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.

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."

"So says Bonzo Madrid eh?"

"Ironic, isn't it?"

"Hypocritical I say. People die, and that's the end."

"Not hypocritical when I disagree with who I used to be. And who do you plan on killing?"

On principle, the killing issue sits badly with him. But if it's in a straight battle, it's...defensible. Still, there's something rotten here.

"If you know where I'm pulling the idea from, you probably have a good idea already. But then again, your first guess was wrong. Incidently, didn't I tell you? Most of the important ones are already dead."

Bonzo takes a deep breath and glances at Boba for a second before looking Petra over. "You know I can't let you do that Petra." And we have someone here who can stop you, too.

"You can't stop me either. The bar doesn't care, I'm not doing it in its domain."

Fett notes the look and steps forward. "If you two are going to fight, I suggest another location."
