At a booth that provides good sight lines, Cassian is in the process of cleaning and checking his blaster. Not too long ago, he was on a planet with a lot of rain and industrial pollution and his blaster hasn't been working as it should.

As he works, he has his datapad beside him and every once in a while, he taps it to read something else. A caf is going cold next to him and he keeps absently eating from the plate of spiced bread that Bar gave him.

Tiny tag: Cassian Andor

Sinric comes in from his door, wearing a fur blanket wrapped around him. And a smile. And nothing else. He pads bare-foot to the bar and orders a glass of wine and some picnic things to go.

He spots Cassian and nods politely.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian looks up as the door opens and nods at Sinric, Bar must have disturbed him in the midst of sleeping or being with someone.

[thewidewideworld]

"Drink?" Sinric offers, hitching up the furs as their slip off his shoulder.

[childofrebellion]

"I could do with a refill of my caf. Thank you." The one he has is cold.

[thewidewideworld]

"Gladly." He glances down, realising there's no way to carry everything and keep the furs in. "One moment."

He asks the bar for some clothes and ducks into the bathroom, returning in a short green silk tunic that shows off his girlish figure.

Leaving his furs with the bar, he brings the wine and Cassian's caf over. "You look very intense tonight. What are you working on?"

[childofrebellion]

Cassian gestures to the blaster that's now clean and he's ready to start reassembling it. "Some maintenance and some analyzing work. How are you? Try the bread, its good and Bar gave me a lot of it."

The spiced bread is dark and rich and there are a number of good sized slices on the plate.

[thewidewideworld]

"Thank you." he nibbles on a slice of bread, humming happily. "Lovely. I shall have to ask for some of that to take back with me."

He cranes to examine the parts of the blaster, brushing his mess of golden hair back behind his ear. "A weapon?"

[childofrebellion]

"Blaster, yes, its my main weapon."

Once the pieces are back together, he turns it so Sinric can see how it looks and takes a sip of the warm caf.

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric admires it without touching. "So small. And yet powerful, I would imagine." He glances up, his dark honey eyes flashing with a smile. "In the hands of someone trained."

[childofrebellion]

Cassian shrugs, its a medium sized blaster, he has a smaller pistol. "Being a good shot keeps me alive."

[thewidewideworld]

"Would you show me?" he asks with a little mischief.

[childofrebellion]

"I can always use more time at the firing range. Do you use any range weapons?"

That will give him a chance to make certain his blaster is working out how it should.

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric shrugs. "Ragnar taught me to use a bow got hunting. But I haven't needed it for anything but show for some time."

She spots the blaster from near the front door and makes her way over, curious as it looks to be new technology...at least technology she is unfamiliar with.

"Query, what is the purpose of this device?"

[childofrebellion]

He looks up as the question makes him think of droids, she seems young but he isn't certain.

"For protection and violence. Its called a blaster."

[dreamingofelectricsheep]

She stares at the pieces and how he cleans them and is assembling them.

"It is an energy weapon then? Not a sonic? I am familiar with several blasters, both Terran and exo-Terran, but yours is the first that seems so utilitarian."

Comic book science tends towards flamboyant after all.

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, it is. Its not always easy to get new blasters where I'm from so I make what I have last."

He explains the mechanics of how the blaster works, showing her the parts as he puts it back together.

[dreamingofelectricsheep]

"Thank you. I understand the technology now. I am Vivian Vision, but I prefer Viv. I am from Earth in the year..." She's gotten the basics down and figures details will help element any potential confusion as to worlds or realities.

[childofrebellion]

"Its good to meet you, Viv. My name is Cassian Andor and I'm from the Galactic Empire. Are you new to Milliways?"

She knows enough to provide her where and when but he feels like he'd recall seeing her around more. And he's wondering, what defines her version of Earth.

[dreamingofelectricsheep]

"I am a recent patron. I came in an hour ago. I was welcomed by several people and the details of the bar explained."

"Which Galactic Empire? I am aware of the Kree, the Shi'ar, and the Spartax. There once was the Skrull but their dominance seems to have waned."

[childofrebellion]

"The one ruled from the planet Coruscant."

In his galaxy, there isn't a need for being more specific and mentioning Coruscant seems the best way to explain it.

[dreamingofelectricsheep]

"I do not know of this planet. I expect we are from different realities."

Once she can connect to the internet back home, she will search this planet to confirm, and discover she needs to process some interesting information.

[childofrebellion]

"I think we are as I've never seen anyone who resembles you in my galaxy. Can I ask what species you are?"

[dreamingofelectricsheep]

"I am a synthezoid, a subset of androids. I was created to emulate the human body and I synthesize sunlight for power, hence the distinction. Is it valid to assume you are human?"

[childofrebellion]

"Synthezoid, that's a clever improvement. Droids in my galaxy still have to charge themselves. Yes, I'm human."
