Petra sits with her back to the building, and her coat on the ground before her. She has a rag and scrub, and one of her guns is lying taken appart before her. Another sits in its holster on her hip. Metodicly she scrubs dirt and oil off of a spring in front of her.

A shadow falls across her work and she glances up.

"Boba Fett, hello."

He inclines his head in hello and kneels down to examine the pieces before the girl.

"Heard you had a failed business venture with a not-jedi."

He grunts. "Yeah, well, things happen."

She grins. "He's tricky, and I doubt you'd get a bounty on him. Just a kid playing pretend." Seems like she doesn't take him placing a mark on a 'friend' badly. "Too bad you lost him. He's a pain."

Petra continues to clean her gun, and she and Fett are talking about nothing much.

[ooc: mun is posting Fett for a friend, for purposes of RP.

And at this point, Bonzo makes a decidedly inopportune appearance. And he's in his robes, too. Lightsaber on belt, etc. Which makes him, as usual, look like he belongs somewhere in the Jedi Temple sometime in the Old Republic.

When he sees Petra and Boba standing there, however, he freezes.

Oh, kriffing hell...not what I wanted to see...

Actuly, Petra is sitting, and Fett is squatting sorta. Its all good.

Petra wipes the rag over the last pieces of her unassembled gun. He should catch her right in the middle of this sentance, "... skywalker's legacy gave me the answer to my problem on my planet though, so it's all good."

Fett (who for the record DOESN'T have his helmet on) raises an eyebrow at her. "Vader?"

Bonzo frowns at hearing that, and walks forward. "What did you just say, Petra?" Pardon while he ignores you, Mr. Fett.

Petra is -really- good at ignoring people.

"A man called Ray told me that Vader, skywalker then, attacked the jedi where they were the weakest, and they fell. Doing that back home, to another sect, would achieve the same thing."

Fett eyes Bonzo, but doesn't make any agressive moves, he just squats there. He does answer Petra though, "Makes sense. I do not know your world, but who would you destroy?"

Wow. Bonzo and Boba have the same question in mind. Bonzo, however, has more of it in mind than Petra. "Petra, which Skywalker are you talking about?"

Kriff...it sounds like Anakin...not good...

"Because if it's Anakin..." He closes his eyes. "He killed thousands of good people, Petra...he killed children."

Petra rolls her eyes and finaly looks at Bonzo. "Exactly. Most people would give up without the children yes?"

Her hands snap the last piece of her gun in place, and she begins to shine the outside.

Fett does not say anything to that comment.

Bonzo damned near blows his cool. Only a strong deep breath keeps that from happening.

"You're talking about killing the Battle Schoolers, aren't you?"

Petra finishes polishing and begins to load the gun. "And what does it mean to you?"

Fett remains quiet, which is probably a good idea.

Bonzo looks her over. "Don't load the gun, Petra. Put it down." Very brief pause. "NOW." That was a command, not a request, by the way...he just slipped his hand onto his saber, ready to draw it.

Don't make me hurt you, Petra. I don't want to.

Petra continues to load the gun. Its her way of saying.. no.

Fett stands up and takes a step back. He can tell where this one is going.

Bonzo closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, doing his best to center himself.

"Petra, they're children! You'd be no better than Achilles if you do what you're talking about!"

Petra raises an eyebrow.

"Go away boy. You have no idea what you are talking about."

"Then tell me. You're talking about killing off Battle Schoolers and I'm supposed to go away?" Pause. "Not likely. Not kriffing likely."

"I never said anything about killing Battle Schollers."

Her voice is calm as she continues to load the gun... slowly.

"Then what are you talking about, Petra? I'm short on information, and I don't want to have to fill in the blanks."

Petra stands up slowly, an eye on the boy. "I believe, that is my business. Not yours. Go away." Her voice is even, and very very deadly calm.

Fett takes another step back. Just in case.

Bonzo shakes his head. "When you're talking about Darth Vader's legacy providing tips, I'm pretty sure you're not talking about 'saber form." He's reluctant to unhook the lightsaber from his belt because of what that entails in his mind. Because...this is Petra for crying out loud...she's never been a mass murderer, outside of the Battleroom!

"If it will bring peace? Then what is the problem?"

Still very cold voice. Fett simply continues to watch.

"How far are you willing to go for peace, Petra? Far enough to kill thousands? Millions?" Pause. "Far enough to lose?"

"As far as I have to go. Don't you get it Madrid? To have Peace?"

She grips her gun, but doesn't do anything more then that.

He closes his eyes. I'm not going to draw first. She's armed, but she hasn't done anything yet, and she can't kill the Battle Schoolers while she's in here.

"What's your plan, Petra? I'm not from your world...telling me won't hurt anyone there."

"Ah, but we're not friends. So why would I tell you?"

She keeps her gun ready.

"We're not enemies, Petra. And if you don't plan on killing innocent people and justifying it with bringing peace, then I have no reason to try and stop you."

"Theres always a price for peace. The buggers died, that war was over. People will always die in conflict."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean killing them is justifiable."
