[hider=Duplicate Post]"Well that's gotta be a first for me," Thaerex admitted.

"Eh, people shoot at me all the time," Theva snickered, waving the comment off absently.

"Well from what I hear about the Hutt Cartel, I don't imagine we'll be able to talk our way out of this," Thaerex guessed. He took a moment to catch his breath.

Theva's helmet hissed as the respirator disengaged. Pulling it off, she finally revealed her face to her companion. Thaerex had to silently admit to himself that she was much prettier than he'd expected. Her deep red eyes seemed to glow slightly in the shadows of their hiding place and stood out in stark contrast to her pale blue skin.

"If we want to get off this moon," Thaerex continued, "we're going to have to be smart about it. Which means first we've got to get you out of that armor."

The Chiss gave him an impish grin.

"Usually I insist men buy me dinner first before I let them see me naked," she retorted.  Thaerex blushed slightly as he realized what he'd just said, but before he could rephrase himself she rolled her eyes and exclaimed, "I'm joking! Sheesh! Go figure I'd get stuck with the one Inquisitor who hasn't got a sense of humor."

Again, Thaerex didn't bother to correct her when she misidentified him.  He stuck his head out of their hiding place to check and see if the coast was clear.

"By the way," he added, "my name is Thaerex."

The Chiss smiled and stuck out her hand politely.

"Thevalarahn, but Theva is just fine."

Thaerex turned around and took her proffered hand, shaking it firmly. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, Theva." 

After a moment he cleared his throat and, again, blushed a little.

"Are you...uh...wearing something under your armor or are we going to have to seek something elsewhere?"[/hider]
