Re: Mission to Ryloth Part I - The Lorelei
It was a gentle reprieve, the news of their estimated time of arrival mixed with the invitation to lunch. When Kala introduced herself, Joron Sarrus made a point of acknowledging the Zeltron with a small nod of his head and the utterance of his first name. Beyond that, he did not speak of his trade nor did he speak of his skills. However, that may have been more to do with the sudden appearance of the security guard than it did with secrecy. His attention stolen, he turned to address the guard.
"A luncheon with the Duchess sounds lovely, thank you." Joron casually replied before returning his attention to the group. Interested in the Mandalorian's response, he gazed toward the reflective visor until she spoke an answer. "I see," he gave her a brief nod. "A most different approach than..." His eyes looked to Kala who was presently conversing with Narik.
Then it hit him, the sweet scent in the air that could only mean one thing. With a small twitch of his lips, the noble shifts his body and eyes the human and alien coolly. [private to Kala Jorn: You may sense a sudden burst of pain from Joron - perhaps as a tactic to distract his mind and body from your scent.] It was amazing how some people could be looked down upon for using poisons or other means to control a person and not Zeltrons - a species that could control sentient beings through use of their pheromones and emotion projection. Kala's natural abilities were the perfect reason why she was suitable for either side of the fence. However, observations were one thing, interaction was another.
"We have two weeks, there's no use to be hasty." he stated with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Our eventful itinerary will likely have much to do with Brill's business and it is very likely all of us will be present at the initial meeting. After all, we're part of Kaartuum Design Consortium. This cover should enable us to meet with him as we please to further any needed...negotiations. Depending on time of arrival and time of any scheduled meeting, we may or may not have ample time to observe our surroundings. If there is time before, Aadun, Narik and myself may play the role of tourists and learn what we may and act as necessary. If there is not, we will seek refuge from the mundane negotiations in one of the clubs the young Destombe finds pleasure. Others would be free to join us, of course."
Beneath his humble facade, there was something incredibly lurid about Joron not unlike a skilled dejarik player. His mind was already anticipating possible moves and there was no sure way of telling how far he'd already planned ahead. And in a brief moment of silence, the noble eyes look to Krysten and Kala, perhaps seeing either of them as a means to lure the Head Clan Member into a deadly trap. Without missing a beat, his eyes continue on to Aadun and Narik.
"There are many ways to be rid of the Distombe, ways that include either of your skills." Indeed. Between outright use of a blaster or a blade, droids could be sabotaged, consoles or speeders rigged to explode and all while security was helpless to record it all. "Though my mind often questions the daughter, Sinya. Have the three of you given that any thought or will you be relying on your-" Joron paused and offered Kala, Krysten and Kaiten a curious smile. "-charms and play it by ear?"
