Tatooine, Ancorhead. Abandoned abode. Local time: 11:11
There had been quite some time since Hask had, once again, left on the Hellion for a mission. Apparently, it was too dangerous or something of the like for her to come along on and as a result, she remained on Tatooine, a planet which the two had visited several times already. The girl was somewhat concerned about her friend - she had lost the Hellion's long range signals and hadn't heard from the Sith in a little longer than what was expected. Nevertheless, time hadn't gone to waste while he was away.
Whether it was by sheer luck or a thief's instinct, the young woman had found an abandoned abode which contained a badly damaged H4 unit along with multiple blaster marks littering the walls inside the building. Instead of spending the days thieving and doing odd little tasks, she put much effort into getting the droid back to pristine condition and making sure that it would be loyal to her and not the former master whom must have abandoned it. Before loosing contact with Hask, she had been able to inform him of the abode's location.
It had not been long since H4 had begun speaking. Aurelie's use of proverbs and such didn't seem to work all too well with the droid's tendency to interpret things literally, and had already created a few rather awkward situations. Beginning right after she finished her repairs on him. "Common, let's get you cleaned up, Scrappy" she chirped lightheartedly whilst walking towards the side of the room where she kept a bucket of water, some soap and a towel. "Scrappy? Mistress, I am an H4 series battle droid of fine design. I am not, scrappy." he stated with a hint of indignation in the tone, barely noticeable to the girl who had just gotten to know him. She picked up the cleaning equipment and turned to walk back to him with slightly raised eyebrows. "Well, your fine design was just reassembled by me - if you weren't scrappy before, you definitely are now." she countered with a sly grin. The droid just stood there looking at her while processing her behaviour.
"Tell me if I miss a spot, alright?" she asked as she knelt down to clean H4 from bottom to top. "Yes, mistress" the response was cold, hard, just like one would expect from a droid. It didn't take long until it spoke again "You missed a spot, there" it said with a pointed finger, momentarily releasing its rifle. "What? That's nothing!" she responded, thinking that she had been more than thorough enough and that the spot was of the most minuscule magnitude. "You did instruct me to tell you if you missed a spot." he mused, already having picked up a little of her behaviour. She gave him an annoyed stare with a cocked eyebrow, which didn't receive any kind of response from the droid whatsoever. "Alright then, Scrappy." she said, wondering what she'd gotten herself into as she redoubled her efforts. He looked down at her for a few moments as she called him 'Scrappy' again before returning his gaze straight to his front.
After a while, she reached his top, leaving the lower parts of the battle droid sparkling clean. "H4, can you lower yourself a little? I can't clean your head properly if you stand upright. Just make sure to keep an eye on the door. We don't want what happened to you the first time to happen again, do we?" she said making the droid bend down, allowing her to clean his top too.
If anyone would enter the room, H4 would quickly push Aurelie to the ground beside him and immediately point his blaster rifle towards the new guest.
