Fun Times With VT-L2

Ghost nodded calmly to Keran before looking to Serenity and smiling kindly. "We'll be together and Carla is very good at aiming her acid spit." She said, patting the chicken atop her little feathered head. "Things will work out."

Mar then went to Serenity and put his hand on her shoulder, drawing her close and placing his forehead on hers. "Don't worry, Serenity. I'm not gonna be gone long. Keran will watch out for you while I'm gone, and he's a Jedi Master. You can trust him. And hopefully soon we will have what we need to free Ryze and put this horrible business behind us." He smiled. "So, what do you say? You up to this?"

A frown crossed Ghost's face at the mention of Ryze. She was still very disturbed by the information they had gotten back on her home world. Brushing her distaste aside, though, she silently waited for Serenity to answer Mar, ears twitching and turning slightly at all the sounds around them.

Despite how chaotic the place was, she wanted to explore. Everything was still so new to the young woman, after all.

Ryze snatched up VT-L2 the moment he returned, frowning at the small droid. "You're a little pain, you know that." He grunted before slipping back into the ship. The bounty on his head made the man extremely nervous and on edge. It was why he had never paid this planet a visit in the first place.

He was well aware of what could happen if he got caught.

"You should cheer up!" VT squealed as he flailed childishly. "Make more friends! We should go out and make more friends!"

Ryze groaned, setting the droid down on a table before noticing his chest was wide open. "Where is the part?!"

Tilting his head to the side, VT said, "I dropped it!"

"You little piece of..." Groaning again in defeat, Ryze just sat down and stared outside the ship. "I was going to fix the engine up enough that they could get more money for it."

"Oopsie!" VT giggled and hopped onto the man's shoulder, tugging at his hair childishly. "I want to do something! Play! Watch movies with me! Something!"

Ryze could only pray that Mar and company returned sooner rather than later.
