A series of beeps and chirps uttered behind the Mon Calamari. She didn’t bother to look behind knowing it was her droid companion. “I’m okay Ness thanks for asking. Just keep an optic out for anything of interest.” The green astromech acknowledged with a click rolling to the left side of the stall.
While disassembling the device she had on the table Chant’s mind drifted back to how she ended up here in the first place. The memory of losing her ship on Alaris Prime caused Chant to scowl. Despite her best attempts to avoid trouble it always seems to hunt her down.
With my luck a rancor will be rampaging through here any second. The flier thought sacrastly. Meters away, a pair of Jawas walking on the trail noted Ness staying guard over her comrade’s makeshift stall. Muttering to themselves they pretended to go on.
Making a left turn the Jawa duo crouched, stealthily approaching Ness’s flank. Just when they were within reach the astromech twisted her dome head in their direction and let out an alert. Alarmed Chant looked up and immediately saw the would-be thieves. Enraged she drew her blaster pistol and fired. The laser shot struck the dust in front of the Jawas who squealed before fleeing in terror.
“Keep away from her!”
Chant shouted and fired a second shot behind the pair who ran even faster than before. The nearby shopkeepers and locals watched the scene unfold, some shrugged their shoulders in indifference while others chuckled with amusement at the before going to business like nothing happened.
“Overgrown womp rats.” Chant whispered before Ness expressed her gratitude in droidspeak. “What are friends for?” She replied with a grin despite their current predicament.
