"Give me one good reason why you should turn me in. After all, I need to survive somehow. Now, will you kindly let me go?"

*Atalanta rolled her eyes with an annoyed sigh.* "So you're just another lazy bum that refuses to get a job like the rest of the world huh? If that's the case then you really do deserve to be handed to the authorities."

"Well, actually I did try. I had three jobs, and I lost three jobs." Ferric pulled out his stun blaster. "Will you let me go now. All I want to do is get off this planet. You can either let me go, or this can get ugly."

*Atalanta was suddenly quite serious again. She shrugged lightly, dropping her helmet to the ground by her feet.* "What makes you think that I'm afraid of this getting ugly? Do you think that a female doesn't stand a chance against you?" *Her lightsaber flew to her hand, the purple blade extending with the familiar low hum.* "What about a female jedi?"

"Oh yeah, I'm sooo scared," he said in a sarcastic voice. "Strike me down then. That's going to solve lots of problems if I'm dead, right? After all, I'm the big bad pickpocketer," said Ferric still being sarcastic. He was pretty sure that she wouldn't kill him, but was always on his guard if something happened.

*Atalanta raised an eyebrow at him.* "Not afraid of a Jedi, hm? Interesting. Amusing too. Stupid... but amusing." *If she hadn't just watched this guy take an innocent man's wallet, she might have actually liked him.* "Just hand over the credits and then you can leave. Otherwise I'll just take them from your dead body. Your choice." *Atalanta knew she wouldn't kill him unless forced to but she had been using death threats to get her way for many years and had perfected the technique of bluffing.*

"A jedi murder? Well, rules have changed lately, haven't they." Ferric Nighthunter laughed a bit. "Here's half of what I stole." He handed her eighty credits. "I think I'll take my leave now."

*Atalanta sighed softly, counting up the credits.* "You're almost as stubborn as I am... Too bad you're a thief. You might have made interesting company." *Her lightsaber flickered off as she tucked it under her arm and drew her winnings from earlier.* "Try racing next time. It has bigger prizes." *She quickly took out 120 more credits, pocketing the rest.* "I was actually planning on giving you the credits if you were capable of doing the right thing... But since you're only halfway capable, I think I'll just be halfway generous." *She tossed 40 at his feet before putting her lightsaber away and reaching for her helmet.*

Ferric bent down and picked up the 40. "Not like it matters much to me," he said. Then he pulled out 3000 credits and flashed them in front of her. "I think I can make more this way than racing."

"Yeah. I'll remind you of that when you're rotting away in prison... Or when you steal from the wrong person and lose a limb or two. Besides... Racing on Coruscant could give me ten times that much... or more. Naboo's good practice for someone with no talent at all though... someone like you." *She shrugged lightly, her face still serious despite her teasing insult, tucking her helmet under one arm.*

"Naboo's good practice for someone with no talent at all though... someone like you."
"Oh, that's real funny. Maybe I could be an assassin and kill some of these louzey jedi that infest our world...like you. Yes...I could be a billionare, ya know? Well, maybe not. I'd probably get dog scraps if it was someone like you of no importance."

*Atalanta smirked slightly at that, almost laughing. She had to admit, he had spunk... and a lot of courage.* "Hah. I may only be an apprentice, and therefore of little value, but I could still take you any day. You just can't handle me."

"Oh don't be to sure of that. I have my ways of handling people. Sometimes by accident even. I remember that time I was robbing this one noble. I had my pistol pointed right at his heart so he would give me the money. Then all of a sudden, another thief was sneaking up on me and was gonna slit my throat. All of a sudden, my gun malfuncioned and backfired. It hit the thief right between the eyes. Like they say, all that's well ends well."

*Atalanta shook her head, that slight smirk still on her lips.* "Yes well thieves are stupid and always seem to get themselves killed." *She paused a moment, shooting him a pointed glance.* "Jedi on the other hand... aren't quite that easy to get rid of. Especially not me. Somehow I don't think a gun backfiring is going to do the trick so you'd better have another card up your sleeve if you ever plan on trying to bring me down."

"Yes, infact I do have another little trick. This one, however, I can't tell you. I mean, you never know when we could be dueling each other. This way can be a bit...messy...but seems to work," Ferric Nighthunter said.
