a snort escaped him. she was definitely unlike anyone he met before -- certainly not because she accepted a bounty which was placed on him. she wouldn't be the first one, certainly not the last. anakin has made a name for himself all across the galaxy as the general skywalker, the hero with no fear, and it wasn't rare for separatist to send bounty hunters his way ... to deal with him. needless to say, none got close enough to cash in on the money.

unlike this one. it wasn't even the first time, and she was clearly getting better as time went by. good enough, though? that remained to be seen. striking a conversation with her, while held at gun point, was certainly not what he had in mind though -- but he made a move towards his men. he could handle that one. they didn't need to worry.
