*Aram caught up the the Twi'lek former slave just outside the run-down establishment.* "Hey, are you alright?"
*He said, catching hold of her by the elbow as she was walking away.*=Twi'lek woman=
"I've been better. Look,"*she said, stopping and turning to face Aram,* "I'm grateful for your help back there, but I really need to get going. The sooner I can hide myself in the chaos the better. There will be more of them coming after me."
"What did you do? You must have pissed that Hutt of something bad for him to have sent that many after you."
=Twi'lek woman=
"I really don't want to talk about it. I really have to go, please?"
"Ok, if you want."
*Aram replied. But he knew that if she stayed here more thugs would be along shortly to collect her. If one had found her, and since he wasn't a bounty hunter, he may have called back to Tatooine to report in. Others would show up when he was overdue.* "Listen,"
*Aram said as the Twi'lek started walking away.* "I'm heading out to the Rim. You're welcome to join me. If they found you once on Alderaan, they'll find you again. Maybe when Weequay in there doesn't come back they'll send more. Or maybe he's smart enough to call for help when he wakes up--"
=Twi'lek woman=
"Call for help? You mean he isn't dead?"
"No. I won't kill an unarmed, unconscious person. Do I look like a cold-blooded monster to you?"
=Twi'lek woman=
"We have to kill him!" *She exclaimed, grabbing for the blaster.* "I he wakes up and calls for help there will be dozens of them!"
*Aram deftly dodged her grab.* "Look, if its that significant a deal, maybe its better to hide in the Rim. I'm heading to Ossus, way out Galactic East. Tatooine is pretty far in the Galactic South. We'd have 3/4 of the galaxy to hide in. They won't find us. We don't have to kill that thug."
=Twi'lek woman=
"You really think that will be enough to dissuade Goffa's henchmen?"
"I do."
*So that's the Hutts name, Aram thought.* "Here, this one is mine."
*He led the way to his battered Barloz.* "We call her the
Scorched Raven.=Twi'lek woman=
"We?"
"Me and Nuts, the R8 who keeps this bucket of bolts running proper. You'll meet him. But we shouldn't waste any more time. We gotta get going before Weequay wakes up and realizes he paid the tab."
*The boarding ramp was already down, and Aram led the way up and into the cockpit. He seated himself at the controls and primed the engines.*:: Nuts, wanna prime this beast for launch? ::=Nuts=
:: Breep dobeep ::
*In moments the Raven was lifting off, having been cleared by docking control for such a maneuver. Nuts wheeled up to the cockpit to meet the new passenger.*"Nuts, this is...uhh...Whats your name?"
*Aram asked, suddenly feeling foolish that he didn't even know his passengers name.*=Twi'lek woman=
"My name is Salisan'oiya, but you may call me Salis."
