Mau gaped at him, taken aback. She wasn't sure whether or not to take his words as an insult or as some sort of perverted compliment.
"Excuse me?" She spluttered indignantly. "Of all the... garr! Rude much?"

"Ahh, forget it. You don't know what youre dealing with, so I just suggest you just sit down and have a drink. Barkeep! Get the lady a drink!"
*The drink magically flies towards the woman as soon as I order it in the blink of an eye. I lean back in my bar stool, on two legs, drinking my new drink all the while. It seems an impossible angle for one to lean at, but for one with some training, such balance is not impossible...*

"Don't know what I'm dealing with? What I'm dealing with is a typical male!" She snorted contemptously, but excepted the drink without argument. She wasn't about to complain about that, though the manner of its arrival startled her slightly. This man certainly had a commanding pressence. Or, atleast, the bartender thought he did.
Mau eyed his precarious position with a smirk, lifting her drink to her lips.
"I'm going to laugh when you fall over."

"Or will you?"
*The chair creaks back and forth for a moment as I rock, until finally, the chair bends back to a 70 degree angle. Just as it looks as though I'm gonna fall, I make a spectacular backflip and land on my feet before the chair even falls.
I take a bow, but slip on a wet spot on the ground and fall over stupidly.*

Mau watched him in amused silence. She couldn't help but be impressedby he flip, though she'd never admit it. It was perfectly executed. But his fall ruined the effect nicely...
"Show off." she chuckled softly, as promised, eyes glinting with mirth.
"You shouldn't be so cocky, Mister."

"And your reasoning for that is...?"
*I pull the stool up, and move it right next to the lady, so as to talk to her better.*

"It only makes falling harder to bare."
Mau coughed and shifted around on her seat, giving the almost non-existant strap of her shirt a paraniod tug that ultimately did more harm than good.
"I don't believe I caught your name."

"Manda--- err, Darius. Manda Err-Darius, at your service. Yours?"

Mau arched an eyebrow. The man either had cruel parents or came from a very, very strange world to have been granted such a name.
"Manda Err-Darius? A bit of a mouthful but fun to say. I guess." She snorted.
"I'm Mau."

"Short but sweet, huh? Whatever floats your boat...
So what's a girl like you doing in a cantina like here? Business to attend?"

"Short and sweet is me in a nut shell." She winked, flashing him a dazzling grin.
"I'm here because I don't have buisness to attend to, actually. Just trying to unwind and if I'm lucky pick up another job."
She gazed at him a moment, a mischievous smile replacing her grin.
"And you... you're here to try to impress girls with your amazing fall-out-of-your-chair stunt, am I right?"

"It's a lot harder than it looks, okay?!"
*I sound shocked and insulted, but in reality I don't really care, as it wasn't that amazing. I drink the last of my booze, and order two more.*
"So I take it youre a bounty hunter?"

"I'm sure it is." She replied in a mockingly soothing tone. "Next time you might want to keep an eye out for puddles... nasty little devils."
Mau nodded, half shrugging. "More or less. I also take on other tasks... whatever pays, you know?"

"That doesn't sound very 'innocent'..."
*The young man smiles jokingly as he begins to speak again.*
"So youre looking for work, huh? Well I'm looking to hire, if youre interested..."

"Oh indeed, far, far from innocent."
Mau studied him carefully, a pensive expression gracing her delicat features.
"That depends intirely on what you're looking to hire for."
