Noventa - A Star Wars Story

A chuckle.

"I think the only prestigious thing about GNN might be how low some of the reporters will go to get a scoop on a holonet star. There's certainly those I've worked with who do nothing to try to fix the reputation of paparazzi in the slightest. Myself? Not my thing.Thus finding myself in the outer rim here."

So long as I'm not in any reports, at least...

She took her goggles off, and rolled her eyes in typical teen fashion, but then did a 180 with a smile.

"The *prestigious* galaxy nuze network? Is the prestigious part of the name because that sounds a little presumptious if it is."

Kor stepped up behind Tew and clapped her on the back "Tew you're too much, but yes Quinn she's a reporter for the prestigious Galaxy Nuze Network but she's cool." He said while giving Quinn a look trying to communicate that it was ok.

Thankfully, her goggles prevented anyone from seeing her eyes widening as the woman did her thing. She could not however, prevent her mouth from gaping a little.

"...Uh, you're a reporter?"

Oh shit.

Maybe a bit ridiculous, but that meant maybe she could have some fun with it, "Oh, a bodyguard? How exciting! Perhaps a princess in exile? Oo, or maybe you're secretly a Sith? Or a witness in a trial and you have assassins after you? Maybe the script writer for episode nine, and you couldn't take the pressure and fanboys anymore?"

Her grin faded into faux seriousness, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to tell me, despite being a reporter. I respect Korvalus too much to blow your cover."

"He's my bodyguard," she said; which sounded just a tad ridiculous, much as she intended it to.

Kor shook his head "afraid not, just a travelling companion. We help eachother out and watch eachother's backs." Kor wasn't going to talk too much about the situation with Quinn but he still tended more toward truthfulness mainly because he didn't have the tongue for lying.

That really got the engines turning, "Adopted, perhaps? I only ask because I was raised in an orphanage, so it would be nice to hear a... well, success story I suppose."

Kor noticed the look and thought it a little odd but perhaps Quinn had something to say she didn't want to in front of a stranger.

"Yeah Quinn and I have been travelling together for some time now. Just settled here on Noventa a couple months back."

"Oh uhm... I'm Quinn," she gave a wave upon hearing that question, still wearing the goggles; which probably made her look a little silly.

"Thanks Kor."

Tew gave another smile before the big guy turned back to the girl tinkering at the table somewhat near by. Her thoughts turned back to her earlier musings, and this time she just couldn't help herself. Leaning on the table, chin in her hands and still smiling slightly, "By the way, were you going to introduce me to your handy little friend there?"

"Uhm, I think I'm gonna do some sightseeing."

Her eyes darted briefly toward Tew, before placing the goggles on her head as a way of diverting attention. She once more flipped them on.

"Hey, that did it. Awesome."

Kor emerged from the kitchen "ah interesting, forgot about the podracing that happens down there. Been once I think but never made a habit of it. Sounds like a decent story though." He approached her table "chefs back there should have something whipped up for you in no time."

He then looked to Quinn "so what do you have going on today besides fixing those goggles?"

Though he was still in ear shot, Tew still spoke up so Kor wouldn't need to strain to hear her, "Pod-racing, or so I've been told. Something about a big racing series going down and some Nautolan being a local prodigy."

Quinn suddenly had a keen interest in the conversation, once she heard 'southern hemisphere'. Though she tried not to let it show. Instead, while listening in, she started rearranging stuff on her table. Specifically, she was folding up her map and putting it away.

Kor raised an eyebrow "what's going on down in the southern hemisphere? I thought there wasn't much down there?" He asked before heading back towards the kitchen which wasn't out of ear shot so he could listen to her reply.

A chuckle, "Filling greasy food for drunks sounds like just the sort of thing for a slightly blustery morning like this. Especially since I'll be flying out to the southern hemisphere later; So something filling besides flight food would be good before I go."

Kor walked by Quinn slightly ruffling her hair as he moved past her "Well keep at it, those are pretty valuable equipment."

Turning to Tew he slung his small towel over his shoulders "um I'm not sure if the cook is in yet, I'll go check in a second. We don't get too many for breakfast usually late lunches and a few dinners but mostly just drunks wanting to settle their stomachs." He said with a small smile on his lips. His tone was lighter than usual as well. Kor was always a little happier after working out.

Looking up to Kor as he addressed her, Tewzada gave a bright smile, despite the tiredness, "That's right. And you were Kor; I don't think I need to even ask that much. My memory is pretty good for names."

She glanced at Quinn; Kor seemed to know her, so apparently having a kid in here fixing things must not be an unusual sight. She thought a second about asking if they were related, when she quickly remember the man saying he'd never had any kids.

"I hope I'm at the right place for breakfast?"

"Just about," she called back, just a second or two before she put the goggles on, flipped the switch and looked about.

"Ah! Bright light! Bright light!" And she quickly flipped it off again, once more taking it off for some tweaks.
