"Pleasure to meet you dear. Thanks again," she offers Raven a kind smile, and quickly moves to start tending the rest of the bar.

"New Hope hasn't been here as long as Riannon and I, no, they're pretty new. Her parents.. well, her dad was my brother. Mom didn't stick around to let me get to know her when she dropped her off on my doorstep about ten years back," she sighs. "Brother was already dead by that point so I had myself...

"No one knows him all that well-" she laughs, shrugging. "Most of the folk around here cling to the kids story cause of the spooky return from the dead vibes of it. Feels more fantasy than anything, eh?" she shakes her head. "Couple of the guys said they saw him once in Mandalorian space, working th...

"Poppa always told me I had the gift of gab. Thought it was wasted on me though, growing up on a farm on some frontier world out in the middle of the outer rim," she pours a beer, slides it along, and denies payment with an open palm. "Family hit hard times, I left, found a different frontier world ...

After a couple rounds elsewhere Elmira would return. Raven got a nice sight of what it was like around here. Somehow this woman was personable enough to break through to all sorts of hardened criminals. Any thoughts anyone might have wondered about security could be dispelled just by seeing what Rav...

"Looks like me, a bit- only kid about, 17. Her name's Riannon, and you can tell her that Elmira sent you if she asks. Which she might not really care," she waves a finger toward Raven, indicating the whole of her. "Sure your armor will draw her attention a bit." "She's young and likes trouble. With ...

"My niece," she gestures toward one of the nearest exits from the bar itself. "She left a bit ago and I can't leave to go after her. Something is itching at the back of my head that she's off getting herself into trouble. Do me the favor of making sure she doesn't do anything I'll regret?" Raising a...

"I don't imagine I'd know more about any Mandalorians that have come through here than you do," she says, but offers her a reassuring smile. Glinting eye revealing the direction this conversation was about to go. "Still, I know these people here. I can go ask around for you and see what I find, but ...

"Less different folk here lately than there's ever been, actually," she cracks a smile. "Empire doesn't exactly let people in and out these days, but I do know a whole lot more about those that still are sticking around. Some keep talking about runnin' for hyperspace but most don't wanna risk being ...

Elmira leaves her to her devices after that. Returning to the rest of the bar, and the denizens therein.

It wouldn't be long, but Varina would find herself alone for all sorts of contemplation. Elmira would return with a flask of water. Setting the flask down in front of Varina without drawing attention to it. "Nikto across the bar saw her leave about an hour ago through the south exit. Pointed out tha...

" Alright then. Stay here alone, not knowing if things coulda been better. If someone mighta needed you," she says, casting a glance around. "Not all parents don't wanna be there. My brother woulda wanted to meet her. She deserved that much too." Moving off, Elmira tends to a couple of newcomers at ...

"Right-" she says, laying in the word easy. There's a touch of a smile but she hides it, and it's easy to hide because of the memory. Sighing warmly she lays the glass down and leans back into the bar, closer to Varina. "My brother never worried about anyone either. Shame was, being so distant from ...

Elmira smiles like a woman who realizes she starting to get it, to understand the way different people work sometimes.

"It isn't that bad, considering what it came from. Worrying about your friend?" she asks, raising a brow.

There is no response.

"Could have, I suppose," she says, a touch of awkwardness in her smile but there was still that amicable warmth there. "Your friend was readying to find a spot to settle in but stepped out for a bit an hour ago I think. Thought she went to go find you but I'm guessing now that isn't what happened," ...

"Not any anyone around here got the means or care to lay darlin'," she says, a conciliatory smile granted her way. "Course.. maybe someone could, but that's not the kind of work I think you want to be getting caught up in. Some rich folk who want fun, and some bad folk who want trouble, not a whole ...

"Well," she smiles, and steps back a little. Grabbing an empty glass to dry out while they chat. "If I'm being honest, there are only a few types of folk that come here to drink alone and every one of them is dangerous when they swing blasters on their hip. One of them tho- well, that type can often...

"Oh- you are too much," she says to one of the others in the little circle. Catching sight of Hokuu's signal she sends a nod his way before saying her quick goodbyes. Elmira's voice is one that betrays a frontier upbringing slightly, but not totally. Much as she grew on a frontier planet somewhere t...
