Lupercus grinned, taking a swig of his drink.

Is that a challenge missy?

By this time, Jai had her hands on her hips and was stareing out the window...she had to have looked crazy.

It just might be! And don't go challenging Solos...it'll only get you beaten up, you Hapan royalty wannabe.

Lupercus was enjoying himself, baiting this woman was too easy.

Ohh, a Solo!

Let me know when i should start trembling!

Welp...that was enough for Jai. She was officially in time-to-kick-serious-arse mode. Insulting Kas was one thing...but insulting Solos was quite something different.

She stamped her foot, threw down her handbag, and stormed outside. She kept going, in a huff, till she was right where she had seen the man...but, the only thing was, he wasn't there anymore...

"Ha! I knew you wouldn't stay and fight like a man. What a spineless coward! Hmph!" Her voice was strong, powerful, yet so cute and young that is wasn't really intimidating...at least, not as much as she thought it was.

Lupercus smiled at the huff she was in. She was indeed one beautiful woman, especially so because she was a human. He emerged from behind her and swung his arm around infront of her face. In his hand was a read rose.

"I surrender!"

Jai gasped and yelped at being caught off her guard. She blinked and took a moment to focus on the rose...what a time to not her her glasses!

"Oh...wow!" She took the rose, and put it agianst her lips softly, takeing in a breath of the sweet fragrance. She turned around and looked up, smileing, "Thank yo--" She stopped short when she saw who it was..."Oh...it's you. Well, you can have your rose back, Sir. Even though it's pretty. I don't want it. Anyone who insults Solos isn't worth my time."

Lupercus smiled, replying razor fast.

"What if i were to tell you it was just a ploy to get your attention?"

Jai was taken aback for a moment..."Why would you want to do that?"

She didn't find herself actractive, espically with all the gorgeous hapan women around, and she didn't think she knew this man...so why would he want to talk to her? She was puzzled.

Lupercus smiled broadly.

“Well, firstly who wouldn't want to talk to a beautiful woman like yourself, and secondly you seem a little different. Someone about you just screams... I'm not sure, adventure perhaps. Or at least fun, much more fun than what would be had at one of these."

Jai smirked at first, then laughed a bit and smiled.

"You can't be serious. Your telling me that you pestered me just to get me out here so you could hit on me?"

Jai rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest, "Flyboy, your barkin' up the wrong smuggler."

She was playing it cool, but it was hard to. A drop dead gorgeous Hapan babe was flirting with her....in a garden...of roses, no less. And she was so flattered that she could barely speak...Dakkon saying nice things was one matter, but this wasn't quite different.

"Say...who are you anyways? You could be one of Dakkon's doubles, your a perfect match. Same height. Same looks..Same...well...just the same, pretty much."
