Seeing that father and son are having a private moment I unfurl my wings and fly into town and land next to Qui-Gon, and tap the faceplate of the Ultimatrix that is on my chest returning to human in a flash or relight.
"You are quite interesting for a man that we found naked in a burnt down forest." Qui-Gon says to me in a semi-serious and joking manner.
"Ehh, no more interesting than you Jedi and your abilities granted to you through the force…my abilities are controlled by this device and prevent me from taking a number of random forms like my last one against my will…" I reply to Qui-Gon in a similar manner to the one he greeted me with.
All the villagers look at me with both awe and fear in their eyes as they whisper about me as I watch the soldiers, Senator lick their wounded pride and get into a couple luxury land speeders and drive away.
Entering the cantina, taking a seat in a chair in the corner, next to Qui-Gon who is eating a bowl of stew, setting down my recently pilfered blaster pistol and rifle on the floor next to me.
I was quickly given a drink and a large plate with a sunken center that makes it look like a bowl, filled with stew and a massive mug filled with something akin to beer if the smell and appearance of the amber liquid is anything to go by.
"I'm heading back to the ship to report what has happened here to the council and the Chancellor…I'll leave you out of the report as much as I can." Qui-Gon says to me as he finishes his stew and drink and stands up to leave.
"I appreciate you leaving me out of it as much as you can Jinn." I reply to Qui-Gon as he starts to leave the cantina, making the man look at me with a smile on his face as he gives me a nod.
'Haa, I'm kinda shitting a brick right now…I don't want to end up on the Sith's radar or the Jedi council's radar…nor the Republics…' I sigh in my mind as a stone drops in my stomach and I lose my appetite.
As I'm about to push away from the table, I watch as a gorgeous green skinned Twi'lek woman, the same woman who took a blaster bolt to the shoulder approaches me carrying a heaping basket in her hands, filled with bottles of what I assume to be alcohol.
"Hi I'm Lettua…most people here refer to me as Letty, I just…I just wanted to thank you for your part in protecting us…I know from your Jedi friend that you aren't a Jedi so that makes what you did for us all…so much more." The rather gorgeous Twi'Lek farm girl/woman says to me whilst she flinches as someone accidentally bumps into her and she has to adjust how she holds the handle of her basket, through her open tank top I can see a bandage on her chest…that is colored the same as bacta is when it's in a patch tank.
"Here let me take that for you." I say softly as I hold my hand out to her causing the woman to blush a darker shade of green, than her current healthy grass green.
"Thank you…" Letty replies back as she lightly clears her throat and her face gains a relieved look.
"You're welcome…and I was happy to help Letty…in fact you getting shot was what drove me to act…ahh right, my name is Shane." I reply easily to Letty, not bothering to lie about my name.
Letty shyly strokes her left lekku in her hand as she looks between me and the basket I'm holding for her.
'Bet I could get in her pants with little effort, but…I don't know when Dooku and Qui-Gon want to leave.' I think softly in my head…'Fuck it, I can figure out another way off the planet of I miss out on a ride off this planet for a chance to fuck a sexy Twi'Lek.' I continue my train of thought as the country girl musters up the courage to continue to say whatever she's thinking.
"Are you taking this to someone?" I ask a bit of a dense question, which makes Letty the Twi'Lek blush even harsher.
"Ah-actually, I know It's nothing much but…the wine and whiskey we produce here as our main export…but please accept this as my thanks to you for your aid in protecting my home…maybe I could show you around…" Letty jumps a little at my question before informing me the basket is a gift and then offers to give me a tour of the village while stroking her right Lekku and biting her bottom lip softly.
"Thank you…and I'd love for you to give me my own private little tour." I reply to Letty with a suggestive little smirk starting at the corners of my mouth while I wink playfully drawing out a nervous and shy giggle from the beautiful Twi'Lek.
Letty threads her arm of her uninjured shoulder into mine and leads me out of the cantina.
Letty and I are walking through her town, a few women and teens giggle and whisper amongst themselves as we pass them by, as Letty explains to me what buildings are used for their alcohol manufacturing.
But the exhaustion of everything I've recently been through is making it hard to focus on all the information she is giving me…other than that they have a plant here that sounds a lot like corn but is called cobbie-sticks.
I was about ready to give up and tell Letty that I'm tired when suddenly we entered a very cozy and homey feeling house.
I almost trip over a pair of work boots, "Sorry…I didn't really think about cleaning up…I just wanted to…see you before you leave…" Letty confesses to me in embarrassment as she guides me over to a very comfy looking couch.
"Don't worry about it…my dad's house wasn't much different…he's a dairy and meat farmer." I wave off Letty's embarrassment easily as I fall back onto her couch bonelessly and feel a bit embarrassed that I just flopped on her furniture.
"You're sweet." Letty says to me softly with an honest smile on her face.
'If you knew half the fantasies I've had about Twi'Leks in my life…you definitely wouldn't be saying that.' I mentally reply to her comment about me being sweet.
