The Wookie bared his teeth... and in truth, it was the kind of thing that sent fear, like a shot of pure icewater, down her spine. But he also stepped aside to let her past, and Kyrin was a girl who knew to get when the getting was good.
The team now had a choice; follow after their contact, or try to finish off this situation with the Duros.

Tala looks over to the others, "Isn't that the girl we're looking for?" She immediately follows after Kyrin.

Not wasting any time, Kyrin hurried out of the door and started down the street, keeping one hand on her blaster pistol at all times, ready to use it. This was a rough neighbourhood, and she wouldn't feel safe until she'd arrived back at her lodgings and then...
Uh... She had no idea what she was going to do. Maybe it was time to move on. Try her luck somewhere else?
A thought occurred to her: Hey, that was the famous Master Skywalker, wasn't it?! But what was he doing in a shady dive like that? She really wanted to know, but she didn't dare go back there and find out.
Well... information was currency, and she could pick up some of that, later on. It might be useful to know.

"Wesa have no business here," Jam says to his partners. "Wesa should follow the girl."

Still moving toward the two hooligans, Darris continued to watch carefully as they backed away. He still held out his lightsaber just in case they still intended to attack. Although he wasn’t looking for trouble, he didn’t want trouble as well.
“… And so… you have chosen to do the right thing on this day. That is commendable. Nothing lost… and everyone lives to see tomorrow. I’m proud of your decision.”

When Jam notices Darrius's somewhat aggressive approach, his nerves caught up with him. Not wanting to say anything to potentially clue the thugs into the disguise, Jam hoped they didn't realize that a Jedi wouldn't peacefully approach with an ignited lightsaber.

Just then, Kyrin realised that she was being followed. Behind her there was a young Twi'lek women (maybe she'd seen her at the gambling den?) who looked intent on chasing her down.
She sighed. Probably it was best to find out what she wanted before rushing into any rash action. 'Alright,' she said, turning around and looking Tala up and down. 'You've got my full attention. What d'you want?'
'Oh, and keep those hands where I can see them, yeah?' she added, thinking that the Twi'lek's weapons were likely secreted somewhere about her person. 'Wouldn't want to do anything mm-hmm precipitous, hey?'

The two Duros' looked at each other, then back at "Skywalker."
"You are lucky today, Jedi. Lucky we meet on Coruscant and not elsewhere. The bounty on your head is large. We will meet again."
Stepping away from the "Jedi Master", they looked to Jam, and the more talkative of the two poked a finger toward the carbines. "Keep 'em. Sorosuub junk."
The pair headed toward the door...
(Tala and Kyrin seem to be doing fine without any narration from me)

"Right, uh, I meant nothing by it," Tala smiled awkwardly, holding her blue hands away from her person, "My name's Tala Mei. I'm looking for a Human female named Kyrin Viltry. She's supposed to be our contact for a trip to Nar Shadaa. I didn't see her in the bar, and, well, I thought maybe you were her."

'Well, you've found me,' Kyrin said, raising an eyebrow and looking quizzical.
She was mystified. It was strange that she hadn't known anything about this. From what Tala had just said it sounded as though this trip had all been arranged and everything; so why hadn't she known? Unless they were only now just getting around to telling her... which was careless of them, she thought.
For the first time, it occurred to her that her inflated reputation might be more trouble than it was worth; yeah, she enjoyed boasting and telling tall stories, but then people might expect her to actually do some of the things she'd confidently said were "all too easy"; or (like now) someone might want to hire her as a guide to some faraway planet she'd only ever been to in daydreams; they'd be very upset when she couldn't deliver; if they were nice law-abiding people they'd hand her over to the proper authorities and, well, Kyrin did not like the idea of doing hard time in some prison planet hellhole; but if they were... uh, less nice... well, if they were anything like some of the people she'd had the misfortune to work with, over the years, then... uhm, suffice to say that they would take their revenge and it would be... cruel and unusual.
'I can't help you,' she said, quickly. 'Sorry. You must be mistaken. I... I've never been to Nar Shaddaa.' That was a (very) grudging admission. 'You'll have to find someone else.'
'Er... good luck with that,' she said, hurrying away. 'Bye, then?'

Tala breathed and centered herself, trying to realize that there were no coincidences when it came to the Force... "Wait. This has to have happened for a reason, then. The Force has brought you to us; you'll be needed on Nar Shadaa, or you need something there. We can take you, we're on special envoy with the Jedi Praexum and the Galactic Republic."
She smiled, "You'll be a very useful guide, I imagine. I just wonder what it is we'll find. And don't worry, your secret's safe with me."

Jam mutters a few curses to himself in Gungan as the two Duros walk past him. He approaches Darrius with the guns.
"What should wesa do with these?"

'Uhm, maybe...' Kyrin did not sound very enthusiastic. She had never believed that "everything happens for a reason". Her personal philosophy was more like "things just happen, so what the hell."
But... She was in no mood to argue. If Tala was still willing to offer her this job even now that she knew the truth, then Kyrin knew she'd be a fool not to take it. She needed a job, it was true. And it would be nice to have a change of scenery; see something different; go out and do all those things she'd only ever dreamed of doing.
Besides... Coruscant... at least, this small part of it... seemed increasingly dangerous these days. Kyrin knew she'd exhausted her resources, there. She'd run out of money and she didn't have any real friends... to be honest, she'd be glad to get out. Yeah, she'd lie low for a while before coming back; if she ever came back.
'Alright,' she said, hesitantly. 'I'll come with you. Maybe I can be of help. But I can't promise anything.'
In her mind, she was going over everything she knew about Nar Shaddaa; what she'd need to know if she was going to 'fake' it; maybe she could look up every bit of information the Holonet had on the place; and actually, it occurred to her that she knew a few people who really did have links with Nar Shaddaa; some of them were fairly big names in the criminal underworld; and she was sure that at least one of them could come up with something that would be useful to her...
(OOC: Can I make a Gather Information check to see what Kyrin can find out?)
'Hey... uh, Tala?' she said, after a moment's pause. 'Y'know... this job... what's the pay like?'

<Nar Shadaa: A moon orbiting the Hutt world of Nal Hutta. Typically referred to as "The Smuggler's Moon." Nar Shadaa is entirely covered with a vertical city, in the manner of Coruscant, but is controlled almost completely by a variety of criminal interests. Nar Shadaa is also known as an excellent place to "get lost" from virtually all authorities, as Imperial and Republic forces alike avoid the place. Currently, Nar Shadaa is being battled over by three significant crime-lords.>

Carefully watching as the two made their way, Darrius disengaged his lightsaber and then sheathed it. He then turned toward his bodyguard.
“My dear companion, I think that we should keep these for now… and on our way toward our ship make sure we dispose of them with the proper authorities. Although I do not wish to speculate… those so well armed in public and so willing to do violence to another in order to make a quick credit, may not have a proper license to conceal these firearms. We will turn them in to the authorities, where they will do analysis scans and then determine if such a thing is true, if indeed it is true… then they will have this on their permanent record… and as such in the future it will make it all but impossible to escape justice in a well organized system.”
