The Lusty Lekku: Room Six

[Lilith (8th TL)]

It wasn't the nicest day on Nar Shadda; the sound of ceaseless rain could be heard thundering against the walls of the Lusty Lekku even through the music and loud chatter of it's occupants. Luckily, this bad weather did nothing to the locals appetite for entertainment. In fact, tonight was one of the busiest that the Lusty Lekku had seen in some time.

Cait was happily greeting one of her regulars, who was seemly eyeing up her new red dress that complimented her curves, when a scruffy looking man wearing a hoodie barged between them. "Mess in...the..." he mumbled, barely making any sense.

The young madam tipped her head, raising a crimson eyebrow. "Uh, I'm sorry sir, can you repeat that?"

He fidgeted somewhat, both hands inside the pouch on the front of his black sweater. She couldn't see his eyes under the hood, but she knew he was human, at least, and male obviously. Probably on spice from the sketchy way he was acting.

"Uhh?" she prompted him again, feeling a bit wary about the way he was acting.

He looked away and mumbled again, but clearly this time, "There's a mess in room 6." As soon as he finished talking, he walked away briskly and headed towards the main exist.

Cait blinked a few times, worried about what type of "mess" this man left in room six. "Ti? Ti where are you?" the young owner looked around, hoping to catch glance of Ti’ame so she could send the girl upstairs, but there was no such luck. She did, however, catch a glance of one of the regular street girls that came in to make some credits, and spoke to her instead, "Can you find Ti’ame and send her to room 6? Apparently there's some sort of mess. I'm heading up that way myself."

The street girl nodded and went off at the same time as Cait started to make her way upstairs to room six.

[Ti'ame]

Staring into the bathroom mirror of the Lekku girl's room, Ti'ame carefully reapplied her mascara. The black makeup went on quickly with little flicks of her hand, though she narrowly avoided poking herself in the eye with the brush as her hand shook slightly. The night was still early and the thunderous drum of rain pouring down on the Lusty Lekku was almost deafening upstairs without the dance music that permeated the main floor. Usually she didn't have to "work" so early in the night, but Cait had spotted a Rodian making eyes at Ti'ame, and sensing an early opportunity had sent the girl to entertain the man.

That had been almost an hour ago, and truthfully Ti’ame should have been back downstairs working. But sometimes a girl needed a moment to clean up and gather herself. And definitely not cry, no way Ti had ruined her makeup crying. Taking a deep breath, she examined her face in the mirror for streaks or smudges. Spotting none, she put her dress back on. Well it was actually Cait's dress, all her clothes were really Cait's. And of course it just had to be pink. Cait always seemed to pick pink.0

Stepping back out of the room and into the hallway, Ti'ame was about to head back downstairs when she spotted a familiar mane of red hair cresting the stairs. "Oh! Uhh hi Mistress Cait... I swear I was just coming down... is something wrong?" At first thinking she was in trouble, Ti'ame quickly realized the look on Cait's face wasnt one of anger, at least not yet.

"There you are Ti Ti," Cait cooed, a soft smile warming her face as her eye's lit up at the sight. She wouldn't have to deal with whatever had been left in that room, thank the Force. At least, not entirely. The worst part of this all was she didn't know what the mess was; it could be anything from a fresh pile of poodoo, to a burning hole in the wall.

Reaching out, she went to grab Ti's hand and curl her fingers between them. But, that was when Cait noticed the puffiness under Ti's eyes, which made her pause in surprise. Ti had been crying, that was clear as a bell. Cait's brows furrowed and she brought her free hand up to the girl's cheek, brushing it across her soft skin. "Wait-what happened?"

It was so rare to see Ti crying that it took Cait aback, that or, Cait was so busy with the business, the girls and plotting towards her own goals that she had rarely noticed it. But after the loss of her mother in this galaxy...this galaxy filled with darkness, Sith and criminals, the only people Cait legitimately cared about was her girls.

Her girls.

And if someone hurt them? They would die. The young Sith felt the dark side suddenly pool within her and her eyes flashed yellow, but so quickly that if someone blinked they might not catch it. Her hand around Ti's tightened somewhat in the burst of anger, and a frown took over her countenance. "Did someone hurt you?" Cait hissed, "Do I need to kill them?"
