nexus_sages | Trixie's lucky day? (Aka +1 unicorn XD)

That right there sure would be a unicorn with a bright azure blue coat and cornflower blue mane, trotting right out of nowhere into the forum. The thing that she's pulling, looks like a combination of a cart, storefront and small house behind her... It's not a huge wagon by any means, but one gets the feeling that there is more to it than a first glance would have you believe...

Trixie decreased her speed from a canter, to a trot, and finally a full stop as she looked around the area with a puzzled, but also surprised, look on her face. "Hmmm... Well, this is new..." It didn't take her long to spot what she thought had to be the ugliest sign she'd ever seen, and shortly there after, the 'Welcome to the Nexus' brochure. "Nexus?"

Floating the pamphlet over using magic, she started to read it, and looked quite intrigued by the information. "Interesting... I wonder..."

Clearing her throat, she looked around and asked "Could anyone please tell me what the local currency here is?" She paused and considered things a moment. "Also, do I need a permit to sell items here?"

Well, why not? It's not like she had any urgent business anywhere, any chance to for her to gain knowledge, new items and perhaps sell some of her wares, it would be stupidity of the highest order to let an opportunity like this pass her by.

She has indeed had her questions answered by the time he approached her, but she's always open to speaking to someone new. Trixie had unhitched herself from her cart and was checking over the spell work on it, not wanting to have something fail if her sudden appearance in the Nexus had caused a destabilization in her enchanting.

Yes, he got it right, but she much prefers to be addressed by name. "My name is Trixie..." She gives him a small curtsy by bobbing her head and bending her front legs a little. "... and once I get myself set up, I will have enchanted items, spell components, and various odds and ends for sale."

Sorry Captain, no ship parts in her cart... at least not the kind he's thinking of. She has a wooden figurehead of a sea pony somewhere however... and a couple of compasses.

"I'm afraid it will be a little while before I can offer to sell or trade anything. Since I wasn't expecting to arrive here, I have to check all the enchantments and spells on my wagon before I can set up..."

A curtsy? How formal. Baster bolts it's been an long time since he's given a bow, but he knows how to do one from the occasional con work he did among gentles. He gives her a passable one from the waist.

"Han."

He, perhaps, shouldn't be surprised that she deals in magic, lots of people around here do, but it makes him somewhat uncomfortable. Sort of limits the likelihood he'll end up buying anything from her, anyway.

"Fair enough. Where did you come from, if you don't mind me prying?"

Well, she is a unicorn after all, so magic is very much a part of her... but she is interested in non magical items too. Why else would she have a ship's figurehead? Plus, some things can be used for more than just magic...

"It's nice to meet you."

She'd not take offense if he didn't buy anything from her, selling things was mostly just a way for her to keep her inventory in check and to allow her to get more things to study. Trixie isn't in it for the money.

"I don't mind the prying provided that you don't mind my questions in return. I come from a place called Equestria."

"And it's good to meet you."

He's got his issues. With The Force, where he comes from, and to a wider degree with magic now that he's in the multiverse. Though, not every item she has is going to only be magical and at a certain point, when Captain Solo is desperate ... well, he'll utilize what's available to him. ~~Though he doesn't have to like it.~~

"Answering your questions in return seems only fair." He says with a nod. "What would you like to know?"

Well, if she knows of his... mistrust of magical items and such, she'll do her best not to 'show off' in front of him. ~~Not that she shows off anyways, but...~~

"Would you mind telling me where you're from?" She gives him a small smile "As far as I know we don't have your species on Equestria." Trixie also isn't going to assume he's something he's not, because this place seemed to be full of surprises.

Generally, he's not shy in that regard. When Han has got something that bothers him, he often says his peace or removes himself from the situation.

"I'm from a place called Corellia." And it's clear when he tells her the name that he's somewhat proud of being from there. There's a little bit of fondness in his voice that isn't always in it. "I have to admit I've never heard of Equestria before."

"It appears we have something in common then, because I have never heard of Corellia before either..." She is however, quite interested in learning more about it.

"Would you perhaps be interested in trading stories over cakes and tea sometime after I've gotten things set up and I've been settled in for a few days?" A few days should be plenty of time for her to figure out what local foods she could eat and what was suitable to serve to guests.

Han scratches his head thoughtfully.

"Not much of a tea and cakes kind of guy." Surprising, because he seems such a classy space captain, doesn't he? "I love hearing stories of places I've never been before, though, so I'll be around for some of that."

Trixie had been half expecting that answer, different world, different tastes. She'd just have to try and figure out what would be something suitable for a drink and a snack, not wanting to be a poor host should he decide to indulge her.

"That sounds wonderful." She pauses and considers things a moment. "I haven't picked out a place to settle yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to track me down later..." And that would be a giggle "From what I've seen so far, a blue unicorn is quite uncommon here."

"I've never seen a blue unicorn till today. I positive I would have remembered if I did."

Conversely, with the shoe on the other hoof, she'd seen plenty of humanoid males he has to believe. And if by chance she hasn't, well, there's plenty of them here.

"Good luck setting up, Trixie."

She might have seen many humanoid males, but not many of them had stopped for a chat. Trixie did her best to try and remember his face. His name was easy enough, but she could tell it would take her a while to get used to identifying those with humanoid features.

"Thank you. I hope you have a goo..." She blinks and looks at the sky "Good evening?" She could have sworn it was much earlier.

Well, those people were clearly lacking Han's desire to interact with a species he hasn't seen before. Not everyone appreciates discovering new things though. In fact, people love the familiar and sometimes that's rare around here.

"You too."
