[Action in Nova City] Egg event

[generalgrievous]

[Seated on the sidewalk is an alien creature about the size of a small child. He is dressed in a simple brown tunic and what skin that can be seen has a distinctly orange-red appearance; the facial features are bat-like with yellow lizard-like eyes; small tusks protrude from his jaw; his hands and feet are bare and claw-like and his long black hair is pulled back in a loose ponytail. Despite the strange appearance, there is something youthful about his face, even if it looks rather sour and upset. He is hunched up, cross-legged and scowling at passersby and looks very uncomfortable; possibly lost. A couple of colourful eggs lie at his side.]


[ooc note: icon is of an adult so imagine a face like that only much younger-looking!]

[So while he's looking for a way out of the city, Lucky happens upon this guy and tilts his head as he walks up, setting his little lion friend down.]

You okay?

[Lucky, did your parents ever tell you not to talk to strangers?]

[generalgrievous]

[He certainly doesn't look okay and he shakes his head vigorously and ducks his head as if he doesn't want his face to be seen very well.]

[Here’s a tall Togruta woman in a big grey cloak. She’s been trying to better understand her surroundings, but she stops when she spots him. Ahsoka kneels down, her voice gentle as she speaks.]

Are you lost, young one?

[generalgrievous]

[After seeing mostly humans around, the Togruta is perhaps a more welcome sight. But it was difficult to tell from the Kaleesh child's surly attitude. She may realise it's more of a defence in an attempt to show he's not frightened.]

I'm waiting for my father.

[snippings]

[She’s seen a lot of children around, though she’s not sure if that’s anything unusual for the area. Maybe it’s just a popular place to raise a family?]

Would you mind if I wait with you?

[generalgrievous]

You can do what you want.

[He doesn't want to appear needy but she may sense some relief at having the company.]

[snippings]

[Ahsoka sits down next to him and lowers her hood.]

I only arrived to this city recently. Do you and your father live here?

[generalgrievous]

No. I'm not supposed to be here.

[There's some agitation in his words.]

I don't know how I got here.

[snippings]

I see...

[That's somewhat troubling, but she figures she should wait before jumping to any conclusions.]

But your father is here with you?

[draconixaviarix]

[So many children that weren't happy on this occasion! The older Hana approached and sat by the little one]

Here..eat this. It'll make you feel better. [Hana beamed, handing the little one a piece of chocolate]

[generalgrievous]

[He shrinks back. Maybe it's poisoned. He's clearly suspicious.]

I don't want it.

[draconixaviarix]

Oh? Ooohhkay, then~

[Hana took a piece of it off and ate it] I thought kids liked sweets. What kind of food do you like?

[giggles] I adore any bread there is.
