Damn cantinas… Zad thought as he turned his glass on the countertop. They were so cliche. Looking for a story? Head to a cantina. Grabbing for an adventure? Go to a cantina. Itching for mystery? Here’s your cantina. Scratching for mischief? There’s your cantina.
Still, The Rusty Nail was the kind of establishment that Zad Ruzed went to when he needed to clear his mind with some amber whiskey that would in turn open his thoughts to some shrouded mystery of that which he had brought with him.
He dared not lay it upon the counter as he stared at the bar with a glass of whiskey before his person. The ‘object’ was far too out of the ordinary to randomly expose it. Many of the patrons and attendants in this Mos Eisley cantina would not take kindly to seeing it or the man who was sporting it.
So the man kept it concealed in his coat. No one would see it. Only a certain someone with a certain sense focused enough on finding it would notice it. That seemed unlikely in a random bar on Tatooine.
“That what I think it is?” The Bothan bartender nodded toward his patron while cleaning a glass.
“Uhhh…” Zad blinked. Apparently the ‘something’ was not as hidden as he hoped it had been. He nonchalantly tucked that side of his jacket over his person. “...Don’t mention it.” The words came with a rather modest tip of credit chips that was actually rather above average. The bartender smirked and moved on.
Hell, the last thing this Ranger needed was someone seeing the ‘something’ he had tucked away behind his jacket. It had taken a run-in with a Blackwell technician and a brush-up with a P1-D3S droid to keep it. He just needed to figure out how to find out who the shiny silver hilt belonged to...
