The Nautolan's tentacles start twitching again at that last, and then he relaxes further. 'My name is Shang.' he coughs slightly 'You might wish to be a little more circumspect about such pronouncements though, not everyone else might share your views.' he looks round the cantina deliberately, but sees nothing out of place. 'I think we're lucky on this occasion, I don't sense any undue interest in our conversation.' he reaches up to indicate his tentacles 'We can sense strong emotions on occasion from organic lifeforms. Useful for a Sabacc player...' he smiles at the last.
Astrid frowns in response to the woman's casualness about something she considered to be a very serious matter, but nevertheless unclenches her fists slightly under the table. The echani takes a deep breath and glances round the cantina again for her contact, taking everything in, before studying the person sitting opposite. She focuses on the miraluka, trying to get a read on her intentions.

Glad to see Shang crack a smile, Konnor returns one. “A sabacc player huh? I’ve dabbled a bit myself.” Konnor then points to the Nautolan’s tentacles as he continues, “Those must come in handy for all sorts of things then.”
Konnor then finishes the last of his ale and sets the empty, aluminum mug down in the bar. He casually glances around to see if anything has changed since he entered.

Zayvera gives the room another once over stopping for a moment on the Nautolan before continuing her scan of the place. When she turns back to her new acquittance Zayvera raises her glass in a cheers motion then takes another sip. Astrid senses no ill intentions but instead curiosity with a hint of opportunism from the miraluka as Zayvera tries to put together in her mind the best way to offer her services to the echani.
Getting a flavour of the woman's intentions, Astrid ponders the people at the bar that seem to also have the attention of the person sitting opposite, before narrowing her eyes at her new 'friend'. "So what do you want then, other than my company?"
You notice two men in the cantina who are not apart of any larger group. Each one is scanning the crowds closely, as if they are looking for someone or something, but they have not payed attention to any of you, yet.
Astrid and Zeyvera
You notice these men both are carrying holdout blasters tucked into their jackets, and that they are wearing identical clothing. They seem to be whispering to themselves, speaking into hidden commlinks.
The bartender grabs the drinks for those who ordered them, all an assortment of ales and mixes that are seen throughout the cantina. The halls of the cantina, known only as 'Gundarks Cantina', are affluent with the many humans and nonhumans in the booths and such. Light panting can be heard by all of you, as a woman dressed in greasy mechanic's wear stumbles in, clutching her midsection as if it is injured. She's obviously having a hard time walking, and makes her way in, looking around the place wearily before noticing Astrid, and surreptitiously trying (and humbly failing) to make her way over to the echani.

Kita, seeing the struggling woman enter stands and walks over to help her. He says in his lower but slightly muffled voice: "Is there a way I can assist you with your injuries mam?"
He does his best to assess her injuries from a glance. Medicine: 18
Shang nods to Konnor. ‘We’ve a very open culture on Glee Anselm.’ then he sighs ‘That’s why I had to leave…’
Suddenly feeling vulnerable, he looks around…
Perception: 12
Still grinning, Konnor begins to respond to Shen’s statement but the words never escape his lips. Instead, two men scanning the crowd catch his eye. His falls falls to a more serious tone.
Shang’s tentacles start twitching as he attempts to read the room…
Insightful roll: 18
He also still has ‘Sense Force’ operating, in case it becomes relevant…
‘Imperials, I think…’ Shang mutters to Konnor, nodding to the two men, and surreptitiously resting a hand on his vibrodagger…
Konnor nods in agreement with Shen. Noticing Shen resting his hand on his dagger, Konnor moves his right hand across to the vibroblade at his side and says quietly, “I’m with you Shen.” He then continues to observe the situation.
Zayvera meets the echani's gaze, rests both her hands on the table entwining her fingers, then leans forward ever so slightly, "I would like to offer my services. I am a hired gun and I can offer the one thing someone in your position needs, protection. Those coming after you will not easily be able to escape my notice, so for a few credits I offer you my eyes, my ears, and my skills to keep you safe."
Zayvera subtly motions to the two men with hidden blasters, "Might need to make your decision soon."
Shifting her focus to the two men as the wounded woman enters the cantina Zayvera shifts her coat so she has easier access to her vibrodagger on her hip as well as her bow, folded and hidden, at the small of her back.
"And what makes you think I can afford you?", the echani replies as she also clocks the two men and understands the woman's meaning. She doesn't wait for a reply though, as her eyes widen as they rest on the woman staggering through the cantina. Astrid grabs her things and rises from her seat to go to the contact. "I have a bad feeling about this..."she murmurs to herself.
You can tell that they are most certainly Imperials, though disguised so that the common glance wouldn't see them as such
To Kita
There is blood on the woman's hand that you can see, and she seems to be clutching a blaster mark, presumably a fresh one
"Kriff..." The woman says, to no one in particular as she limped onwards. "I'll be fine with a little bacta... but they're after me, I need your help..!" She looked at the silver haired echani who was supposed to help her retrieve something for the senator, and briefly opened her coat to show a worn but present insignia, one belonging to Alderaanian Security Forces. Those watching the two men in the crowd notice them start making their way towards the wounded woman, as a shout resonated from the same entrance she just came through. "Step away from that woman! She is under arrest in the name of the Emperor!" Two security guards of the station, wearing signature imperial uniforms made their way in, and raising their blasters towards the people near the woman, and the woman herself.

Astrid's face falls at the woman's failure, and her own - she hadn't even been on the station an hour, and the Imperials already had the jump on them. The echani resigns herself to her fate, and grips her vibrostaff.
Zayvera slowly stands watching the two disguised Imperials march toward the wounded woman, her hand going to her bow, ready to draw it at a moments notice should things take a turn.
