can't remember. HPB's already put him on the naughty list.

The name was Tayswi, Annat Tayswi. Now I'm looking for a new moniker.

would you like a martini, while we're talking?

*looks at Annat then at the ash on the floor, then back at Annat.*

*a small droid comes scooting over and cleans up the ash as Hored waves a hand*

an ex Jedi you say. a bit arrogant aren't you?

Martini? No, that would be the drink of spies. I'll have a Guinness. It's dark and cold.

And my arrogance was the main reason I fell foul of the order. They wouldn't let me train my padawan as I saw fit.

*flicks a bit more ash*

classy...

*gets a Gi'ness due to earth having not been invented yet*

here. Hored? What do you want?

Thankyou.

*Drains it in one and lights a new cigarette, stubbing the old one into the carpet*

i'll have a tea, hot.

you were a knight. i remember hearing of you at the academy. what exactly did the council have a problem with?

As the most senior non-council member, I had a few ideas about the force, how we should use it, and how I should train the younglings. Some in the council came to see me as a maverick after that. And besides, they didn't like the way I wouldn't hold off when sparring with padawans. Like losing an arm ever hurt anyone....

earl grey?

*gets him a cup of tea, then finds herself an orange juice*

your ideas could be useful here. you obviously need no training. welcome aboard.

*puts out hand to shake with Annat*

well I still don't trust him.

Does this mean I have to go fix his ship?

*Takes hand*

Thankyou, now if you could just get your pet kitten to repair my ship, I'm sure we'll get along just fine...

*punches him, very hard, in the nose, then rubs her hand and stalks off*

Tsk, you should have that thing put on a lead.

she may look like a kitten, but trust me Annat, she has the heart of a tiger.

we wil see to your ship in time. now tell me *gestures for Annat to sit with him at the helm* what do you know of the Jedi activities on Tatooine?

*there are sounds of smashing coming from the landing bay*

The only Jedi to have travelled to Tatooine was me. I have a small dwelling just outside Mos Eisley. Apart from that, there's just a few tuskans and other scum. Nothing of note.
