Corran looks mournfully at the stack. "Yeah, but... paperwork's scary. It frightened the Whyren's."
Corran eyes Iella reproachfully, at last meeting her Gaze of Resigned Amusement*. Which, by the way, seems to sometimes be reserved explicitly for her partners, especially those with the surname 'Horn'. "So I come here for the first time in months. We just finished the Bantha Stomp bombing case. We know it was Thyne, just as we knew at the beginning."
"So explain to me why there is paperwork now where I'm--where I was sitting at the Bar." The look begs for mercy.

Corran shrugs, and raises his glass slightly. "Back here, so things must be good. What's new since last I saw you?"
He pauses, and frowns. "How long has it been here since last I saw you?"

The Whyren's spills.
Horror evident on his face, Corran leaps to his feet, stares at the puddle... and slowly, sadly salutes.

He stares at the youngling for a moment, then finally speaks up. "Okay, I give up. How'd you do it?"
