Neil plopped down beside Sayeeda, taking another swig from the bottle he had caught a moment ago. The bartender spoke as he got comfortable in his seat. "Scholar?" She huffed, crossing her arms. The massive Alien merely rumbled at the mention of the name. She continued. "He's more of a criminal, and someone who doesn't pay his bills." Her last words ended in a snarl, and Neil raised an eyebrow. 

"You don't like him?" 

"Not in the slightest." She said, the more she spoke, the more prominent her accent. It was rough and coarse, but hard to pinpoint. Neil looked between her and her 'bouncer' if that was who this Xenos was. "Then can you tell us where to find him?" 

"Probably inside of a large predator's stomach by now. He went and stole my land-drifter not three days ago, saying he would be back that night. He's not been to the city since." She slammed her towel onto the bar, the cloth hitting the counter with a wet slap. Neil blinked, wiping a bit of perspiration from the light splash from face. He picked at his ear as he yawned, not quite seemingly to fully appreciate the news. "Which way did he go?" 

"Eastward into the valley." She said, pouring Neil a drink himself when he tossed her a coin, as well. "Good riddance I say." There was real venom in her words. The pilot pointed a finger at her from the hand that held his glass. "When was the last time someone took over a shift from you?" 

Her next words she had difficulty forming. "Took... over?" 

"That explains it." He mumbled, before turning to look at Sayeeda. "So, whats the boss lady thinking?"
