Re: Part 3b - Desperately seeking R2
Rhijans forced himself to take a deep breath, and on the surface, at least, he seemed to calm. Those who'd been around him a little longer would recognize the assumed calm, a habit developed out of necessity, a way of appearing innocuous to a target that would pick out someone who looked ready for action.
He turned his back to one of the cargo containers, and leaned against it with a nonchalance that he didn't feel, examining the toes of his boots as he let his ears, and situational awareness, play across the surroundings that his eyes would too eagerly survey.
There was no good reason to be so antsy, he reminded himself. The droid had done exactly what it had been told to do, their contact was still safely anonymous...
One of the nagging annoyances in the back of his mind clarified, and he looked over at Jalt. "Don't suppose you've seen a bill of lading for this floating around anywhere, have you? I mean, it's an innocuous enough cargo, but still...if we get stopped, it'd be a welcome relief to have even a forged shipping manifest to show them."
