// It’s ok, I hope you are doing better now. If you want to talk about it, don’t hesitate :)

Alema Distombe @twilekmercenary.bsky.social · Aug 21

She chuckled, eyes wide in surprise.

“Wow, really? I didn’t take you two for such… serious types. But how did you end up doing hired jobs? Unless you’re an advanced assassin droid or you have an organic partner, droids aren’t usually taken seriously in that line of work…”

“From my experience, it’s not fate but your actions that get stuff done. How did you manage to not be turned into tin cans? You ran away? Blasted your way out heroically?”

Alema Distombe @twilekmercenary.bsky.social · Aug 21

She smirked, and pulled out two sawed off doubled barreled scatter guns “These babies! I like to get close and personal!”

Alema Distombe @twilekmercenary.bsky.social · Aug 21

“Name’s Alema. Mercenary, bounty huntress, enforcer, bodyguard and all that stuff that pays well for hired muscles.”

She raised an eyebrow, surprised by not impressed.

“Really? I thought the retirement plans for veteran battle droids was the scrapyard after you lost the war.”

// Ouchie, having a lek cut sounds painful >_<

I heard the twi’lek from the game lethal alliance struggled to communicate with her kind because of it since she could not perform lekku sign language anymore. Like a deaf person missing several fingers.

Alema had been up longer, having finished her morning workout, wearing a crop top and shorts, her muscles, abs, arms and legs exposed for Madary's view.

“Hey there Maddie. Slept well?”

Alema Distombe @twilekmercenary.bsky.social · Jun 27

She smiled gently, leaned down due to her height to be at her head level, and teasingly patted Maddie's.

“I promise.” She said with a big smile.

Madary Vea @attentiondesired.bsky.social · Jun 27

That seemed to win Alema some points. Madary, small, quiet thing she was, was comforted by mercy, and sought nothing in death. She had spent enough time within its dark myre.

"Promise?"

Alema Distombe @twilekmercenary.bsky.social · Jun 27

She might not be special to others, but to Alema, she is. Killing that guy would only make a mess. She wants to teach him a lesson, so no other twi’lek falls prey to him.

“Look, I’ll try to talk first, and I’ll go easy on him if he doesn’t listen. Don’t want him to hurt you or anyone else again.”

Madary Vea @attentiondesired.bsky.social · Jun 27

She shrank in on herself even more. Now she may have just got a guy killed... She shouldn't have said anything, what was a bruise? She'd had more bruises than skin before. This was nothing. It's not like anyone should get hurt over her. She's no one special...

"... I dunno... Maybe..."

Alema Distombe @twilekmercenary.bsky.social · Jun 27

If there is one thing Alema hates, it’s people taking advantage of her kind. For some reason, few people tried to treat her like they do the others.

“Really? Is he still there? Because I want to… talk to him…” she said ominously while cracking her knuckles.

Madary froze for a second. This was the wall. She had been taught that asking for help results in nothing but a yank on her lekku.

"... There was a guy... At the club. He wanted to dance, we did, he uhm... Tried some stuff, I had issues and he hit me and left."

Alema Distombe @twilekmercenary.bsky.social · Jun 22

She frowned, finding the quick pace of her reply worrying.

"Really? Their hands must be the size of rancor claw then. Or they were more than just handsy..."

She leaned closer, and placed her hand on Maddie's shoulder gently.

"You know it's always worth it with me."
