"whatcha reading?"

"Oh this?" she pulls the book back so you can see the cover. It's a manual on stellar astrodynamics.

"Wow," you say, marveling at the content.

Her face grows dark. "See, everyone thinks twi'leks are just little sex toys, not able to learn anything except how to please someone else. You're no different than the others."

"No wait," you protest, "that's not what I meant. I was just surprised to find a book like that in a place like this."

Her face softens as you can sense she accepts your apology. "Yeah, I get some from some of the smugglers that pass through... in exchange for favors."

"Wow, you're a pretty phenomenal person," you say, shooting her a smile.

She looks up at you and smirks back. She looks like she has even surprised herself. "Thanks," she says, and you can tell she's not used to saying that word.

"Now, if you don't mind..." she begins, but you get the picture.

"Ah yeah, happy reading!" you skimper off down the hallway with a little bit of a pep to your step.
