I'm not food!

[Jhyx]

It took him a few tries, but the little creature was finally able to duck through the doors of Master Yoghurt’s Bar and Grill as someone opened them to gain entrance. Darting inside, his tail flicked up just before the door closed behind him, and he stood up on his back legs in a futile attempt to get a better look at the interior. Ears twitching, he listened to the sounds of voices intermingling with one another, and his head turned every which way before settling on a pair of black military issued boots that stared him in the face.

Craning his neck, he found himself gazing at a door guard who in turn was staring down at him. A second passed, than in a blur of motion the small creature leapt up onto the counter by the guard’s side. “Name’s Jhyx.”

The guard only stared down at the little weasel thing.

“I don’t have guns, couldn’t carry the things if I wanted to, so I don’t need to check anything, ok? Besides,” he went on, striking a comical pose, “who needs guns when you got muscles like these, huh?”

The guard only stared.

Sidling up to the guard, Jhyx nudged him. “Listen pal, I’ll come back to ya later, ok? I’m gonna go get a drink.” With another leap, the little creature flew through the air and landed lightly on a nearby table, startling the people sitting at it. “You should get something for that stare problem you got goin’ on there,” he called over his shoulder to the guard while jumping to the next table.

Jhyx bounded from table to table making his way across the room to the bar. From a distance, the image was actually quite comical; up down, up down, the cycle repeated itself as he table-hopped expertly missing plates and cups as if it were effortless. He’d done this many times before, and never passed up a good game of “dodge the dishware.”

With a final leap, he landed on an open barstool. The combined elements of his momentum and the fact that the stool had been built to swivel caused him to clamp his gloved paws onto the edges and watch as the bar and everyone in it went around in circles. Finally it stopped, and he remained motionless. His ear twitched a few times as he carefully released his deathgrip on the stool to turn and face the bar. He sat; flopped down rather, and let his tail hang down to make tiny swishes in the air.

With slight annoyance, Jhyx found that when he sat, his eyes were level to the rim of the bartop, and hopping up, planted himself on the bartop; his tail draped over the edge and hovering over the barstool he’d previously occupied. His small, gloved paw slapped the top. “Can I get a water over here?”

[Marcus QDunn]

OOC : Sorry to interject, but post was masterful. I'm having real problems containing laughter and the imagery was wonderful. Bravo!

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taataani glanced at the squeaky little forrda as he hopped up on the bar. Her blue eyes seemed to shine as she adjusted her glasses, a smile across her supple lips.)

Well hello therrre...

(She purred, her tail swishing about as she watched him. The bartender arrived with her drink, and she sipped the reddish alcohol, wiping away an errant drop from her upper lip with a quick, pink tongue)

[Salemn Lysce]

Suddenly Jhyx could hear the scraping of a stool being pulled out besides him. When he turned his head to see who caused it, he saw a little girl with brown eyes peering back curiously. A slight smile could be seen on her face as she clambered rather akwardly onto the stool, her feet dangling above the ground. He could hear her voice in his head, since she used the Force.

Hi ! I've never seen you around here before ... Or rather yet, I've never seen anything quite like you. I'm Salemn, what's your name?

She turned and looked at the stranger who sat opposite to the critter. It was a woman, but oddly enough, she had stripes and cat ears, accompanied with a tail. Realizing that she was staring, she quickly looked away, hoping not to be rude.

OOC ~ Yes, I agree with Marcus. The image you gave in your post was quite humorous !

[Jhyx]

Jhyx looked over at the owner of the purring voice as the bartender set his glass of water before him, and smiled from ear to ear.

"Hi Catwoman," he chirped happily.

Grasping the mug with both paws, he lifted it to his mouth. It seemed as though his entire upper body tilted back as he tipped the cup upwards to allow the water passage down his little throat.

Setting the cup heavily back on the bar, he wiped his muzzle with a swipe of his arm and looked at the little girl who'd spoken in his head. With a suave hand, he attempted to slick his ears back, and put on his best dashing and devonnaire smile.

"You can call me Mr. Universe." he shrugged. "I tried Mr. Know-it-all, but that was too on the nose."



ooc: My humble thanks <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(The little creature suddenly found itself picked up by a striped hand, as Taa brought him up to eye level. She smiled softly, the tips of canine teeth barely visible behind glossy lips.)

Mjy name jisss Taataanji, forrda...and wherrre have jyou been all mjy ljife.

(She chuckled to herself, eyeing him over)

[Jhyx]

"Whoa! Easy lady!" Jhyx exclaimed, trying to pry her fingers from around his small body. "This is very expensive merchandise here, ok?"

"And the name's Jhyx, not Forrda" he went on, just a tad out of breath and still trying to extricate himself from her grasp.

[Salemn Lysce]

Salemn smiled slightly at his "supposed name".

Alright, Mr. Universe ...

Suddenly her eyes widened as the felined female picked him up, bringing him dangerously close to her mouth. "Mr. Universe" was trying desperately to extricate himself from her grip.

Um .. Ms. ? I don't think he likes being held ...

Sometimes, it was very aggravating to continuiously speak through the Force. This was one of those times she wished she wasn't mute.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Jhjyx...what an jinterrressstjing name...

(Taa spoke unenthused, using her index finger and thumb to muzzle the little creature. Unfortunately for Salemn, her force-carried words could not be heard in a Cizerack mind, as they were completely blind to the force. Taa continued to glance the little creature over, her grip around him steadfast.)

jYou know...jI've been lookjing forrr a frrrjiend ljike jyou.

(She laughed throatily, watching him fidget in her grasp. The creature was maybe a third of a meter long, and not very plump, but with enough meat on the bone to be fun. Taa's pink tongue ran along her teeth as she sniffed at Jhyx...prodding the alien's little paunch with her left index finger.)

[Jhyx]

Jhyx's ears twitched uncontrollably as soon as her fingers closed his mouth, and he attempted to pull away more foribly. Planting his footpaws square on her well-endowed chest, he pushed away with all his might.

"Mmmfffllgooo kmphme," he managed to inarticulately mumble.

[Salemn Lysce]

Salemn frowned slightly. Maybe the woman didn't hear her. Well, she didn't want to see the poor critter scarfed down, so she took a napkin and ripped a piece off. Taking out a pen, she scribbled on it, then handed it to the lady.

http://belialsignature.clanpages.com/Banners/Scribble.GIF

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Feeling pressure on her chest, Taa inadvertently released her hold on the creature's snout)

Oh jyou'rrre a plajyful one, too. jI ljike that...

[Jhyx]

Even with her fingers gone, Jhyx still pushed away from her. "Aye, I'm playful."

Wiggling the toes of his footpaws still firmly entrenched on her chest, he winked and made a clicking noise while flashing her yet another of his dashing smiles.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa growled, grasping the creature's hind legs as she looked at the paper the little girl handed her.)

jIf jyou know a betterrr wajy to have lunch, jI'm all earrrsss.

(She wiggled her long ears for emphasis, turning back to the little weasel)

[Jhyx]

"Lunch??!!!" Jhyx was usually clueless about a lot of things, and this situation was no different. "You wanna eat me??!!"

With this new revelation, his struggles increased and he threw his head back. "Help!!!! She wants to eat me!!!!!!"

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(With that, Taa stuffed half the little creature into her mouth)

[Jhyx]

With the upper half of his body crammed unceremoniously inside the cat woman's mouth, Jhyx did the only thing he could think of. He wriggled his arms in front of him and tickled the inside of the back of her throat.

"Spit me out you heartless wench!!!!" he yelled within the cavern of her mouth.

[AmazonBabe]

:: And the furry creature was instantly plucked from Taa's mouth. AB lifted him up and out of Taa's mouth, the creature scurrying onto her shoulder. ::

He asked for help, and he will receive it.

:: She eyed Taa, somewhat sternly. ::

Do try to behave.

:: The creature was hiding somewhere in the folds of her red hair, a bit wet from the cat's saliva. AB handed him a napkin to dry off. ::

You'll have to excuse the Cizerack. They find anything small and scurrying to be food.

[Salemn Lysce]

Salemn was stunned at what happened next. The woman ate the creature. Or so she thought. Another woman came along and rescued the critter, for Salemn was too shocked to move. Finally, her senses came back and she glanced at the newcoming woman. A powerful aura radiated from her, and instantly she knew. The woman was a Jedi Master.

Hopping off her stool, she curtsied in politeness.

Forgive me about earlier, M'am ... I seemed to have lost my wits.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx perched on the stranger's shoulder and accepted the napkin she handed him, proceeding to dry himself off with a feverish pace.

Satisfied that he was dry enough, he crumpled the napkin into a little ball and through it at Taa. Wrapped his tale around his savior's neck to steady himself on her shoulders, he settled himself comfortably.

"You know Catwoman, you're lucky this lady came by," he said with a smug grin, puffing out his chest and crossing his arms. "If she hadn't, I would have had to bust one of my lethal moves."

His ears twitched, and he leaned forward a little bit. "And then you would have been really sorry."

[AmazonBabe]

:: AB looked at the Padawan and smiled, taking note that she had spoken to her through her mind. She had heard of this one from the training rooms in the Temple. Almost all Padawans were known to those in the Council. They were, after all, like their children. ::

There is no need for apology, Padawan. It is understandable that a scene like this would cause one to be temporarily stunned.

:: She smiled. ::

But all is well now.

:: The creature was still atop her shoulder, glaring down at the Cizerack that had attempted to make a meal out of it. She chuckled softly, and turned her head to the side where the creature perched, it's soft tail warpped around her neck. ::

I don't believe we have been formerly introduced.

:: She extended a hand upward to shake his paw. ::

My name is Rie Mystt, though some here know me as AmazonBabe.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa licked at her lips as her catch was deprived. Her ears lowered as she glowered at the Jedi...then pouted. There wasn't much she could do about it, it seemed.)

jYou'rrre no fun!

[Salemn Lysce]

Salemn sighed slightly and clasped her hands behind her back. She watched the Cizerack carefully, incase she tried something again.

[Lochabre Stonewing]

Lochabre didn't like anything being eaten alive. It growled, it's red eyes staring at the cat-fleshed one from it's place as a cloak rack near the door.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx stuck a small tongue out at Taa but still made sure he was safely perched atop his rescuer's shoulders.

Flexing his arms, he cut a series of poses. "You see these, Catwoman? Huh? They're like steel. One punch from me," he waved a little fist in the air, "and you'd a been knocked from here to next Tuesday."

He beat at his stomach. "And these abs? Rock hard, baby!"

[Salemn Lysce]

She raised one hand to her mouth, hiding a smile. Jhyx, a.k.a. Mr. Universe, was very amusing in his comments.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr approached the scene with a quizzical expression on his face...his large frame dwarfing the rather-diminuitive Taataani. He hugged his mistress's mother in greeting as he approached, looking at the scurrying creature on the red-haired female's shoulder

[Jhyx]

And that was when Jhyx knew running would be his best course of action.

Bounding from the protective waves of red hair, he scurried over the male Cizerack's shoulder, over atop his head, and down onto the other shoulder before jumping to the bar. Landing on the bartop, his feet flew out from under him, the surface slick from too many spilt beverages.

Jhyx slid easily over the edge and disappeared to land on the ground behind the bar with a thud and small squeak. Instantly regaining his footing, he tore down the length of the backbar.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr watched the little creature run, immediately considering it for food. His body tensed to pounce, but a look of disapproval from Taataani caused him to stop. He looked toward the bar, his ears fluttering as he could only wonder what that was.

[Lochabre Stonewing]

Lochabre was by nature had a streak of curiosity a mile wide. It leaned forward from it's place, then stood to it's full height, watching the tiny fleshed one scurry. It stepped forward, one massive foot coming down with a thump as the full ton of alien began to move. It floowed the motion of the little fleshed one.

[What are you?] Lochabre asked in it's quiet-scream and blurred basic as it got close to the furry little thing.

[Jhyx]

Thankful that the bigger cat man wasn't after him, Jhyx leapt back onto the bar and settled himself on the other end of the long counter. Quite proud of his skills in evasion, he settled himself comfortably on the bartop.

And then he remembered where his drink was. His ears drooped as he cast a look in the direction of Taa and the big cat man. Ever so slowly he began creeping his way across the bar towards his drink.

Something spoke to him, and he froze in his stance to look up at a......... a giant to say the least. "I'm a uh," he mumbled, completely at a loss for words; something that never happened, "uh, well, I'm not sure. I'm me. What are you?"

[Lochabre Stonewing]

[I am called a Gargoyle by fleshed Ones . I am Clan Stonewing, Lochabre. ]

Full of curiousity, Lochabre cocked it's head, examining the small fleshed one. A harmless little creature for certain, one of Lochabre's palms could flatten it in a breath.

[What is a Me?]

[AmazonBabe]

:: AB flinched slightly and chuckled as the lithe creature sprung from her shoulder, and made off for the safety of the other side of the bar. The spot where the tail had been around her neck, began to cool, not having the warm fur around it. ::

:: It was then she saw the massive gargoyle move in to get a closer look at the creature. But she knew he would not harm it. Not unless it did something foolish enough that warrented a harming from the massive beast. But even then, the giant was quite gentle when it wished to be. ::

:: Looking back at the two Cizerack, she smiled and bowed her head slightly. ::

A good day to you both.

:: With that, she picked up the water the creature had left and walked to where the small was being confronted by the large. Reaching them, she set the glass down before the weasel-like being. ::

You forgot your drink back there.

:: She smiled, and turned to go back to her table. ::

[Jhyx]

Jhyx peered closely at the giant, and after deciding it wasn't going to hurt - or more importantly eat - him, he settled himself on the bartop as his rescuer deposited his drink next to him.

"Hey thanks Rie," he said, "I'm Jhyx by the way." Downing the rest of the cup's contents in one enormous gulp. A satisfied sigh issued forth from his lips, and he smiled in content before looking up at the giant once more.

"Well," he started, his bravado once more returned to him, "My name's Jhyx."

He leaned forward slightly, resting on his front paws while rocking back and forth. "I'm an Isnik."

[Massarri Keessuurro]

Massarri Keessuurro the Cizerak, entered the Bar & Grill, curious to what adventures would expect him inside. Casually, and thinking he was cool, he swayed his hips and, ocassionally pulling back his Elvis Presley style hair backwards as he strided toward the bar counter. Massarrii's appearance, was of someone utterly lacking class and taste. His attire consisted of a worn out red gigolo suit, some tacky shiny round buttons, a stripe patterned shirt under the suit, cheap sunglasses, a very basic chrono on his wrist and some non polished black shoes with the laces tied in a spagetti..

"A Correlljian Cocacabana Rrrhum, pleasse", he said, tossing the Republic credits on the counter. The bar man rised an eyebrow slightly at the peculiar sight of this "Mr. I am too cool to be Cizerak".

"Wjith an umbrrrella and a lemon"

The Cizerak smiled... this was going to be a fun night.

[Lochabre Stonewing]

[Jheeex?]

Mainly due to the many, many teeth the Gargoyle had, it could not pronounce the small furred fleshed ones designation. It was absolutly facinated by these highly fast and tiny fleshed one, to the point the beast bought it's face down at the same level to observe.

[What do you eat?]

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirrsseeto was curious at the talking food creature, and padded toward it. Taa forbade him to catch it, but he could look at it, if he wished.

[Jhyx]

As the huge gargoyle brought its face in for a closer look, Jhyx merely sat motionless, his eyes the only part of his body to move as they followed the giant's descent. He blinked a few times, his nose not three inches from the giant's face. "Um, I eat food. Mostly nerf ribs. Big, giant, barbecue nerf ribs." He spread his arms in emphasis, stratching them out as far as they could reach.

"And cheeseburgers, I love those! But don't get me started on pizza, I could go on for days just listing my favorite toppings! Hot dogs are good, but only if you put lots of toppings on." Jhyx was so engrossed in answering the gargoyle's question that he didn't notice the big cat man approaching.

[Lochabre Stonewing]

Lochabre tilted it's head, gazing at Jheeex.

[I like you] the beast replied. [I eat stone]

Lochabre didnt miss the furred fleshed one coming closer. It turned it head, so that one glowing red eye was looking at the cat-thing of of the corner. A low snarl escaped from Lochabre's jaws.

[I dont like ones that eat fleshed ones that still live] the Gargoyle told Jyeeex

[Jhyx]

"Stone, eh?" Jhyx asked, his gaze following that of his newfound friend's. His eyes widened at the sight of the cat man coming nearer, and he hopped to his feet. "Join the club," he muttered as he leapt through the air to land lightly on the gargoyle's broad shoulder.

He wasn't sure what the big cat man was going to do, but he wasn't going to be as ill-prepared as he was with Taa. Sitting casually on the shoulder closest to the approaching Cizerack, he crossed his arms. "You better be nice to me Mr. Catman."

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr smiled broadly, revealing his sharp canine teeth

[Jhyx]

Bouncing to his feet, Jhyx put his small fists in front of his face. "Put up your dukes, Mr. Catman," he quipped jokingly, a grin from ear to ear.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr slowly raised one very large fist, bringing it to eye level with the creature. The index finger suddenly sprung out, thumping the little guy across the jaw and knocking him from his perch. Jhyx landed at the big felinoid's feet, as Cirr looked down with an amused grin on his face.

[Jhyx]

Getting to his feet, Jhyx dusted himself off. "Gee, way to hit a guy," Content that he'd gotten the dust from the floor out of his fur, he gave a slight harrumph.

Arching his little back to look up at the big cat man, he put his paws on his hips, and unexpectedly sprung into the air. Shimmying up the big cat man's leg, he pulled himself onto his shoulders and leaned his elbows on the big cat man's head. "So what's your name, Mr. Catman?"

[Lochabre Stonewing]

[FRIEND OF LOCHABRE!] the Gargoyle screamed. The sound was intense and extremely high pitched, glassware near the beast shattered.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx flinched slightly at Lochabre's yell, tiny fists balling and tugging slightly at the big cat man's moppy hair. "Easy there, buddy," he said, trying to calm the giant, "take it easy."

He winked at the gargoyle and flashed an enormous goofy grin. "The masters got it all under control. I'm cool, I'm suave; nothing to worry about."

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr winced as the little creature pulled his hair, but made no move to dislodge him

jI am Cjirrrrrrsssssseeto.

[AmazonBabe]

:: AB turned, stopping in her walk to her table, acknowledging the little creature. ::

A pleasure making your aquaintance, Jhyx.

:: She smiled, nodding her head slightly, and turned. ::

If you wish to converse, I'll just be over there.

:: Still smiling, she turned and made her way to a nearby table to finish her drink. As she sat, she watched the giant gargoyle speak with the furry... Isnik, from what she'd heard him say, and spied Cirr moving towards them. She didn't rise from her table, knowing full well that if the cat decided to do anything, the gargoyle would flick him away. ::

:: Silently, she sipped her hot tea, watching the scene. ::

[Jhyx]

"Cjirrrrrrsssssseeto?" Jhyx did his best to repeat the big cat man's pronunciation as he positioned himself atop Cirr's head, and leaning forward, he looked Cirr in the eyes from an upside-down position.

"I'm Jhyx."

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Oh. Hello.

Cirrsseeto's ears lowered as confusion once again set in.

What arrre jyou dojing?

[Jhyx]

"Well, I was trying to have a drink when that catwoman over there decided to try and eat me," Jhyx started, his face completely animated as he spoke.

He hopped off of Cirr's head and settled on his shoulder. "I just got back from fight at least two dozen mobs of crazed scurriers." His arms gestured wildly as he spoke, grossly over-exaggerating his 'harrowing' experience before coming into the bar and grill. "But see, that's just the hazards of being someone as dashing and handsome as me. Not to mention deadly. I'm a magnet for trouble," he nudged Cirr's temple with an elbow and smiling from ear to ear, "Not to mention I'm a complete and total babe magnet."

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr continued to listen, not really having any idea what to say, as his ice blue eyes could only watch the little guy's antics

[Jhyx]

"-and then after I saved this entire troop of woolamanders from a pack of these vicious sintarils, I decided I needed some space. You know how it is? It's like, I've been around other beings for too long, I need some ME time! But of course that didn't last long, cause I happened to catch the eye of the queen of a tribe of amazons. Thanfully I hitched a ride with a whisper bird, and escaped." Out of breath, Jhyx tilted his head, settling himself more solidly on Cirr's shoulder. "So how about you? what's your story?"

[Azhure Darkstone]

::She had been watching with amusement in the shadows of the bar, and had to laugh. This creature was quite entertaining, perhaps even cute looking. But she could hardly believe that unless he had any hidden secrets in that mind of his. She smiled softly from the corner and put down her drink as she looked into his comically bright eyes::

Your a wonderful story teller

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr was amazed the little creature paused from speaking. When he asked of him, Cirr was somewhat unsure of what to say.

Well...jI.....sssjit herrre, sssometjimesss. Come mossstljy to get food.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx grinned broadly at the woman who'd complimented him, and bowed grandly from his perch atop Cirr's shoulder. "Much thanks, M'lady," he said, sweeping an arm out to his side.

Upon hearing Cirr's answer, he shifted his footing just a little bit to better situate himself. "Well, just don't eat me," he huffed, his tail softly thumping against the big Cizerack's shoulder blade as his ears twitched slightly.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

jIf Taataanji sssajysss no, jI won't.

Cirr looked at the little creature blankly, a tip of a sharp fang poking out from his lips.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx stared back at Cirr, then reached a tentative paw out to test the sharpness of the fang visible from between Cirr's lips.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

And just as the creature was about to touch the tip of the fang, Cirr's mouth moved as he spoke.

What arrre jyou dojing?

[Jhyx]

In a flurry of fur, Jhyx pulled his hand back as fast as he could. "Um, nothing," he said quickly before offering a lopsided; if not nervous grin, "Just uh, you know, nothing."

Looking around the bar from his perch, he turned his eyes back to Cirr. "So..... where are you from? I've never seen anyone like you or Catwoman."

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

We'rrre frrrom Carrrssshouljisss.

Cirr's ears raised

jYou've neverrr hearrrd of Cjizerrrack?

[Jhyx]

Jhyx shook his head, his ear slightly flopping to either side. "Nope. Never." Lowering himself into a crouch, he looked Cirr in the eyes and spoke in a whisper. "Do all your people eat living things? Or is it just a few of you that do that?"

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Talk about food made Cirr hungry, and he walked nonchalantly toward the bar.

We all do...usssualljy. We can't do jit verrrjy often jin placesss ljike thjisss.

Cirrsseeto looked to the already-cringing bartender...who somehow knew something squeamish was coming. Cirr pointed to a picture on the wall of a rabbit, and held up all the fingers on his right hand, to indicate how many he wanted. Reluctantly, the bartender went to the back room.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx balanced himself easily as Cirr walked to the bar, having ridden on shoulders many times before; they were the best methods of transportation in his opinion. He watched all that had happened from his vantage point atop Cirr's shoulder, and would have laughed at the face the barkeep pulled if he didn't know what was going to happen.

Padding over Cirr's head to the other shoulder, Jhyx remained mindful of the Cizerack's ears. The rabbits arrived, and Jhyx put a paw to his side and stuck out his tongue as he made a face. "And you're actually going to eat those things?"

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Motssumi watches she had heard Cizerack accents in the bar, she hadn't seen many here besides Taaj and the Kei Ai' Reei officer. She briefly took in the male's scent but yawned when she smelled the strong scent of another female on him, owned males were of no use to her. Her ears perked up at the little animal on his shoulder though. She poked the little creature with one finger.

What arrre jyou, forrda?

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

jYesss...

Cirr said, as if it were a silly question. A hefty hand reached into the cage the man brought, pulling out the smallest of the furry rodents, as Cirr held the little animal by the scruff of its neck in front of Jhyx, as if to offer him one.

jYou want one?

The rabbit wiggled its nose a little and blinked, its oversized back legs fidgeting.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx shook his head rapidly. "No thanks, pal, that's all your game," he said quickly, pushing the furry creature away with his little paws. "You eat it. I'll just-"

And that's when a finger poked him, and looking behind him, the little Isnik half jumped out of his skin. It was another catwoman!!! She probably didn't know he wasn't to be eaten, and therefore sought refuge atop Cirr's head.

Glaring down at the female Cizerack, he twitched his ears. "I'm Jhyx," he said firmly, "And I'm not food!"

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr looked up in a befuddled manner as Jhyx scrambled up his hair. His blue eyes then tracked down to a dark-skinned Cizerack woman.

Ah...hello.

Cirrsseeto smiled politely, still holding the fidgeting rabbit by the scruff

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Wasssn't thjinkjing of eatjing jyou honessstjy, jyou'rrre too ljittle to make much morrre than a sssnack and ssstjill what arrre jyou?

Motssumi asked, watching the critter from his perch. (Jumpy little bugger) Her eyes flitted over to Cirrsseeto.

Hello.....

She smiled before looking back at the little furry thing.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx slowly lowered himself back onto Cirr's shoulder. "Well, I wish Catwoman was as fickle about food as you are," he remarked, settling himself once more. She didn't seem to want to stuff him down her gullet, so he made himself comfortable.

"And I'm an Isnik," he answered her, tapping idly at one of Cirr's ears.

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

One of Motssumi's ears went up in curiosity.

jIsssnjik? Wherrre arrre jyou frrrom?

She asked, thinking if she could find that planet, there would be enough of the little animals to make a meal of.

[Jhyx]

Bouncing to his feet, Jhyx pointed madly at the Cizerack woman. "HA!!! You're not fooling me!! No way am I gonna tell you where I come from!!!!"

He crossed his arms in a huff. "Nice try, but I ain't talkin'."

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Motssumi looked at Jhyk then over to Cirrsseeto.

Qujite an odd frrrjiend you have therrre although jI don't sssee whjy jyou'rrre not eatjing hjim.

She smirked, watching Jhyk's reaction.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr glanced at Jhyx, then looked at the Cizerack lady, shrugging slightly. He then shoved the little rabbit into his mouth, gulping it down in three big bites.

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Motssumi perked up a little at the scent of blood, but she wasn't going to steal any of it since it wasn't her way. Looking back at Jhyk, she watched the little critter out of still mild curiosity.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx put a paw to his chest and made a sour looking face. "Been there, done that," he said in abject disgust at the memory.

Leaning up against Cirr's head, he looked down at the female Cizerack rather haughtily. "Besides," he went on, "Cirr and me, we're buddies. We've been through thick and thin! Daring adventurers," Jhyx was on a roll, and even started talking in a very poorly imitated accent. "-comrades in arms, wot wot! Intrepid explorers, we've discovered ancient ruins from over half a dozen planet, and each time barely lived to tell the tale! Why, I remember one of our last excursions; Cirr had been felled by a nasty arrow from a wild tribesman-bloke from Onderon! He told me, 'Jhjyx, jyou have to leave me behind! sssave jyourssself!' " he did his best to imitate the Cizerack accent, and by this time, the furry little Isnik was acting the entire thing out, scrambling from one end of Cirr's shoulders to the other.

"I told him 'No! I never leave a friend behind!' And then I fought the entire tribe off with my bare fists!" Finished with his narration, he sat, smirking.

"We're like blood brothers! Ain't that right Big Guy?" He patted the top of Cirr's head while leaning back slightly to look the Cizerack in the face, only to watch him swallow one of the rabbits. His eye went as big as saucer plates..

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr swallowed, licking at his lips as he glanced at Jhyx...half the things he said he didn't even know what they meant. But they sounded good, so Cirr's ears perked and he nodded his head convincingly to Motssumi

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Sssurrre, ljittle one, jI sssaw hjim trrrjy to eat jyou a mjinute ago......

[Jhyx]

Gulping, Jhyx leaned forward again, out of view of Cirr's face and put a paw to his stomach. "I think I'm gonna be a little sick," he mumbled the skin beneath his fur turning a light shade of green.

At Motssumi's comment though, he seemed to snap out of his temporary malady, and he shook his head. "No no no," he corrected her sternly as if she was his pupil, "That was Catwoman. Catwoman tried to eat me, Cirr didn't."

He patted Cirr's ear in reassurance. "Like I said; we're buds."

[Lady Vader]

*She had kept silent at the bar for the most part, her hood and cloak having concealed her features and figure. But this last story, especially after the Cizerack had attempted to eat the jabbering creature, had brought a laugh from LV's lips.*

*She removed her hood, and looked over to the trio, eyeing the Isnik.*

You know, most creatures, after being thought of as a snack by a Ciz, would have run for dear life by now.

*She graced the creature named Jyhx with a smile.*

But you haven't done so. You just sit there, on that Ciz's shoulder.

Makes me wonder if you're either incredibly brave, or wanting a quick end to life.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx turned his head every which way, searching for the owner of the voice before his gaze settled on a woman a little ways down the bar, and he returned her smile, his ears twitching.

"I live for danger!" he announced proudly, his little arms akimbo, "In fact, Danger is my middle name. Jhyx.... Danger..........uh........." his mind ran in circles, trying to think of a fashionable last name, ".......Verutskie!

"I laugh in the face of danger, HAHAHA!!!" This last part was illustrated as he threw back his head in maniacal laughter.

His laughter dying down, he grinned and sat once more, patting a spot on Cirr's shoulder. "That, and it's incredibly comfy up here."

[Lady Vader]

*This one she liked. He amused her. Not like some of the dry ones here at the bar. Raising an eyebrow towards the creature, she gestured in his direction with a gentle wave of her hand. *

Come here.

*The Force slowly lifted him from his perch, and he floated through the air, over the bar top, to come and rest near her drink. She smiled at his expression as he "flew" towards her. If only she'd had a holocam with her.*

*Once the creature had been set down, she raised her right hand to him, palm downward, fingers drooping gently.*

I overheard your name is Jhyx. You may refer to me as Lady Vader.

[Jhyx]

His eyes bugged out as he floated through the air, but fear was suddenly replaced with fascination, and fascination was swiftly replaced with giddiness. He stuck his arms out in front of him, imitating an old superhero he'd seen from a discarded picturebook a few years ago. As he landed softly on the bartop near her drink, he hopped up and down in complete excitement.

"That was great!!!!" he exclaimed jubilantly dancing in place, his smile wide enough to park a speeder in. "Let's do that again!!!!"

He stopped when she held her hand out to him, first sniffing it then abruptly taking it in both his small paws and shaking it madly. "Lady Vader? Pleasure to meet you!!!!"

Flopping his little bulk down on the bartop right in front of her, he stared up at her, still fLashing her his pearly whites. "Yeah, I'm Jhyx."

[Lady Vader]

*It was all she could do to control her laughter. She had not seen such blatant joy in such a long time, and this being made it worht while. Most men would have taken her hand and planted a kiss on it, but the way he had shaken it enthusiastically with both paws made a smile spread acorss her face. It seemed his smile was contagious.*

So, you liked flying, did you? What esle does such a fellow as yourself enjoy?

*She motioned the bartender over to get her companion a drink, and then went back to giving the creature her full attention.*

[Jhyx]

Leaning back on his elbows, Jhyx looked up at Lady Vader. I like to travel," he began ecstaticly, "All over the galaxy!!!"

And at this exclamation, he jumped to his feet with his arms spread as wide as they could possibly go. "Exploration and adventure; that's my calling!" He twirled on one footpaw, his arms still extended, "I go all over the galaxy in search of new challanges; I boldly go where no one has gone before!!!" He jutted his jaw out, and pointed dramatically at the roof.

"But, right now I don't have anything to do, so I've just been hanging around here." He hunkered down once more, and hop/shuffled his way closer to her. "But what about you?" he asked, his eyes curious, "What do you do?"

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirrsseeto watched Jhyx float away, his ears drooping glumly. Strange enough, he found the little creature to be good company. Aside from Saarreeaa, he seemed the only creature he'd met to not make fun of him, scold him, or ignore him. He sighed breathily, snatching another squirming rabbit and wolfing it down in a series of quick, crunching bites.

[Jhyx]

Utterly overjoyed that he was making friends, Jhyx frantically waved Cirr over to sit next to him and Lady Vader. So the big cat man ate rabbits and other live things, Jhyx didn't care. Just as long as Cirr didn't eat him. They were a team; or at least that was how Jhyx percieved things.

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Motssumi continued to watch the little creature's antics, she didn't know but it was interesting.

jI stjill don't qujite beljieve jyou, sssmall one, but jI would thjink asss a tjypjical male, jyou would prrreferrr female companjy jif gjiven the chojice.....

Her eyes briefly flitted over to Cirrsseeto again, even with the bit of nodding, his manner had told that he wasn't telling the truth but it didn't matter really, the little orange animal was interesting even if it did boast a little......

[Jhyx]

Jhyx rolled his eyes and a single ear twitched. "Well of course I'm a typical guy; I wouldn't be the stud that I am if I didn't want to charm the ladies," he said as if she should have already known that particular piece of information.

In fact, Jhyx fancied himself quite the "ladies man", though nothing ever seemed to come of his aspirations. Not that he ever minded. He liked to make women laugh, and loved being the life of any party.

He looked back at Lady Vader, his tail lightly thwumping from side to side as he uncharacteristically waited patiently for her reply.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr walked over to the table, toting the little cage with him.

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

jif only otherrr malesss sssharrred jyourrr confjidence, sssmall one, takesss farrr too long to convjince malesss thessse dajysss......but then again, ourrr malesss arrre taught to be that wajy......

Her eyes briefly scanned the bar, wondering where Taaj had wandered off to, she hadn't seen him in a few days.

[Lady Vader]

*LV reached up and scritched Cirr behind the ear. She knew most cat's, pets or otherwise, to enjoy this. She was a sucker for felines, being half of one herself.*

*Still smiling at Jhyx as he told his grand story of travel, she reached out with her other hand to take her drink. At this time the waiter had come back with the little Isnkik's drink. When he'd finished speaking, she answered his question.*

Well, my profession takes me on many travels. Being a Sith, I have many places to attend and see... among other things.

*She leaned closer, causing the Isnik to lean back slightly.*

Perhaps some day you would care to come to Corellia with me.

[Jhyx]

His eyes lit up brighter than anything, and he jumped up. "That would be great!!! You hear that, Cirr? She's gonna take me to Corellia!!!"

He broke out in dance, moonwalking back and forth while jamming on an air guitar and his tail slapped the table as a counterbeat. This lasted roughly two minutes until he stopped to take a drink of the water that had been set down for him. He took a long gulp, then placed the cup back on the table, sitting once more. It was easily apparent however, that he was having a hard time controlling his excitement.

"So When can we leave?!"

[Lady Vader]

*She was wiping a tear from her eye when Jhyx asked when they would leave. She couldn't remember the last time she'd laughed so hard.*

Well, after I conclude my business here, which is mainly relaxing and drinking, we can set off. I'm sure we can find some quest quarters for you to stay at in the Palace.

[Jhyx]

He clapped his paws together, overjoyed that he was getting ready embark on another adventure. Twitching his ears, he looked up at her. "Palace?"

He leaned up closer to her face. "Are a queen?"

[Lady Vader]

*She laughed again.*

Core be blown, no! I'm not a Queen. But I am a Council member of The Sith Order. That's where you will be staying at: The Sith Order Palace.

[Jhyx]

"Oh wow!!!" His smile had the potential to blind. A palace!!! He was going to stay at a palace!!!

His tail hit the table once more, and Jhyx winked up at her. "And don't worry Your Majesty, your secret is safe with me," he whispered. "I can understand why you'd want to keep a low profile in here."

[Lady Vader]

*LV raised an eyebrow, chuckling. She began to wonder how he'd take to Iesis and Shenraun. Well, all would be found out once they reached Corellia.*

*She scritched him lightly under the chin with one claw.*

I do hope you don't mind traveling in a Star Destroyer. It's a rather large ship and one can easily get lost in it.

[Jhyx]

This was just getting better and better, and Jhyx could barely keep his energy under control. When she mentioned traveling in a Star Destroyer, he just about passed out. "A Star Destroyer???!!!!" he squeaked, "That's soooo cool!!!!! I've always wanted to be on one of those!!"

Starightening his posture, he saluted Lady Vader. "Admiral Jhyx M'lady; at your service." He clasped his paws behind his back and marched over to Cirr. "Captain Cirr, Sir! Raise foreward shields and prepare to fend off the pirates!! We'll show those blagarts that we mean business!!! They'll soon know not to attack a Star Destroyer!!!"

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr just blankly watched the conversation, half a rabbit's leg sticking out of his mouth as he did so.

[Lady Vader]

LV watched as Jhyx began to parade around giving orders to a half-brained Cizerack stuffing his face with rabbits. The sight was too much. Between smiles and held back laughter, she looked at the large feline, putting a finger on the rabbit's foot and stuffing it into his mouth.

Try not to blow a fuse, Cirr.

She looked back at the jittery Jhyx.

So... Admiral... you've experienced space travel. And with pirates no less. But... have you ever witnessed a...

She leaned in closer.

...Sith versus Jedi battle?

[Jhyx]

If his eyes could get any wider, they would have exploded, and his jaw nearly hit the tabletop. "A Sith versus Jedi battle?!"

He'd heard stories of the two groups and their long feud, but he'd never even seen a clash between the two. "I haven't ever seen one of those before," he went on, moving back to sit in front of her, "What are they like?"

[Lady Vader]

Oh...

*It was her turn to tell a story.*

...they can be quite deadly. But on the whole, quite exilerating as well.

Many a time, fights can end up with one opponent being maimed or killed, though there are times when there is a draw.

*She leaned on one elbow.*

I remember fighting a Jedi Knight once. He did offer a challenge, but not a big one. In the end, I got the upper hand, and he perished. Knights can be easy if they have not been properly trained.

Now, Jedi Masters on the other hand, they can be a challenge. But again, it depends on their experience.

*She took on a far off look.*

The clashing of lightsabers... the drawing of first blood... it's like nothing else in the universe.

*Her eyes came back to the bar.*

When you are at the Sith Order, I will take you to see the training grounds. There our young pupils train. And they train well and hard.

[Jhyx]

He couldn't wait to see all that Lady Vader was talking about. He sat silently, his tail swishing back and forth as his mind's eye painted grandiose battlegrounds with majestic warriors, each fighting for their own reasons; and each one wielding a lightsaber.

All he could do was stare up at Lady Vader as she spoke, entranced, for lack of a better word by the words she spoke.

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

Saarrreeaa walked through the door of the Bar and Grill, her ears laid back as her eyes searched for Cirrsseeto. The NRSF guard at the door made her walk through the weapon detector once more, and would have sent her through a third time if she hadn't shown him the metallic belt she had on under her tight fitting jacket. "jYou thjink jI can hjide a blasssterrr jin thjisss outfjit?" The male, flustered, shook his head in a silent no, and sent her on her way.

Frustrated, she spotted Cirr eating at a table, and threaded her way through bodies towards him. Thjisss place jisss gettjing too popularrr; jitsss crrrowded all the tjime now! The lithe female thought she saw her mother at the bar, but surely that was her imagination. Wasn't it?

Looking back, Saa saw a nondescript female and a gaudily dressed male at the bar. But no blonde haired Cizerack female. Eyebrow quirked, she put her hand on Cirr's shoulder, paying no attention to the gathering at his table. "Werrre jyou gojing to brrrjing djinnerrr to me orrr not? A female could ssstarrrve to death, jyou know!"

[Lady Vader]

*Smiling at Jhyx, she looked up to the new arrival. Cirr had another rabbit foot dangling out of his mouth, but she made no move to push this one in. She tilted her head slightly to the Cizerack female.*

He did order a cage of live rabbits. Though the supply is nearly gone, and I do believe it was only a snack.

*Completely undaunted by the blood drips on the table, she turned back to Jhyx.*

Perhaps we could join these gentle-beings for dinner and then be off to the Sith Order? It'd be rude to just leave the company that has so graciously joined us.

*She enjoyed the company of feline species, being half Trianii herself. She only hoped it wouldn't send her little companion into a frenzy being surrounded by cat-people.*

[Jhyx]

Jhyx looked up as well when the newcomer and spoke to Cirr. Jumping to his feet, he marched resolutely across the table, and after shoving the rest of the rabbit foot into Cirr's mouth, he bounded up to stand on Cirr's head. He clasped his paws at the small of his back once more and addressed the Cizerack Woman. "Pardon me, Miss, the name's Admiral Jhyx, and I won't allow you to talk to my officer in that tone," he said in a firm voice.

"Captain Cirr and I are on leave and enjoying this fine establishment. If you would like to eat with us, than I'm sure we can find you something to accomodate you. In the meantime, I would appreciate it if you excercized some manners."

Jhyx finished his sentence with an affirming nod, hopping down onto the table and giving the Cizerack woman a stern gaze lest she try and backtalk him.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr's eyes widened as he heard Jhyx talk to Saa...and talk DOWN to her at that. His ears fluttered as he tried to subtly shake his head...hoping the little creature would take heed and stop the insults, before he got both of them killed...or more precisely before he got Cirr beaten and Jhyx, well, eaten.

[Jhyx]

Jhyx stopped abruptly; he knew the look Cirr was giving him. He'd seen it plenty of other times before, and that was usually when something not so good was about to happen.

His little ears fell, and he looked up at the Cizerack woman. Jhyx let out a small, nervous laugh, and offered her a cheezy grin.

[Lady Vader]

*Catching on, LV stood, offering the Cizerack woman a seat. She figured that a Cizerack woman would listen to another woman, one of feline decent. And just to be on the safe side, Lv used her natural ability over felines, and nudged the woman's mind, soothing it with patience.*

Please, do join us. We'd be honored with yuor company.

*She smiled graciously, letting one arm hang down, somewhat obscuring Jhyx, as a precautionary in case the cizerack lunged at the little critter.*

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

Saa's ears laid back as a tiny creature jumped on her manservant's head and told her off, in no uncertain terms. Her lips curled back in a snarl, but the creature suddenly looked uncertain, and offered a grin to her.

Couldn't very well eat something that smiled. Although, it wasn't a bad idea. The other female at the table, who smelled a little Trianii, offered her a seat, and she sat, losing intrest in eating the little forrda that talked back.

"Thank jyou forrr the jinvjitatjion." She nodded politely to the other female, and reached for the last rabbit, cracking its neck. The warm body went limp and Saarrreeaa delicately ate the meat off the bones, slurping up the fluids within the morsel.

[Jhyx]

Peeking out from behind Lady Vader's arm, Jhyx watched the Cizerack woman dispatch the last rabbit with more delicacy; if that's what it could be called, than Cirr.

Stepping out cautiously, he walked over to her slowly. "Do you know Catwoman?" he asked, curiosity returning, "'cause you look a lot like her. Only younger."

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

Saa frowned, reaching out a hand towards the forrrda. It jumped back, away from her curious touch, and she had a sudden instinct to leap across the table onto it. She licked her lips instead, and nudged Cirr to send him for more food. "jI do not know who jyou arrre rrreferrrjing to."

Catwoman? If this woman looked lik her, only younger... Frrrell, Motherrr jisss herrre. And she was probably making her way over right now, if she was still in the bar. jI know jI told herrr to vjisssjit, but thjisss jisss too sssoon! Saa looked down at the creature, who had grown brave again and was almost by her elbow, and quirked an eyebrow up.

"Do jyou have a name, Courrrageoussss One?" One snap and he was dinner. Or at least, an appetizer. But such a kill would bring pleasure only to her stomach. Then again, maybe not...

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirrsseeto nodded obediently, leaving to bring back two dozen sajoi mice, and two 50 pound whole groupers

[Lady Vader]

*LV watched as Cirr went off in serach of food. She could only imagine what the big feline would bring back as the latest "kill", for the killing would more than likely occur afterwards.*

*She kept an eye on the cizerack woman, ready on a moments notice to silence the feline's instincts with a thought. But for now, she allowed the conversation to continue.*

*In the meantime, she pulled over a server droid and ordered herself a plate of Naboo gouber fish in a mild sauce with Mon Cal mini crabs on the side, with a glass of asti. The droid took down the order and inquired as to if there would be anything else. She paused and looked to Jhyx.*

I don't mean to interupt, but did you have any preference for dinner?

[Jhyx]

Jhyx inched closer to the stranger. "My name's Jhyx." He continued to stare at her, and finally sat down in front of her. "Are you sure you don't know Catwoman?" he inquired, a single eye narrowing as he examined her, "She tried to eat me earlier."

He looked back to Lady Vader when she asked him about dinner. His eyes lit up and his ears twitched as he turned with a small hop to face Lady Vader. Smiling wide, he threw out his arms. "Ooh! A huge cheeseburger! With extra bacon and barbecue sauce!!!"

He hadn't had one of those in a long while, and just the thought nearly made his mouth water. Flashing her another smile, he turned back to the Cizerack woman.

[Lady Vader]

*Lv chuckled and ordered the requested meal for the bundle of nervous fuzz. The droid rolled away, and she returned her attention back to the conversation.*



(OOC: <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> That's too creepy! That's exactly what I was going to post in my previous post before I decided I should ask you what you wanted to eat. Albiet, I wasn't gonna post extra bacon and bbq sauce, but I was gonna order ya a cheeseburger. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)"> )

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

"Jhjyx, jisss jit?" She frowned a little more over the strange name. There weren't enough syllables.

Cirr returned with their meal, and a feral smile drew Saa's lips up, exposing her sharp teeth as she reached for a sajoi mouse, letting it crawl on the table in front of her. It darted to the right, and she slapped her hand down, cutting off its escape.

The little white forrda scurried left, and she scooped it into her palm, popping it into her mouth like a morsel of popcorn. The tiny bones crunched in her mouth, but they were so small she just swallowed the entire creature. The other sajoi mice were crawling over each other in the high sided bowl they had been placed in.

Saa reached inside, and pulled out two more by their tails, and offered them to Cirr. "jYou know, Jhjyx, too much cooked meat jisss unhealthjy." She winked at the tiny male. Too tiny to be good for anything but food...

[Jhyx]

Jhyx watched her eat the mouse, completely unfazed after having witnessed Cirr's table manners. His eyes wandered to the bowl of mice, and he reached a tentative paw out, plucking one of the rodents out by the tail. Holding it up, he set it before him, observing it's fidgeting.

"Well," he began, still watching the mouse, "I've eaten bugs before. Does that count?"

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr accepted his mistress's token, tossing the two sajoi in his mouth, and swallowing them whole. They tickled as they squirmed down his throat, causing a goofy grin.

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

Saa wrinkled up her nose as a wayward tail tickled it. Slurping the rest of the mouse into her mouth, she swallowed before speaking to the little alien. "jInsssectsss have a lot of prrrotejin, but horrrjible flavorrrsss. jYou ssshould brrranch out to otherrr foodsss."

She leaned comfortably against Cirr's shoulder as she dangled another mouse down her throat.

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Motssumi still watched the little furball, still not decided if she wanted to eat him.

True but at leassst jinsssectsss don't tasste asss bad asss that damn rrroot ssstew thejy ssserrrve herrre......

[Lady Vader]

*It was like watcing a live zoo on their humble table. The mice scurried about in the bowl, making an almost pitiful squeeking sound. LV smiled, invisioning each mouse being a Jedi, each to be shishkabobbed by one of her claws. Her daydreaming was intereupted as her meal and Jhyx's arrived. She cut at the fish with utensils and ate it as the Ciz about her gorged themselves on live, wriggling food. If she'd been anyone else, she may have been sick. But, the feline instinct in her made her feel quite at home.*

*She smiled and spoke before stuffing a piece of the fish in her mouth.*

Just like being back on Trian...

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

Saa reached for another sajoi mouse, and was jostled from behind by an uncaring patron of the bar. Her hand hit the outside of the highsided bowl, knocking it over and loosing at least twelve plump mice onto the tabletop.

"Frrrell jit!" She snatched one, and then grabbed another, but there were too many to hold in two hands. Popping one into her mouth, her ears twitched, hunting instincts kicking in.

[Lady Vader]

*One of the sajoi's scurried over her plate, and LV speared it with a claw, her relexes honed from so much training and practice in the Force. She did the same with another mouse, this time using the fork occupying her right hand. Sighing, she dropped both dieing mice into the bowl with the others.*

Ah, the joys of eating live food.

*She saw the female Cizerack begin to ready herself for a chase around the bar, and figured the patrons there wouldn't appreciate it. Concentrating, a few of the mice began to float in the air, wriggling, as they were plopped back into the bowl. But there were still about half a dozen left running around.*

[Jhyx]

Disturbed while wolfing down his Cheeseburger with about as much finesse as Cirr had displayed with the rabbits, Jhyx looked up as the mice scattered around the table. A few headed in his direction, but he reached over and swatted them away with a quick paw.

He watched Lady Vader deposit two of the rodents back into the bowl, the fact that they were quickly dying due to puncture wounds not escaping his attention.

His eyes picked out a few more of the mice that were still loose, and crouching down low in preparation to pounce, he jumped forward, cupping one ine his paws. "Gotcha!!!"

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Unfortunately for Jhyx, Cirr was also tracking the same scampering rodent, and as he pounced, Cirr also swatted down, his large hand catching Isnik and Sajoi alike, as he prepared for another snack...the fact that Jhyx was on the menu not quite registering in his mind.

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

Saarrreeaa resisted the urge to jump on the tabletop, and snagged the last few mice which were contemplating jumping off the table.

[Jhyx]

Faced with the gaping maw that was Cirr's mouth, Jhyx's eyes went as wide as saucer plates, and he threw out his arms and legs, frimly clamping onto each side of Cirr's face, barring entrence to the toothy, gaping maw. He watches as the sajoi disappeared down the Cizerack's throat.

"Cirr!!!!!!"

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr suddenly seemed to snap out of his routine, swallowing the mouse as he saw his latest catch. He blinked a few times, then smiled sheepishly

Oh...um....sssorrrrrrjy.

He set Jhyx down on the table, patting his head rather roughly

[Motssumi Rosskaarru]

Motssumi watches the others briefly before pulling out a bone knife and spearing a few of the little creatures for herself. (Funny how they never notice bone weapons in searches.) She thought as she put one animal in her mouth then bit down, enjoying the sound of the fragile bones cracking and the blood of her prey in her mouth.

[Jhyx]

Somewhat rattled, Jhyx sat unmoving as Cirr patted his head. Then, checking himself to ensure that no damage had been done, he smiled up at the cat man. "Well, no harm done," he chirped, hopping to his feet and twitching his ears.

Moving back to his half-eaten cheeseburger, Jhyx resumed the task of eating the meal that was almost half as big as he was.

[Lady Vader]

*LV smiled and took another bite of her fish.*

Dinner and a show. Who would have thought?

*She continued eating.*

[Jhyx]

Stuffing the last of his cheeseburger into his mouth, Jhyx sat back, chewing. It took a few seconds, but he finally swallowed, and slapping the table in a brief drumroll, looked to Lady Vader, his eyes shining.

"That was great!!! I haven't had food that good in a long time!!!"

A server droid walked by the table, removing Jhyx's empty plate and taking it to the back kitchens.

Leaning back against the bowl that held the sajoi mice, the little Isnik sighed loudly, stretching his body out and folding his paws over his stomach. "Thank you for the meal, Lady Vader," he said contently.

[Saarreeaa Meorrrei]

Saa demolished the last of the grouper, and picked her teeth with a thin bone. "jI hate to eat and rrrun, but jI have bujisssnesss to attend to."

She wiped at her face with a napkin, and took her leave of them, knowing that Cirr would return to their rooms before she did to wait for her to return. Saa eyed the little forrrda a little longer, and then left the table.

[Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta]

Cirr also stood, knowing that now was the time to go back to the room. He smiled warmly as Saa departed, then gave a friendly smile to LV and little Jhyx.

jI have to go now. Goodbjye. jI'll sssee jyou laterrr...jI thjink.

Nearly tripping over his feet, Cirr departed nervously.

[Lady Vader]

*LV had finished her food, and was sipping her wine when the Isnik thanked her.*

You're quite welcome, Jhyx.

*She poked his tummy, which was now quite round.*

I don't suppose you want dessert now? Or would you like to have dessert aboard my destroyer?

[Jhyx]

Just the thought of leaving caused him to jump up. He was going to Corellia!!! He brushed down the fur of his chest, imitating an officer straightening his uniform, and clicking his heels together in a pristine military fashion, marched up to Lady Vader.

With a single bound her was on her shoulder, and straightening his back, he cleared his throat. "Ahem, *cough cough* I'm afraid dessert will have to be had aboard the ship, Madam. Duty calls, and we must away."

He was going to Corellia!!!!!

[Lady Vader]

*She chuckled as the lithe Isnik leapt to perch on her shoulder, his tail wrapping solidly around her neck to steady his balance.*

Then let us not waste anymore time, and be off.

*She stood, placing the payment and tip for the waiter, and began walking towards the bar door. From there, she navigated the streets, the Isnik wasting no time to see everything he could, as she made her way to the landing port where her shuttle awaited.*
