T was very light though Nichos kept that to himself. Never comment on a woman's weight mistakes like that cost Nichos' a couple of teeth in the past. Still, he did enjoy carrying T around but that's probably because she was patting his chest softly. "Now THAT'S something to keep an eye on T." Nichos said. "Let's just say I rather do more than win for you."​

​

The Bounty Hunter winked holding her close as they entered the Casino. It was small and not as glamorous as the other casinos in Nar Shaadda in fact it was the opposite. Worn down and rickety with the only form of entertainment was a bad comic. He was so bad that Nichos almost considered shooting him once or maybe twice but that damn comic pissed him off.

​

"Here we are T!" Nichos said still carrying her. "Let's get some credits rolling!"​

The casino the Nichos had chosen was not the glitz and glamor spots that Tate was used to gambling in. Not because she was some uppity Richie rich, but because her usual gambling trips were accompanied by work. That meant some wining and dining.

Tate was not above this place, and as she took in the sights she saw all the normal games of chance and not as big crowds as the higher end spots probably had. She wished that maybe there was a music act instead of the comic performing. But that could be drowned out easily by the sound of gambling and the flow of drinks.

Tate pointed to a pazaak table that had two other players at it already, a male Omwati and his sparsely dressed human female partner. "They seem to be struggling," Tate said, pointing out the lack of chips each held. "What do you say we see if we can't turn the luck of that table around?"

Nichos placed T down placing his hands inside of his pocket. "It may not be pretty," he whispered in her ear. "But I know how it runs." Nichos saw the couple waiting for other people to play a game of Pizak. "Let's go join them." Nichos whispered. "I see that little glint in your eye sweetheart." The Bounty Hunter waltzed towards the table seeing a young Rodian preparing the cards. "Hey Zee," Nichos said sitting down next to the table. "Long time no talk."​

​

"Nichos!" Zee said in Hutsee. "Been a while as well, you come for some gambling?"​

​

"Of course! Me and the lady!" Nichos smiled. "Deal us in!"​

​

He turned his gaze towards the Omwatti who glared at him. "What's up bony?" He chuckled. "Here's to a good game!"​

The Omwati scoffed, "Another typical human."

"Hey!" the woman with him complained.

"Like you'd be here if I wasn't giving you the credits to play," the Omwati countered. His companion didn't seem fit to argue that point.

<"Relax friend,"> Tate responded in Omwati. Her homeworld was not far from Omwat and she worked with several Omwati engineers. <"We are here to help change your luck. Just sit back and enjoy the change.">

Tate smiled to the Rodian and took a seat next to Nichos leaning across she put a hand on the bounty hunter's cheek so that he would look at her. She kissed him passionately and pulled back with a smile on her face. "For luck," she then turned to the Rodian. "Let's play cards."

​

Nichos chuckled when T attempted to calm down rich looking Omwati. He knew some of their language as he did some contracts for the species before. "I do like a brainy brunette," Nichos said while the Omwati glared at the two of them. Before Nichos knew it, T turned his head around and kissed him passionately. Nichos rose his eyes shock but quickly gave into the soft kiss.​

​

"Strawberries," Nichos chuckled rubbing his lips. "Lipstick is pretty good. Don't need luck because I got skill.:​

​

"Sure you do," Zee said beginning to deal the cards. He was fully aware that Nichos often rigged games in his favor in this Casino. Considering that Nichos was friends with the owners, they often looked the other way.​

​

"Time to put down some big money!" Nichos said slapping some credits onto the table.​

Tate had asked for a thousand credits worth of chips. It was excessive but she liked to have a large pile of chips to give the appearance that she was winning. She didn't deal with physical credits however. Raising her arm she pushed a couple buttons on what looked like a simple bracelet. Zee looked at his station's readout and nodded, handing over playing chips to Tate and Nichos.

The Rodian looked for initial bids and then dealt out the cards. The Omwati looked at his cards then at Nichos and then back to the table he placed a raising bid added a card from his side deck and stood. His date could hardly contain her excitement at her cards and also stood. Tate looked at her cards then looked to Nichos she had a twenty right off the bat. Something told her that this game was going to be less challenging than most.

"If these are the kind of cards a kiss brings you will be getting a lot of kisses," Tate hummed to Nichos. "Though I will warn that our private games won't be quite as easy for you. I am much hard to rig. You will need actual skill.” The last part was whispered in to his ear so as not to let the others in the area know what was going on.

​

Nichos looked over his hand while peering at Omwati who was still glaring at him. The cards weren't too bad but it could mean he could be eliminated early. Cautiously, Nichos placed 500 credits on the table while T whispered in his ear. "I was hoping for more than just kisses sweetheart," Nichos whispered chuckling. "I prefer a good challenge it makes conquering you all the more satisfying."​

​

Zee gathered the bets while placed cards onto the table. "Well what do you know?" Nichos said revealing his hand. "I'm matching!"​

"Oh you will find a challenge in me for sure," Tate responded with a wink. As she crossed her legs she ran her foot along his calf. "Though I can promise it will be worth it in the end. I am guessing we are both looking forward to the same end of this night."

The first hand was a tie between Nichos and Tate. The Omwati and his date defeated the dealer for a small return on their bets but not nearly the wins of Tate and Nichos. Over the next five hands either Tate, Nichos or both would take the majority of the pots and always taking more than they had bet. The Omwati had diminishing returns as the game went along. His date doing only slightly better.

The Omwati's stack of chips was down low enough that he had his fill of the game. He stood and looked around for his next stop in the casino. Tate gave a laugh as she looked at the Omwati. "Looks like you found the wrong backer." She looked the girl up and down. "You're pretty enough maybe my friend would be willing to front you a few credits to keep you at the table. Not sure what the cost might be though."

The scantly dressed human woman looked at the Omwati and the Nichos. "I would like to stay I think. If you can help and I promise that it will be worth it. Just like your friend says."

"It's our night tonight sweetheart!" Nichos said grinning from ear to ear with the constant winnings. "You and I will be celebrating tonight." The Bounty Hunter chuckled. He then gave the pretty woman 2,500 credits on T's suggestion. "I'm feeling generous!" Nichos said staring at T. "Come on! Bring on the next few hands!"​

​

While Zee continued to deal, Nichos leaned towards T. "So, what other games do you want to play?" He whispered. "This game is a slaughterhouse and our Omwati friend is really pissed off right now."​

Tate gave a smile when Nichos plopped down a good number of chips for the pretty lady. She had no intentions on sharing the bounty hunter, not tonight at least, but it was good to know that he wasn’t going to get all prude on her and leave the pretty girl at the mercy of the angry Omwati. The next few hands went predictably in Tate and Nichos’ favor and they had more chips than Tate knew what to do with in such a small establishment.

When Nichos whispered that he felt a change of games was in order Tate smiled and pulled all of her chips in front of her and started to stack them up. She slid a stack of credits in front of the woman who Nichos had staked for the last few rounds of play. “Thousand credits for your contact information.” Tate offered with a smile. “This night is a solo mission. But you’re a pretty girl. Never know what the future will bring.” The woman didn’t take very long considering the offer. She slid a red card containing contact information and took the stack of chips standing up and looking for a new table. “Looks like she doesn’t think you’ll be lucky Zee.” Tate said with a smile as she slid a nice tip to the dealer.

“What to play next?” she questioned as she leaned over and gave Nichos’ neck a kiss. “Let’s truly gamble. I sit down at the table closest to the closest waitress, order some drinks and play whatever game happens to be there. I’m guessing you have a way to rig all the games here, so the only true challenge will come when we’re alone.”

"Thousand credits?!" Nichos nearly laughed. "Sorry T even for a pretty girl like you, I don't work for cheap. Five thousand that's final offer." Chuckling, Nichos picked T up as soon as she kissed her. "Sure there's a lot of rigging," The Bounty Hunter whispered carrying her through the small crowd of people. "But there are some fair areas like the high stakes craps tables up north."​

​

Nichos pointed towards a couple of rich looking aliens gambling away at the table. "A lot of low level crime lords gamble at the tables." Nichos said. "Don't wanna piss them off in rigging the games."​

"Five thousand a contract huh?" Tate responded as they stood from the pazaak table. She really wasn't sure if that was an impressive amount or not. But assuming one could take on a good number of contracts in a lifetime the possibility of a good nest egg was certainly real.

Nichos pointed out the craps area would be a fair game to play and that the crime lords wouldn't appreciate that sort of behavior. It was good to see that Nichos didn't take things like that lightly. She wondered for a moment about how her new companion would stack up against the crime lords.

"Hmm," Tate considered. "Let's try the craps game first. I will give you the chance to impress me by beating up on the crime lordlings before you take me back to my hotel." She gave a bit of a giggle. "I still would like to catch a waitress to get a drink. Then I will blow on your dice for good luck."

​

"That's my minimum offer," Nichos said. "For doing chit like rescuing Cats from trees and finding that purse you've misplaced, but for you T." He leaned down and kissed her cheek chuckling. "I might have 25 percent discount for you."​

​

They approached the Craps table while Nichos gently placed her down and leaned against the table. A male Bith was running the game. "Hey Jezure!" Nichos shouted. "Put me in the game will ya! Got to show off for my girl!"​

​

He chuckled. "And speaking of my girl!" Nichos said. "Give her the strongest drink you got! She's thirsty here!"​

Five thousand for getting a cat out of a tree seemed out of line. Of course getting a cat out of a tree was probably not something one would call Nichos for. Just a demonstration of his high standards. “You flatter me,” Tate responded when he offered a discount. “But I don’t like taking discounts. Makes me think I’m getting a lower grade product. Maybe it’s just the shipwright side of me. A discount ship is not something I wish to be flying in.”

They were soon at the dice table. Tate was placed back on the ground and she took a seat. Most liked to stand at this game, but Tate wanted the opportunity to cross her legs in front of Nichos as they waited for the action to start. “You just know everyone here, don’t you stud?” Tate asked Nichos with a giggle. “As to the drink. Make it something that won’t burn off my taste buds. I’m a delicate little lady. Care more about taste than strength,” she added to the casino employee.

As the game looked like it was about to start she slid off the chair, making a good enough show of her legs, and stood leaning against Nichos. “You’re doing fine. I don’t need a strong drink to keep me by your side. Though I don’t recall becoming your girl. Gonna need to work a little harder than a dance and success at pazaak to make that happen.”

"Ohhh plain hard to get eh?" Nichos said looking over at the craps table. "Good! I love a challenge keeps me on my toes, the last I need to do is to get soft."​

​

The Bounty Hunter leaned on the table watching T showing off her legs specifically for Nichos. "I'm not a good Craps player." He said. "Show me what you can do sweetheart and I'll follow your lead."​

​

It was translation for: He couldn't rig the game enough in his favor. There was only so much pull stringing he can do.

“I wouldn’t say hard to get,” Tate responded with a wink of her eye. “More like expensive. And not meaning that you can drop a few thousand credits and I’ll be putty in your hand, like the girl at the Pazaak table. I mean you have to prove yourself. So I’m glad that you are up for a challenge.”

She looked out over the craps table and tried to remember how to play. Tate placed a large stack of chips on the table and then placed bets on the pass and come line. She looked at Jezure and nodded. “New shooter!” the casino employee yelled out.

Tate picked up the dice and shook them in one hand as she looked out over the table. She tossed the dice out. The dice tumbled across the table and both landed on a two. “Hmm. Four is a tough get,” Tate stated to herself as much as anyone paying attention. Jezure retrieved the dice and moved them to Tate. She picked them up again and shook them. This time she blew softly into her hand with the dice, watching Nichos all the time. She gave him a wink and threw the dice again. The resulting throw did not give a win or loss for Tate, so she went through the whole routine again. This time the dice came up a combined seven. Tate lost her bets and her turn on the dice.

Just then a waitress returned with a drink and Tate took hold and sipped at it. The scientist pressed herself against Nichos and casually tossed a few credits out and waited patiently for her turn with the dice to come up again. She made a few credits, and drank her drink while the others played. Then it was back to her. “So I was definitely unlucky on my first roll. Something you do for luck that might turn things around?” She held the dice out in an open hand.
