Ruane helped Nuro out of the speeder, and when the dark side spiked around him for a second and he stopped, clutching his leg, Ruane threw an arm around him to help him down the corridor to the elevator. Ruane gave him an easy smile that was pure smuggler. "Easy, Nuro, buddy. You've had a rough day. Let's not scare anybody in the hallway, huh?" When it seemed like Nuro was still going to stumble, he picked the smaller Twi'lek up easily. At sputtered protests, he grinned. "Don't worry, I'll put you back down in a sec, just gonna get you where you ain't gonna fall over. Ain't never understood how Twi'leks manage not to hurt anything falling over on their head-tails."
Nuro gave Ruane an insolent look, but the relief of not walking through the muscle pain was enough that he just leaned his head back and sighed a moment. He reached over to Phinea's shoulder, once they were in the elevator, and tapped a code. It'll be fine, don't worry. This trouble isn't related to us specifically, they're mad at my master and we got caught in it. They won't follow us. Out loud, he said, "Eeth mi joniu, Jee canta Meecooda kohcha." Put me down, I think I can walk.
Ruane chuckled and eased him to his feet. "Alright, but be careful. We already caused enough of a scene today, buddy. Maybe think about layin' low for a couple of days an' recover, now."
Nuro swayed, but stayed standing, even if the dark side was a bit stronger around him. He strove not to use more than necessary. Just enough not to alarm anyone. As much as it gave him pleasure to see the weaklings on Nar Shaddaa tremble before him, he didn't want his family feeling the same way. He gave Ruane a speculative look. He wasn't entirely happy, himself, at Ruane meeting his family. Just as he hadn't been happy at the Guard going through his things. Quietly, he said, "These people. Your word, Ruane, no harm comes to them. Ever. Or I will flay you."
Ruane's nostrils flared, he narrowed his eyes at Nuro, but nodded slowly. "As long as my allegiance to my Master is not in question, no harm will come to them."
