Admittedly, he was glad that having worn his normal hard-panel suit, he was protected from things like that smoke. It didn't bother him when he was wearing an outfit that might very well have protected him against submersion or even a sudden vacuum.<br/><br/>While she seemed to make note of the Arconan, which said to him that the individual in question was her quarry, Xev also took note of the creature. That target was more than likely a criminal, and would be brought to swift justice.<br/><br/>For a brief moment, Xev honestly thought about correcting her. He wasn't a regular storm trooper, but a member of the elite scout trooper squadrons. His armor, helmet and weapons were different and recognizable.<br/><br/>Something told him, however, that the intricacies of His Imperial Majesty's Armed Services wasn't something that would have been very interesting to someone like her though.<br/><br/>Rather, her decided to answer her question more directly rather than provide any corrective speech.<br/><br/>"I require the services of a bounty hunter, who will provide me transport to a system to be named later, along with assistance in capturing a specific suspect. The Empire will compensate you handsomely."<br/><br/>He wasn't going to mince any more words. The Twi'lek knew very well that she could have seen that whomever he was going after was quite dangerous, and the fact that he needed to work with a bounty hunter would also suggest that the Empire wanted to keep their hands clean of the mission for whatever reason.<br/><br/>"It involves the spice trade, and our efforts to put a stop to it once and for all."<br/><br/>Pausing once more, he decided that he might bring up the whole thing about the Arconan later. It wouldn't have been difficult for him to aid her with that bit of a side quest and get her the individual that she was looking for.<br/><br/>Like he thought before, that person probably needed to be brought to justice as well anyway, and it would have helped to make him a bit trustworthier to her.<br/><br/>Of course, at this point he had no idea that the bounty hunter was female any more than she had realized that he was a Twi'lek.<br/><br/>Things could be very unusual when both parties were wearing some sort of helmet that hid their personality from the rest of the world completely.
