"No one tried to rip our heads off, huh."

He smiles. "Love to see them try."

"Heh. We should get back to the ship."

"Yeah do let's."

They settle up the tab and head outside.

The Houk is waiting for them, and looks like he wants to rip their heads off.

"Hello."

He pounds a fist into the other hand, looking at Rafa.

Andronikos takes a subtle step to the side.

"How're you doing?" he continues.

"You gonna die, little human."

"Aren't we all, someday?"

He takes a roundhouse swing at Rafa's head.

Who dodges and takes a couple of steps back. "Big guy, you don't want to pick a fight with me, you're going to lose."

The Houk bellows, and charges

Fine, if the Houk wants to get hurt so much, be it. He steps to the side again and electrocutes that fucker.

That is a hurting Houk right there, yep. It gets hit by a blue stun bolt and drops to the ground.

He straightens up.

Andronikos holsters his blaster.

"Well. Almost, huh."

"I should get one of those."

"You types don't normally go in for them."

"Well, they're useful and I'm not in love with actually fighting."

"This is as good a planet as any to pick one up. We could stop before going back."

"Sounds good. Do you know where I could find one?"

"Sure do."

To a gun shop! Does he want a big gun or a small gun?

Is there a non-aesthetic difference?

Ease of concealment. Also, big guns tend to be cheaper than small guns for the same amount of oomph.
