"Try again."
"Are you serious?!"
Qailan didn't get it. She simply did not get it. She was a Bogan, a refined warrior, a force to be reckoned with, yet she could not throw a dart if her life depended on it. She aimed and threw it again, her pride keeping her from applying the Force. Once again, she missed the balloon. The man at the stand coughed to hold back his laugh, earning a scowl. He quickly looked down, terrified of her gleaming yellow eyes.
She had gotten over the initial shock of having been dragged to an amusement park by Adrian. When he first presented the idea to her, she simply laughed, only to be met with a completely serious face. She absentmindedly followed him, her mind still thinking back to his meeting with his cousin. Qailan knew this Alcor Bac meant a lot more to Adrian than he had led her on to believe. However, she did not ask any questions, quietly remaining in the background. She was secretly thankful that Adrian did not remain on Alderaan for long, choosing to go to another planet. Qailan had already begun feeling as if she were treading on family territory.
When Adrian presented Zeltron as the planet of choice, Qailan had to do a double take. She had only heard stories about that planet, most of them about the women and clubbing. It did not strike her as the kind of scene Adrian would fit in. However, he pointed out that it was also home to some of the largest amusement parks, which brought them here today. She was initially reluctant to go in, considering the idea of it rather childish. However, she soon came to realize that some of the activities were..
"Damn challenging. This game is rigged."
She flatly commented on it. The man rolled his eyes.
"Lady, why don't you try a different game?"
Qailan bit back a retort, glancing up at the prizes that she had been attempting to win. It wasn't even about the prizes, it was about failing at something repeatedly, something that did not sit well with her. Finally, she had thrown her last dart, sighing. As the man began to reiterate his usual sympathies at her loss, Qailan quickly looked at him. Her mind wove into his thoughts, twisting, twirling, prodding. Soon, his eyes were glazed over. Satisfied, Qailan spoke in a low voice.
"I have successfully won the stuffed rancor."
"You have successfully won the stuffed rancor."
"You will hand it to me now."
"I will hand it to you now."
And he did. Moments later, Qailan was by Adrian's side, a gigantic stuffed rancor toy in her arms. She had a satisfied grin on her face, though had no intention of revealing exactly how she had obtained her prize.
