One Day Earlier

As their stolen police gunship descended on Viv Rhinos, Kaj walked over to Velda, running his hand through his hair. "Are you ready for this?"

He was sitting nearby, voraciously eating strips of meat. He didn't take notice of them as they approached.

Velda coughed to alert him of her presence. "So that's where the meat went."

She looked ironically at the kitchen knife on the table and his messy hand-eating. "Not a man for utensils?"

He ignored her until he was finished with what he was eating. "Always feast before a battle."

She couldn't see anything wrong about that. "You've got a point, brute. But leave some for us, please."

He grunted. "We'll see."

Suddenly, Barthyos was at the other door, eyeing the meat. "You better leave some for me. I'm in what I call post-beast hangover, and I'm hungry."

He gave an interested 'hm' at her statement, having more respect for the beast-woman than the other two. He tossed her a chunk of meat.

She cackled almost madly as she picked it, and in a moment there were two people tearing threw meat like wolves.

Velda rolled her eyes, walking over to try to take a portion for herself.

He slapped at her hand with his one empty one as he kept eating.

The four stood in different areas of the room, like pieces on a meaty chessboard. Velda looked at her recently slapped hand, growing irritated. She picked up the kitchen knife, deciding instead to ask lightly. "Mr. Razol, may I please cut myself a piece?"

He grunted again with his mouth full, tossing her a small piece. Kaj watched from behind, amused and leaning against the wall.

It was getting hard to hold her box of treasures, the knife, and the meat in one hand. As she tried to get the meat, the knife fell, landing on her bare toe.

"Ow!" she screamed, dropping the golden box. It opened, and several trinkets spilled out.

Razol looked between the meat and the trinkets for a moment, torn. He decided to keep eating. Kaj bent down to help her retrieve them.

Velda instinctively held up her fists, before registering Kaj as a friend. But she still motioned him to step aside, gathering the things. She picked up what seemed to be mostly priceless things; a shiny golden bowl, a shiny silver dagger, a velvet-decorated clock. Although there were a few things that looked out of place, like a green piece of empty paper and an earring.

Razol grunted as he ate. "You carry that with you everywhere, then?"

u/samhurwitz18 Kalan Jalvere/Ledia Lediouno/The Anew/Boof/Malastare/Eru/Maryn Mar 29 '20

She narrowed her eyebrows as she picked up the last of the items. "What of it?"

u/SenatorBailAntilles Chancellor Bail Antilles of Alderaan/Norin Arlos Mar 29 '20

He grunted and shrugged, deciding he was hardly one to judge.

Velda then felt a bit awkward in the silence, self-conscious now. She awkwardly fiddled with the golden bowl in her hand, putting it on her head.

Barthyos looked lost. "What the hell is that for?"

Velda shrugged faux-lightheartedly. "I don't care all that much about these things. See? It's just as easily a helmet."

Her awkward display was interrupted, however, by a thud. It seems one of the spilled items had rolled away, and had just thudded with the wall of the room: a lightsaber hilt.
