((Just for the record, Adara isn't mad. She's just trying to reprimand Bren))
Bren glared at the new speaker, the young jedi girl they called Lisa. "I'm not a jedi, so don't treat me like one, little girl." He winced. Maybe that was taking it a little to far. But still...he wasn't going to let himself get pushed around by these arrogant people.
He took a deep breath. "My only problem at the moment is with her." He pointed at Adara. The woman ignored him.

Lisa looked at Bren, meeting his gaze calmly. "I understand...Bren. But we Jedi are not as arrogant and stuck up as you may think...I used to be in a gang...I lost everything at a young age...my home, my parents...
Jenina watched Lisa, and slowly felt the emotions in the room soften. She looked at Cla 'Tal, wishing she could do something, say something, that would help...but she had nothing....

Jarx looked at them, "Besides, having your problems, I am glad someone volunteered to be a swoop pilot. Yes, you may think I am crazy we will need one, but swoop racing does help. It can make a lot of money. IF your good enough. Well, any more questions? Like what we will expect, how we should act? Anything?"

Lisa shook her head. "I think I'm good...not too many questions.."
Jenina wasn't sure about what was going to happen, but she shrugged away some nagging worries. She would just follow the others' leads.

Adara stood again, glancing at Bren. Perhaps I'm too used to automatically having respect, she thought. She turned her attention to Jarx, studying the man for a moment. "Do we have a plan as how to obtain a swoop?"
Bren watched the feline-like girl, the one who had responded to him. Jarx obviously wanted personal problems to be kept on hold, so instead he paced around the room until he stood closer to Lisa. "I already told you. My only problem is with Adara Kutar. She rubs me the wrong way."

"Simple. I have some friends on Taris, who we may be able to coax, with a little something, to give us a swoop. Maybe even for free. Though I highly doubt it.
I am now thinking of who would like to fight in the arena, if we have the chance? Needs to be a warrior. Any takers?" Jarx asked.

Lisa nodded. "I understand, Bren." she flashed him a friendly smile, then looked at Jarx. "Hmm....if no-one else wants to I could give it a go..." she paused, thinking. "Then again, if we did the swoop race and the arena fight, that could be a sort of 'cover', a diversion, in a way. Then those of us who are going to go get what we need for the ship and such could go around, virtually undetected..."
Jenina looked at Lisa. She wasn't at all surprised her friend would volunteer to fight.

Adara nodded at the first part of Jarx's speech, biting her lip. "As I've already said, I have some skill with persuasion..."
Bren glanced at Lisa, flushing when she volunteered to fight. "Wait a minute! We have mercenaries on board! That would look a whole lot better than sending a girl to fight in an arena." He glanced at Lisa again. "No offense."
((*snickers* It would be funny if somebody forced him to volunteer...))

Lisa looked at Bren, her feline eyes dancing. "No need to worry, Bren...I have a lot of experience fighting....I used to run with a Pack..." she smiled, remembering her years before going to the Jedi Temple.
Jenina smiled, and shook her head. Of course Lisa would volunteer...

Bren glared at her. "I am not worried," he said, stressing the 'not'.
Adara listened to them, fighting against a widening smile. For once, the young man actually showed some character, even if he denied it.

Lisa smiled. "Of course not..." she said, a slight playful teasing tone in her words. "Still, I can fight....and pick locks, and....." she laughed quietly, remembering good old days.
Jenina half-listened to the conversation, watching Cla 'Tal, worried.

Jarx thought thoughtfully and said, "Bren, if we fight, you will be ouy fighter. I know every man and women here is capable to fight, but I rather know that a man is fighting for the money."

Bren couldn't resist Lisa's tone, and laughed along with her, immediately feeling at ease. Until he heard Jarx's words.
"What?!" he shouted, eyes wide and mouth hanging open. He cleared his throat. "I mean...that's cool and all because...but umm..." He sighed. "Fine."
Adara smothered laughter. Maybe a fight will give him some real confidence, she thought.

Lisa nodded. "As you wish...." she inclined her head respectfully, hiding a grin.
Jenina stifled a laugh. She saw Lisa's hidden grin.

Cla 'Tal turned from the briefing room and strode down the hall. Jealousy and anger flowing off of him in waves. I'm not a youngling! I'm a jedi, a powerful jedi. Just because Sarahi has the rank of jedi master at such a young age doesn't mean she's better than I. And that guy Brendak, he didn't do anything and yet Sarahi has a stronger connection with him than me...I don't get it! Cla 'Tal let out an irritated sigh.
--------------------
Arena... Sarahi stared down at her feet, the memories of slavery coming to her mind. She placed a hand by her hip in memory of a durasteel rod that used to hang there. Sarahi's hand glanced off her lightsaber, that rod had been replaced by this powerful weapon...
"So we got stealing, swoop racing, arena fighting, all to earn us a bit of money...if we win and don't all die in the process. Is there anything else we can do?" she said looking at Jarx.
