Noventa - A Star Wars Story

"You too." He called after, her, offering her a small wave as he placed the number away.

"Let's hope so. Anyways, hope to hear from you about good stuff, not bad. Otherwise, take care of yourself Kai."

She gave him one last fingertip wave before disappearing off towards the GNN building.

"Sure." His lips spread in a wide smile. "I'd feel bad if I didn't." Reporter's needed a good amount of viewers after all.

"I suppose I can understand the idea of wanting to be a little lazy, I can get the same way with my workouts. It can get tedious?" That was the word right?

As the number was passed his way, he fooled it and placed it in his pocket. "I'll remember that, and I will. Though I dont think it will be much of a problem."

"You're going to be watching? Oh my; I'll have to make sure I look my best then."

A warm smile, "Not that I don't always, but there is that temptation to be a little lazy sometimes... thanks to how small of an audience there can be on occasion, or just not having a face to the anonymous watchers."

She gave a small sigh, "Anyways, I suppose I should more say that I'll try to make sure the content is interesting; That's more the kind of thing I want to care about anyways. So if I do something boring, feel free to call me and tell me so."

Tew had been pulling out a piece of paper and a pen as she talked, and she held out a communicator address over to Kai as she finished.

"Probably for the best, Miss Tewzada." He agreed with a smile.

"It was nice getting to know you, and I'll look forward to spotting some of your stories sometime soon. It'll be a first for me watching a news program when I've met the woman in front of the camera." It wasn't something that happened everyday after all.

"Mmm! I used to hides things in the ceiling back home myself, above my bunk. So there's some wisdom there."

She smiled and looked around as they exited the farmer's market section of the shopping arcade, "Well... I suppose I should go back to my apartment and make sure I'm all packed and such. And make sure my droid hasn't gotten itself into any trouble. It has a... quirky order protocol unit."

"It would make sense." Kai offered after a moment. "The best places to hide things are in places people wouldn't look or dont want to look."

"Like how people never want to climb into a attic."

A light chuckle, "You're right; That doesn't sound like the most pleasant trip at all. Still, it does make me curious. I'm no egghead, so I don't think I need to know how everything works or anything like that. But the reporter in me wonders if relics or smuggling rings or such hidden in such out of the way places, you know?"

"Probably..." Kai mused, arriving at a stall selling fresh bread. "Can't say I'd want to go look either though. Something about all that building on top of it makes me think they would be less then pleasant "

"Not sure I'd even want to see a rust colored ocean." It sounded somewhat depressing.

A small nod, Tew's lekku bobbing slightly, "Yeah. Just a lot of concrete, metal, pipes, and glass. No forests, no mountains, no seas."

A thoughtful pause, "...though I suppose a city-world can have mountains and seas somewhere under all the buildings? Never had a reason or desire to go lower than the slums into the undercity, really."

"They arent completely bad, that is if you have the right company." Kai replied with a half smile. "Well some of them at least. The one here is a nasty piece of work, and you're likely to be hunted if you step foot into it."

"Think I'll try the mountains next if I want to go someplace a bit more scenic." He looked around, finding a stall of interest and walking towards it. "Not many forests where you are from, though?"

"Not a big fan of forests really, anyways. I mean, don't get me wrong; They can be pretty to look at and all, but actually being in them is kinda underwhelming once you get over that. And then there's all the bugs and poisonous plants and thorns and whatever. Not my thing, I think. Not that there were really any forests back where I grew up, at all."

"That is disappointing." Kair agreed with a half smile. "You;d think at the very least there would be a swimming pool in a fancy hotel or something, but I haven't even been able to find one of those." Not that he would likely pay to stay the night in one regardless. "Only thing they really have of note around here seems to be mountains and forest, and I'd strongly suggest you don't visit the forest."

That got a chuckle, "Oh come now, it's not so bad out here; Some pleasant nature, slower pace, fresh food... I suppose it's more the sort of thing I think of for vacation rather than work, sure. Though I'm disappointed about the lack of beaches anywhere even close to the capital here~ Packed my swimsuit and everything."

He didnt take long, not seeming to want to make the lady wait. At least not wait too long. "I imagine that would be nice." Kai mused as he packed up his new purchases.

"I suppose that's something to look forward to in the future though. Getting to pick your assignments, maybe even a kid planets like this altogether?"

"Different kinds of things really. I mean, I've met a few athletes and actors and politicians in the year I've been a reporter so far. But you need all sorts of stories to fill in a news cast, unfortunately. I wish I had the clout to choose my assignments, really."

She waited patiently with her hands behind her back, watching him choose veggies.

"Nothing like fresh veggies." Kai explained as he shot a smile at the Twi'lek woman. His own shopping list was a bit bigger then hers., sharing was carign after all.

"But I suppose that makes sense, when you stop to think of it." He mused selecting a few different vegetables as he spoke. "Have you got to meet a lot of celebrities over your career? Or do you usually do different kinds of pieces?" A brief pause. "If I'm not prying too much."

"That's what these person pieces are for really, cause a lot of people want to know that same thing. People like knowing that racers and stars and heroes all have struggles and quirks like the rest of us, in addition to learning what makes them tick."

Tew paused when Kai did; She had enough snacks, even if the veggies were kinda tempting.

"I suppose that depends on who you ask really." Kai said after a moment. "It's likely really important to a pod racing enthusiast. Others? Probably less so" He paused into another stall that looked to be selling various forms of veggies. "I still think it's pretty neat though. I've never really ever met a Champion pod-racer. "

There was a thoughtful pause. "Makes me wonder if they are like most other people."

A light chuckle, "No no... I have everything scheduled out; The shuttle doesn't leave for another hour and a half. That's why I'm getting snacks, remember? Still, I don't know that it's anything particularly important; I'm off to interview some pod racer that's having a winning streak down south here. Causing a bit of a stir in the local racing community. So I'm not sure how big time that is."
