"Alright, alright! Easy buddy! It's called bargaining! It's all business, okay?! No need to get so upset!"
"Tell me how much some shit is worth." The handsome and shirtless man ignored Watto, turning towards the 'stupid human slave' instead, "I'm Asmodeus by the way. Nice to meet you."
"Shmi…" She looked over and saw those orange eyes glared at her, "But you should ask my Owner instead."
"Yeah, no need to waste time with this old woman, haha~!" Watto spoke in 'common', then turned to the woman and shouted, "Get outta here! If you keep embarrassing me here, I'll sell you to a Jawa!"
"Instead of a Jawa, why don't you sell her to me?" Asmodeus looked down at the tiny human woman and smirked as he saw her fidgeting, "How about I trade her for the helmet?"
"No way!" Watto retorted angrily, "Even if you traded everything here, it wouldn't be worth a skilled slave!"
"You're a pilot, right?" Asmodeus ignored the buzzing blue man and walked closer to the woman who was about to leave the room. He reached out and almost touched her left temple with his fingers as she shivered, "Pilot, mechanic, maid, you even raised a son in such shitty conditions…"
"You're… Are you a Jedi?"
"Jedi?! Another one?! What's with all these damn Jedi coming to Tatooine lately?!"
The Toydarian complained as he floated over and grinned at the man, "How about we make a bet instead?"
"Let me guess. You'll give me the girl if I win and you get all my shit if I lose?" Asmodeus rolled his golden eyes.
"Exactly~! Haha, everybody loves a good gamble, right? I just lost my other slave in a bet not long ago… Who knows? I might get unlucky again!"
"You don't seem like a Jedi…" Shmi shivered again and took a few steps back, breathing heavily and holding her hand over her chest. She was wearing a simple gray robe, with a lighter gray shirt underneath.
"Jedi or no Jedi, my offer stands!" Watto glared at the stupid slave again, but she didn't even notice him anymore.
Shmi saw something. As if there were countless crimson tentacles writhing around behind his back! His face was still as handsome and perfect as before, but the way he looked at her…
"Last chance." Asmodeus finally turned to the blue man hovering to his right, "You'll take the helmet for the slave."
"Hah~! You damn Jedi always think you're so special! Your mind tricks won't work on me!" The Toydarian was a soldier before, with a strong will even among his kind. Even Master Qui-Gon Jinn couldn't manipulate him!
"I never said I was a Jedi."
"Ack~! St-stop~!" Watto struggled to breath and gripped his throat helplessly as his body slammed up against the wall! His wings were broken by the impact and a sharp piece of metal was sticking out through his bulging belly.
"Take, take her! She's yours!"
Asmodeus turned back to Shmi and smiled gently, "It seems like you belong to me now, my cute little slave."
"Please… Don't hurt him anymore." Although she didn't like the blue bastard, even hated him at times, he definitely wasn't the worst owner she ever had.
"Are you sure?" Asmodeus snickered as he let go and let the man breathe again. Though he was still struggling to pull himself free from the wall. Those little wings were smashed, so he just fell down and groaned in pain. Bleeding all over the floor from the holes in his back and belly.
"Nobody would care if he died."
"I would care…" Shmi sighed and then looked back up at him again, "I'm sorry, Master. It's not my place to decide what you do…"
"Ugh~!" He walked over to the barely conscious Toydarian and crouched down, "Fine. Congratulations, Dumbass. You get to live."
Reaching out towards that profusely bleeding back, Asmodeus released a strange purple light emanated along his arm, spurting out of his palm and onto the wound. The wound was pinched together and then sealed shut. Not just on the outside, even inside the body, those injuries were rapidly regenerating!
"You can… Heal, with the Force?"
"Why not?" Asmodeus shrugged, "Whether he gets cancer later ain't my problem though."
