Arok had never been to Mandalore before. He had never had to do so. Dominated by a warrior culture of late, the planet had spawned iron-clad militias that seemed hell-bent on causing trouble for the more discerning members of the galactic community. It was not a world upon which the Hutt Clan had done much business; its people had yet to learn how to engage with their betters correctly.

For that reason, Arok had advised his compatriots for this endeavour to be a little less Hutt.

Following his own advice, Arok arrived in a less overstated litter than usual. Born on a more traditional litter, carried by a team of eight muscle bound Gamorreans, two on each 'spoke' of the transportation, Arok was concealed behind sheets of gossamer thin silk, bright blue in colouration. He lay on the litter smoking his hookah, smarting at the pauper-like fashion in which he was made to transport himself.

<Wa citkiuet gahhamkee biy heee kouuahh datka.> came his lamentation from within the litter, passing unnoticed by all save those closest to him. Such was his humility that the Hutt scion had even forgone the battalion of guards he would normally have trouncing after him, leaving such matters to the guard his father had sent with them - some Deacalian he had not caught the name of.

His security, and that of his cousin, Skelgok, was in her hands and the hands of those of her kind she had brought along with them.

He took another long puff on his pipe as the litter made its way down the road on the upper levels of the Mandalorian capital. Generously, Arok waved at the civilians who looked up - undoubtedly in awe of his majesty and grace. <Pacmokenu planeeto, doth tee fa Skelgok? Um tee ban fa baa boyeke, nobata? Doth Jee tee saptkhe bai banag bai wanba ba amahola wata?> Arok called out to the other Hutt, as the troupe made their merry way down the long road toward their destination, a recently closed dock the Hutts where looking to acquire.

Ivarr grimaced beneath her Kougine Lohba helmet. The armor had been designed by her, a stronger and more mobile version of the original suits worn by her clan during raids. She had never been to Mandalore either, but the fact that these spineless cowards held an entire world while her people scraped out a living in the farthest reaches of space disgusted her. Hoisting her bowcaster over her shoulder, she glanced up at the Hutt as he lamented the world they currently walked on.

Shrugging, she spoke back to him in her thick accent, "They will get what is coming to them, in time." Before continuing to walk. her eyes were up, scanning the crowds around them for threats until the crowds started to melt away in their approaching destination. Ivarr was happy with that, the stares of the 'Mandalorians' at her strange armor were not welcome. It was not her fault they gave up their strength for peace.

Honestly, Ivarr hoped something bad would happen during this meeting. She had a bowcaster in her hands, two swords on her back, and two blasters at her hips. She wanted something to kill, a little blood to spill to take the edge off. Life wasn't worth living if she couldn't be killing, that was her opinion.

Skelgok grumbled to himself, not entirely sure why they had to leave the safety of Hutt space to conduct this business, surely they would come groveling for the chance to work with the finest Hutts in the galaxy. In any case, Arok had offered an opportunity and the older Hutt wouldn't pass it up, not in the least the credits but also the risk of falling behind in the grand race to the top of their world.

Sliding a small knapsack around his vast neck, inside it were many delightful goodies, snacks and such things to make the trip more fun.

<"The air is too moist and tastes funny, why anyone would want to live here is beyond me. We could establish a profitable establishment here, this is true.">

He didn't know the small woman protecting them, but she came recommended anyways. Skelgok wouldn't rely on her to save his life if it came to it, as she hadn't sworn fealty to himself, but if she tried to betray them he'd have an ace up his sleeve anyways.

Skelgok was quite correct. Mandalore was an arid planet with a brutish and uncultured populace. Many locals were more interested in killing one another than in doing anything productive on behalf of their betters. Arok wondered if his father had lost his grip on sanity by suggesting they expend effort and resources on doing work here.

Yet, when the Clan moved, it moved. <La doth wa nohcase- kloonkee camai wata, um Dobra gahke da tokiy caiot doth boyeke bai bahia bu Lanka, bo heee mo andoba.> the Hutt scion commented, as slowly the team meandered their way to the end of the road, where a large elevator stood. Boarding it, they headed down in short order before arriving at another level, dominated by a cantina, which served local miners heading off to work on the nearby shuttles.

<Ateema da ye wanya bacaka wa lumpa jeejee caiot woy yanee, nobata?> the Hutt thought out loud, even as a collection of thugs began to exit a shuttle, and move to surround them. One of their numbers stepped forward, a Twi'lek dressed in black, a blaster held lazily in his hand.

"Well, well, well." he spat on the floor "Look whose come all the way from Hutt space?" he sneered, as his men produced their weapons, making it clear that this was their level.

Ivarr's bowcaster had been leveled at the Twi'lek the moment he exited the shuttle. She did not speak, it was not her place to negotiate at this time, it was her place to kill these bastards if they stepped one foot out of line. What no one knew, except Ivarr, is that she had snuck a few 'insurances' in with her belongs on this mission. Three thermal detonators were clipped beneath her Deucalian skirt, well hidden but within easy reach.

It didn't matter if they were outnumbered or outgunned, Ivarr could see to it that no one on the other side of her throwing arm was walking away alive. Looking to Skelgog, she waited for the Hutt to respond. She had thought about using Mandalorians, and she had thoughts about how there weren't ethnic Mandos here to greet them. But for now, Ivarr would keep those thoughts to herself.

The Hutts could handle this, so long as blasters weren't being fired.

The pair of Hutts easily towered over the tiny Twi'lek on his own, but with a group of them, it seemed a little risky to start a fight in the open. He also didn't doubt Ivarr's eagerness to start one either, taking into consideration the little he knew of her.

At the very least Skelgok would try to negotiate with the savages, offer a little incentive here or there, and then perhaps they'd be more willing to do business with the Hutts. Despite appearances or prejudices, he often found people were usually willing to put things aside when it came time to make some credits.

<Hello. We seek an audience with the owner of this fine establishment to discuss a business proposal, should you be interested?>

Of course, if they weren't interested, they could just as easily ask the next one down the road or worse, blow theirs up and ruin them if they displeased the Hutts.
