The talk ceased as an officer approached, giving Norman and his team leaders a sharp salute. Saint was quick to return it, his gaze remaining on the man until he slipped out of sight. Glancing about the table momentarily, Norm sat back a bit, slapping a hand atop the table as he remarked, "We -do- look like a table of Troopers. Feck it. Spread out. We'll talk business t'morrow. T'nite, find yerselves a friend... be it drink, woman, or money... I don't care."
With that, Norm pushed up from his chair himself, leading by example as he made his way past a few tables and chairs towards a lone woman (Najira) whom had just been speaking with the Twi'lek Commander only moments before she was called away. Laying a hand on the back of a chair, he inquired briefly, "This seat taken?" The Trooper didn't really wait more than a second if that before seating himself there anyway. Extending a hand across the table, he introduced himself, "Name's Norm. You enjoyin' y'self t'nite?"
The business talk had lost its interest. True, this was more or less an Imperial tavern, but the point of a tavern was for rest and relaxation... and a bit of flirtation mixed with intermingling. He'd have plenty of time to sit around and chat it up with his fellow Troopers later. For the moment, this nicely attractive female would be the focus of his conversation and attentions. A good break and distraction from the day to day grind he had been in of late with his squad's high op-tempo.
