He stuck his tongue out at her, then chuckled.
"Fair enough. I'll try to avoid anyone offering me anything. Probably just good advice anyway. Thanks, Ka'lek."

"So... find anything you like? I managed to talk my way into a few items, including materials for those blankets! And some actual soap! And a couple books!"

"It's alright! No need to apologize. The language barrier isn't easy. I'm just glad I didn't upset you."

"I can leave the cave, if you'd like. When we leave the market, I'll collect my stuff. I... I don't want you to feel uncomfortable around me."

He was clearly panicking. Ka'lek is the only person he knew here. He couldn't afford to lose his only friend.
"I'm just... I find you attractive. If you don't feel the same? Totally fine. I just wanted to clear the air." +

He scratched his chin.
"Just know it's a compliment. If I said you're hot? It means I find you attractive."

"I'm not gonna be able to flirt with all the hotties! It's terrible. I'm never gonna find that mate..."
He dramatically threw a hand against his forehead, grinning like an idiot.
"Sorry, sorry. I'm terrible. It's a surprise you haven't tried to kill me yet."

He kept his head on a swivel, making sure nothing was going to jump them. His body was tense, ready to leap into action at a seconds notice.
"It's hard to be charming when people can't understand you." +

He quickened his pace, keeping up with Ka'lek.
"I'm not expecting you to wait. Thanks for letting me tag along. It'll be good to mingle. Gossip a bit. Maybe pick up something useful."

It was a nice fantasy... but it was just that. A fantasy. After enjoying it for a moment, he stood up and dried off. Once he was dressed, he headed back to the cave. +

He scrubbed up, using some crude soap. Then he relaxed. Ka'lek flashed through his mind. She was absolutely gorgeous. +

He nodded in the direction of his clothes, neatly folded. His armor stacked on top.
"Alright. Gimme a couple minutes. I'm gonna clean up, then we can go."

"Actually, at some point today, I'm gonna look for a waterfall or pond. A shower or bath would be a good idea. And it'll give me the opportunity to have some me time. Blow off some steam."

"Alright, if you're sure. Just don't wanna keep you up."
He finished his breakfast and leaned back against the cave wall, relaxing a bit.
"You need any help today? I'll probably hunt some more in the afternoon, but aside from that I don't have plans." +

"Oh! Yeah, I'm fine. I just... never sleep well. Nightmares. Sorry. Didn't mean to wake you."
He grabbed the skin of his prey and tossed it over his waist, trying to preserve his modesty.
"I'll try to keep it down in the future. Promise."
