Now that had been cheating. Force persuasion to win the boy and kittens, Tenel Ka had never been as proud of her husband as she was right now. When he won, her danger sense told her of the gun before it found its way pointed at them, It didn't phase the Hapan. Bullets could be stopped.
The Kailiff didn't answer, of course it was on his mind. Tenel Ka pushed caring little about the comfort of the demon. Back room, there was another room hidden in the wall of the back room and the boy was hidden there, given only the basics to live on. Treated as well as any collatteral was. But he was about to be freed. Because just as she knew, now so did Jacen.
"Go ahead darling, I'll stay and chat with our new friends, and keep an eye on the kittens. Of which you may keep one."
Her lips curled into a thin smile, her hand resting near but not yet on, her lightsaber. She was a faster draw than any of them even one armed, and she knew it.
"So.." she began "Kidnapping. I don't know if you know this, I suspect you don't since none of you appear telepathic but I really do hate kidnappers. Its not so much your reasons as I'm sure you have committments, its the act itself, its lazy. And really, its just uncivillised. And then we have to fight and limbs are lost in the fighting and generally its unpleasent. So ideally you will wait until my husband returns with the boy and collects the rest of what he's won here tonight"
The Kaliff fired and Tenel Ka's turquise rancor hilted blade sprang to life disintergrating the bullet on contact.
"Or, you could be fools." she sighed and lept into the fray.
