Xavier looks over the food realizing he hasn't eaten. He knows he will need his strength if he is to finish his mission. If he has any credits he will buy a piece of fruit that is juicy, soft, and sweet.

The fruit actually has a hard shell.
"Thank you kindly, sir!" the Pydyrian replies as he takes your credits. "If there's anything you need, I'll be happy to help!"

Xavier will take a bite from the fruit breaking off the shell if he has to.
"Thank you for the fruit. I'm just wondering around looking at the sites."

"Have you visited Pydyr before?" asks the Pydyrian, grinning as widely as he can with his small mouth.

"I can not say that have," Xavier says returning the Pydyrian's smile.

"Well! You have missed out on our wonderous world," the Pydyrian says. "I am Wokam, merchant extraordinaire and seller of fine fruits from our native soil. The hard shelled lub-lub fruit is grown not far from here, on the trees from which..."
At this moment, a spacer walks by and quite plainly snatches one of the fruit and begins to walk away without paying.
"Hey!" Wokam protests. "You have to pay for those!"
The spacer simply gives him a look of incredulity and laughs. "Make me."
Wokam cowers behind his booth. "Uh...well, I suppose a discount is in order, for customer satisfaction..."

Although Xavier was removed from the merchant's plight. Xavier knew as a Jedi he could not allow such things to happen under his watch. Also logically thievery caused economic disaster which is never good.
"I think you aught to pay the man what he is owed sir." Xavier says in a firm voice.

Your attempt to Intimidate him fails; this one isn't one to back down from anything.
"Um, why?" the spacer asks, cracked open the shell of the fruit. "I don't feel like it."

"I'm not much one for feelings," Xavier says. "But trust me the fee for the fruit will be much less expensive then fee for the hospital visit."

"Are you threatening me, pal?" The spacer takes a step towards you, and you catch him giving you a look-over to get a feel for your potential threat.

"Either pay this man or you are a thief. If you are a thief then it is my responsibility to stop you. For you that will probably mean a trip to the emergency ward."
Xavier makes sure to stand up to his full height, muscles slightly flexed.

This time your words seem to take more impact as you Intimidate him more successfully.
"Fine," he says, trying to maintain his ego while pulling out the few credits that the fruit costs and slamming them down on Wokam's booth. "I don't even like these anyways..."
He stomps off, his pride wounded.
"You...you stood up for me," Wokam says. "Off-worlders never stand up for us natives."

Xavier stands silent as the man stomps off. Emotions are such illogical things, he thinks.
"Perhaps you have not met the right off-worlders, friend." Xavier says. "Thank you once again for the fruit."
With that Xavier turns and begins to walk away to explore the rest of the market place. Eating pieces of the fruit as he goes along.
(Rex I may have missed that part but what do the Pydyrians look like?)

I suppose I did not give them a very in-depth description. They all dress in simple attire, usually a sleeveless cloak. They have high foreheads with rounded and narrow skulls. Their eyes are beady and black, with nearly flat noses and very tiny mouths. Their bodies seem stretched, their long arms and fingers reaching down to their knees, which are reversed like a bird's.
"Wait, friend!" Wokam says. "Perhaps you need a guide? What brings you to our moon?"

"Yes a guide could be nice so I do not get lost," Xavier thinks best to leave his true motives hidden.
"Well I was visiting Almania, and heard your moon is a pleasant place to come to."

"How long are you staying?" Wokam asks. Meanwhile, he gestures to a shorter Pydyrian that comes from his tent, an adolescent. You assume that Wokam asks him to watch the stand as the older Pydyrian comes to walk with you. "It is pleasant indeed, though the recent raids on our moon have been so utterly unpleasant. I wish they would stop..."
The pirates don't take Pydyrians for slaves as the Pydyrians are physically weak and generally take hard labor poorly. But you assume that the pirates still take pleasure in torturing the locals.

"Not very long if things go as planned," Xavier replies.
"I'm sure the raids will end sometime. Everything eventually ends."

"Piracy has plagued our moon for decades," Wokam says. "Tourists vanishing, right off the streets. In fact..."
He pinches your bicep. "You're not a bad specimen. They might take you if they find you on the streets."

"If they take me they will regret it," Xavier says.

"If they are all like that spacer, then yes!" Wokam agrees, though rather naively. He studies you for a moment. "You don't strike me as a tourist."
