Her wild curls framed her face and fell along the sides of her neck as she laughed. It was like a symphony of movement as she reacted to others. That is what finally caught Durie's eye. Her laugh. It was toxic and infectious. He was certain that was probably one of her secret weapons in an arsenal of others that she kept hidden. Women like her didn't just walk around wearing clothes like she did and looking like she did for no reason what so ever. They wanted something.

"Of course he's not," she firmly agreed with him "But it does beg to ask the question he's awfully big to just be serving drinks. I mean I could see him as security or something like that..." her words trailed off as her eyes wandered along Durie's shape as she talked to the Rodian.

"Well yah he does help out in a pinch but he's a peaceful type, yah..."The Rodian's eyes shifted from side to side. That was it. That was his signal. That's how he gives away his information. She smiled widely and moved closer to him. The scent of lavender and vanilla permeated the space between them. Her dress while high cut in the front did not hold its own on the sides. Giving a near by glance more than just the side of her body. She opened her mouth with a smile and spoke like silk.

"He likes to fight doesn't he...."she uttered "But he's not allowed to because of either his size, his temper or that he won't admit he's a zabrak.." she grinned slowly.

Shifty looked at her, as her golden eyes opened and closed he smiled. He shook his head slightly trying to shake whatever just came over him. A drowsy light-headed feeling waved over him the closer he got to her.

"Meet me at these coords after the bar closes," he whispered and slid a small piece of paper towards her. She nodded and winked at him whispering a "thank you".

Groggily he moved back to his seat at the bar where Durie had been watching the whole thing.

"You told her didn'tcha?" Durie scolded him

Shifty put his head down and finished his drink in one shot and looked up at Durie's stern face. "Frak yah...."he scoweled as he shoved his empty glass to Durie.

"Oh hells..."Durie sighed as he looked over at her staring down at her datapad.
