Tatooine Mos Eisley Cantina
Tovald sighed, donning his helmet, this was the third time Diocletian engaged him in a vicious verbal spat this week. Setting The Cyclone down in a docking space, he switched off the engines. At least there is a Thuris Stout waiting for him in the cantina. He needs a drink, several in fact because this time he rose to the barbed insults. Usually, Tovald knew how to deal with that Scimitar wielding maniac by not dignifying him with an answer. Diocletian got exactly what he wanted, a reaction.
<“He’s a real Karking Crink.”> He muttered while disembarking his ship, making sure to pay the docking fee as he did so, it’s increased tenfold, ah, well can’t be helped. The twin suns seemed particularly bright lately. Mos Eisley is teeming with people, too busy to notice new arrivals. He noted a Toydarian, Jawa and a Dug haggling over what looked like a rusted and battered Astromech for sale, suddenly there was a screech of binary and the droid’s head popped off in a small explosion of sparks and landed in a fresh pile of Bantha Manure with a sickly squelch. Tovald quickly kept walking as a shouting match erupted a moment later.
Banthas lumbered to and fro leaving little surprises for the unwary traveller. The people riding those beasts should invest in a dung collecting droid, but alas they haven’t been invented yet. Maybe someone will and it’ll be the next best-selling point.
He missed a few of these himself but noted several others weren’t as lucky. There goes 15-20 credits worth of shoes, he thought in amusement.
Finally, Tovald entered the Cantina, leaving little clumps of sand in his wake, that’s the trouble with this planet, sand, and lots of it. Carefully he picked his way towards the bar and ordered his drink from the barkeep. Eventually making himself comfortable in a vacant booth.
He sat back and watched the comings and goings of the cantina, he had been on The Cyclone way too long, he thinks.
